Taylor brought Lana out as surprise guest at her concert tonight and they sang "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish

Peter is one of my favorites from all 31 songs

yasssssss the hero we need upgrading my pic now

I don't think there is one. I just took a screenshot of the CD from Taylor's store. It's not the best quality but the cover is so small on iTunes it doesn't make much difference to me

yeah I just have them separated like this (and changed all the anthology tracks to lowercase) i've had it like this ever since the album came out and it's made it so much easier for me to digest all 31 songs separated into clearly distinct halves I've thought about changing the tracklist numbers on the Anthology to start with 1, but I'm so used to see #1-31 now I just left it the way it is

I use this one in my itunes apple music (and the but daddy acoustic version cd cover for the first half)

Lana probably doesn't even know what color all her vinyl variants are each album cycle I can hear her now: "there's more than one?"

I can imagine Billboard changing their rules to something like: -for purposes of charts, only sales from one standard tracklist + sales from 1-2 alternate tracklists count towards chart position. (total sales from all variant tracklists if there are more would still be reported, these just won't count towards chart position) -for sales of any additional alternate tracklists to count for chart position, it needs to be released a certain amount of time after the initial release date (like six months or something) This would definitely put an end to this nonsense

I'm rooting for Taylor but to be honest I don't think either of them look good... which is what makes this so entertaining

Nikki Lane, is that you

A few people have gotten theirs already. I've been checking online periodically for a link of the acoustic version all day but I haven't found any yet. But my cd comes tomorrow, it's already at my post office, so I'll hear it soon enough anyway

From reddit:

is anyone really surprised though

Hahahha omg the way she just added new digital versions just like I said she would I don't actually want any of them but I kinda want to buy at least one just to spite Billie's fans.... Edit: okay I bought the one with My Boy me spending $6 to help a billionaire, what's wrong with me 2nd edit: I feel like these blatant chart manipulation tactics could lead Billboard to eventually change their rules... like, this kind of behavior can't go on forever, right?

Watch Taylor release a new exclusive digital version Thursday at like 4pm "available only until midnight" at this point i'd buy it just for fun

I can already hear people discrediting her by saying she only sold 350K because she put out more versions of the album and her obsessed fans bought it again. But not a single one of those people will say Billie only sold 300K bc she put out 755 different versions too

Just last week I found out in loml she sings "you cinephile, in black and white"... i thought she was saying "you sent a file, in black and white"

I could write an entire essay about the Billie variant fiasco. I will never get over just how utterly stupid what she said was. I kinda hope Taylor blocks her from #1 just so I can laugh

my alt cover/acoustic bonus track and signed cds shipped!! i just knew they would ship them this week of all weeks (I kinda think Billie deserves the #1 spot, I really have to question sometimes why Taylor does stuff like this when she already has and achieves so much... but... play stupid games, win stupid prizes... if you say something outlandishly hypocritical with thinly veiled digs at Taylor.. well... we all know Taylor has thin skin)

hahaa the sad thing is this is so true. the "sustainability" page on Billie's store is like reading a delusional greenwashed corporate page. you know what's even more sustainable than a dozen vinyl variants with recycled everything? releasing only one variant. the funny thing is streaming is way more environmentally friendly than ecomix vinyl shipped in recycled boxes

Maybe I'm just overthinking things but Billie's store specifically mentions how all the variants have the "same tracklisting across the board" on their page about how her 783 different variants are "sustainable". My mind can't help but feel like that's a subtle dig at Taylor's different bonus track versions... (Olivia Rodrigo says hello, Billie). That's such an oddly specific thing to mention as proof of "sustainability" On the one hand I think it would be super petty if Taylor were trying to block Billie getting number one bc of what she said, but on the other hand I would laugh if Billie debuts at #2. I casually like Billie and I'm currently listening to her new album for the third time... it would be nice if she gets #1 but I feel like there's definitely some "friendly" competition going on here

Well there's also like 20,000 signed CDs to ship and the version of the CD with the acoustic But Daddy I Love Him. I wouldn't be surprised if they ship them all during the next week. (it said they ship May 31 but the Fortnight single also said that and I got mine like a week ago so the date was meaningless, they could ship whenever)

Birds of a Feather is on REPEAT

ahahhaha these digital albums with the phone memos.... she's really trying to block Billie from #1 too bad they're not anything I'm tempted to buy

SIGNED CDS RESTOCKED I JUST GOT ONEEEE
