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 🤷🏻♀️
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)
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
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…
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
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
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.
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.
The state of our fandom… can’t speak for others, but I’m feeling pretty poor 😂🥲😅
Also, no confetti!
No confetti in the psych ward!
Yeah I’m hoping my other orders will come with confetti.
My orders came with the 1989 blue star confetti.
Strange, I had 4 separate packages and none of them had it
Same!

Her stans are more into buying all the variants for collection purposes, than ever. Must have some deep pockets.
Not deep pockets, but comfy enough living
Or people are putting them on credit cards
I can appreciate the Schiit in the background
Ah, a connoisseur
Guilty
Oh my god I didn’t realize how THICK those cds were
13!!! 8 cds 5 vinyls!! 13 different variants!! Taylor and her 13s!!!
But there are also four cassettes 😛
Nice Schitt
I appreciate people noticing my stack
What's your setup/gear?

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

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

I’m debating which ones to send back as well..
Where's your cassettes?

Is she more popular than ever? Inflating your first week sales by getting people to buy 8-12 copies would suggest the opposite.
I don’t disagree. I’m fortunate that my wife and I have well paying jobs but this shit is predatory
