For K

yeah i bought one (1) singular CD of midnights at target and i will never touch her online store or any store with her name on it with a fifty foot pole - and i mainly bought the album to a mixture of a. liking the music and b. i already have most of her cds and they're very easy to get at target (aka the only decent new record store near me) so
maybe having a multi-million budget pays off when you can sell cds at target
but yeah overall i don't really get why people buy multiple copies of a single album and there is only one album i have ever done this with and no it is not taylor swift

That's where I'm at. I'll stream her music and always root for her to fuck over Scooter at ever possible turn because he absolutely deserves it but I just don't want to really buy merch or even physical copies of her music just because of how morally apprehensible her business practices are. I will still stream Taylor's version of everything though and keep listening, just more at a distance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i think that there's some genuineness to her persona within her music & the world surrounding it but when you go outside of the music i can absolutely agree that she's definitely... questionable i still bought her album nn
edit: i should say that i'm not a swiftie just a casual fan

I actually wanted to add onto this. I actually had been listening to Taylor Swift since 2009 and bought all her CDs and some merch until about 2013 when I got more into Lana and haven't really kept up. These past few weeks I have been paying attention to all the TS news since she announced Midnights and the whole thing seems... uncomfy to me. The whole idea of selling four of the exact same vinyl, an INSANE amount of merch, a few weeks later followed by an entire second round of holiday merch, the release of a million different remixes some of which you have to purchase, etc. 
The whole setup of Midnights has seemed like such an obvious money grab toward fans, especially younger fans, who absolutely adore her and will absolutely spend money they do not have just to support her, a multi-millionaire likely soon to be billionaire. Her silence regarding the entire ticket master fiasco, the fact that they didn't disable dynamic pricing, and not even to mention to fact that there are tickets being sold for over $100,000 right now online is extremely disappointing. The ticket master fiasco certainly is not all on Taylor but she hasn't issued any sort of apology or even at least attempted to console fans in any type of way who were literally bawling their eyes out online. The whole thing just gives me this yucky feeling and as somebody who once obsessed over her when I was younger and listened to her music religiously growing up it's really, really disappointing. At least from this side of things, I can tell she does like having special moments with fans and making them feel a part of her music but it just seems all kind've... orchestrated at this point. I still do enjoy Taylor's music and I really do think she has genuine passion for fans I just think her love of amassing a ridiculous amount of wealth off the backs of fans is not only disappointing but borderline disturbing. 
I'm honestly just glad to have a favorite artist like Lana who has never really been interested in making herself a product to put on display and sell to people. Especially with her ending the deluxe version after ultra, saying she was interested in a digital-only release not too long ago, etc. it's obviously Lana has no interest in tithing us for cash at every possible turn. 

Taylor Swift, the person is truly such a pathetic person. if you say any of this to any of her fans well you might as well die (in their eyes). they don't want to hear any critique about their kween.

We are on the same wavelength

folklore > nfr to judge the production

Taylor Swift isn't a good person at all, she's a money hungry self serving woman that doesn't care about her fans or the world at all. she just makes nice music.

I have a collection of somewhat rare vinyls and an unused promo cd for god save our young blood 

Alleged insider "dragonwhore" mentioned it earlier in the thread, try searching "Coronado" in the query bar

The mods reading these posts knowing they're going to have to sort through this sewage treatment plant of a thread later

@shadesofcrazyforyou Lana Del Rey air freshener can merch when?? Complete with Lana decals. Scents will be: "cherry", "cola", and "bad mixing by Jack Antonoff"  

now that the doll is dead.
Can we go back to manifesting LDR9/X a witchy album?

Honestly we need an insider who works at one of those vinyl printing factories. Like honestly they take five months to press so they have to have way more info than most people do. 

Edit: Quoted the wrong thing but y'all know what this is in reference to 

i have not always been a whore in fact i've been a vocal hater
however... i have seen the light
