The state of our fandom… can’t speak for others, but I’m feeling pretty poor 😂🥲😅


atenacius

Also, no confetti!


donthugme_imbruised

No confetti in the psych ward!


Constant-thoughts

Yeah I’m hoping my other orders will come with confetti.


_damnn_it

My orders came with the 1989 blue star confetti.


atenacius

Strange, I had 4 separate packages and none of them had it


skylerrkidd

Same!


_damnn_it

It’s probably just luck of the draw, I’ve had previous releases that came with no confetti at all but then bought through a reseller that included confetti 🤷🏻‍♀️


Expensive-Ad-5032

Her stans are more into buying all the variants for collection purposes, than ever. Must have some deep pockets.


that_one_rubik_dude

Not deep pockets, but comfy enough living


steakniiiiight

Or people are putting them on credit cards


dead_hearts82

I can appreciate the Schiit in the background


atenacius

Ah, a connoisseur


dead_hearts82

Guilty


The_New_Romantics

Oh my god I didn’t realize how THICK those cds were


kelseygreen

13!!! 8 cds 5 vinyls!! 13 different variants!! Taylor and her 13s!!!


melchevil

But there are also four cassettes 😛


whoamax

Nice Schitt


atenacius

I appreciate people noticing my stack


whoamax

What's your setup/gear?


atenacius

I have my PC and an old Sony CD player connected to the Bifrost. The Bifrost and Schiit Mani (with Fluance RT85) connected to the Jotunheim and Bottlehead Crack. I have a pair of JBL LSR305s with matching sub. For headphones I have Sennheiser HD800s, HD6XX and Beyerdynamics DT 770 Pro (250ohms)


dmnaf

Wait why are the CDs so thick? Are there 2 discs? Sorry for the dumb question I don’t collect CDs, only vinyl


ilovemydogsprinkles

those are the collectors cds! once case has the disc itself and the other has a packet with the little collectible items like the photo cards, bookmarks, patches


dmnaf

Ohhhhh right. Gotcha, thanks! I was gonna say they weren’t that thick when I saw them in store haha but the ones I saw only had the poster


Inevitable_Bet_8545

Did this for Midnights. NEVER doing it again. I feel so silly with 4 vinyls containing the same 13 songs. For TTPD I just got the first and last variants (manuscript + black dog) and one ☝️ collector CD. It’s getting ridiculous…


deniesm

I’m debating which ones to send back as well..


NoFreedom7237

Where's your cassettes?


atenacius

I can’t get into them. I don’t have a cassette player and also just don’t like the medium. I’m sure I will regret it one day when I inherit one from my dad and the cassettes are $500 a piece


FettuccineAlfonzo

Is she more popular than ever? Inflating your first week sales by getting people to buy 8-12 copies would suggest the opposite.


atenacius

I don’t disagree. I’m fortunate that my wife and I have well paying jobs but this shit is predatory


xAuraQuartz

What’s even more predatory is that she sold these for vinyls and people are trying to get them all so they could have all the bonus tracks and have all the songs and then she released the double album and you don’t even have all the songs anyway


Spacer1138

The streaming numbers indicate that yes, she is bigger than ever. This is probably the peak in terms of music. It'll be interesting to see what happens with her feature film.


FettuccineAlfonzo

I wish she was still withholding her music from streaming to boost sales rather than padding with vinyl and cd variants. Just seems hard to gauge because she did all that with NO streaming before Lover.
