Olympia

LOL, my thought, too. Looks like her own design to me - but I love it. Loved the drawings, too. Is this for sure already? I suppose it's right, but do we know already?

Ah, thanks - have been going through all the pages to find this information. Glad I won't have to order from US or UK then, with all the extra costs. My first thought was "not again, need to skip" but I love this artwork. Fits the orange well, only that the orange doesn't really fit the music, lol.

Lol, this fake artwork for act III 😂❤️ I guess it was an April fool joke, one day too late Cultural appropriation says hi 🙈😂 https://m.facebook.com/photo.php/?photo_id=122140934564187371

I did, but I never really got into it. Some nice tracks, but too disco for my taste 🙈 just not my genre. Fully agree. I loved the slight country touch of lemonade, which is my favorite album by her, so naturally I go crazy for this one 😍 especially as a country and Dolly lover ❤️

I have been thinking a lot about if I like the lyrics change or not but I think it was a good move. I think Jolene is one of the saddest, most desparate songs ever written and no cover comes close to Dolly's version. By changing the lyrics, Beyonce really made it her own and suitable to her image as a self confident woman, so I think that approach is 100% justified. The song develops an own life by her rework.

According to my research and to discogs black retailer and store exclusive black are the same, and all CDs just as well. Although the store exclusive vinyl might be translucent black and the retailer version not, but that's just from a discogs comment. All vinyls seem to have 22 tracks only and Ya Ya is not included 🙄

But what standard version were you talking about then in the post by you I've quoted?

Never seen this standard version so far anywhere. Have you?

I totally agree, they don't really compete as they are too different.

The one on amazon seems to be the black exclusive from the shop. Unless Amazon has the wrong Pic... And all 4 CDs are available everywhere

Love it, glad I got the vinyl. Especially as I got the blue and not black vinyl. Looks like these website exclusive vinyls have no exclusive cover indeed and the backside of the black exclusive version is just the standard version as available everywhere, just that one pays 15 euro more for it when purchasing from her site 😔 and obviously it's not possible to buy it as mp3.

Actually I experienced the opposite, I have been wearing her Chemtrails and BB and born to die anniversary tees and hoodies kind of daily. They have been washed so often you cannot imagine. And the tees are still soft and thick/heavy. Also the prints are still fine! Only the BB Eyes design now shows signs of wearing, but that's after 40 washes or so. (Her mug prints didn't even survive a hand-wash though! But tees and hoodies...)

That's how I love merch most. It is the kind of stuff you can wear at work and only other fans will recognize it. Didn't get this only because it's cropped, lol. Love the bow, but I might just buy a similar looking one for 5 EUR and write LDR on it with nail lacquer or so. Just want it for my LDR decoration, not wanting to pay 24 EUR for it incl shipping plus probably 9 EUR extra VAT. 33 EUR is surely too much.

Loved it as well. Had ordered the towel with the rear view design but then they told me they won't get it so I got my money back...

That was the one I meant. And she wore that hoodie pretty proudly. And if she made one of these, I guess the others could be hers, too.

I think in the SKIMS campaign they had some bows too, didn't they?

I think many of the LDR village designs were her designs then, too!? It's the same font as on some of the more recent items.

Thanks, doesn't work for me though as it just leads to page one and I cannot find a post with that information there. I think I read most of this thread but must have missed that somehow. Was there a screen shot or anything? Edit: never mind, clicked on the wrong link

Seriously? 😱

Omg yes please, I can picture LDR merch x Surrealism 😅

😂🙄 Also the clear version can be ordered there now. https://taylorswift.universal-music.de/

The standard cover reminds me of 2 paintings, one is "la Liberté guidant le peuple" by Delacroix, which also inspired the sculpture for Miss Liberty, if I remember right. Somehow both artworks were related. So standard and alternate cover really form a unit. Besides I recognize a Napoleon painting. And the vinyl colors are US/French national flag colors combined with Black. Lots of messages, lol. It's like mixing Miss Liberty with Botticelli's Venus. Love it. (I feel like she's copying me, lol. I am a photographer and have done a lot of these Black people as ancient paintings photo shoots. 😂)

This might be true. I have some feeling that if it's retro it's more 1920-1940 - would be supported by your theory and the Candy Necklace video), while the photos look more 1950-1970 😅🙈

They actually come without filling, so if you couldn't (re-) fill them, they'd be totally useless. Btw, took me quite a while 🙈😅, but yesterday I started to wonder about the cover photos of OB. So far, her album covers have always reflected the music and style of the album imo, but this retro style of the OB album covers don't really match the music!? Or is anyone (especially of the people with more knowledge about music than me) able to identify a clear retro style in the album sound? It sounds pretty modern and clear to me, cannot really hear the vintage vibes the album covers might make you expect from the album.

I'm really curious if the 4 special editions on her webstore will have different covers. I love the idea behind this photo, big message, but the way it's done is not perfectly executed I think.
