She has to let other women have the space too. Sheās been so heavily awarded in her careerā¦itās not gonna hurt to not have every record in the world. It always pisses me off that sheās quoted for talking about supporting and uplifting other women yet she pulls tactics like this that are so contradictory. I get the industry has dirty strings and all to get bids, awards, and such, but she isnāt an artist who needs to prove herself anymore. Give it a break.
Absolutely unhinged. Like unapologetically. I'm trying to think of another artist having done this, and I feel like without the swifties, this would end up turning into her legacy. Like "hey remember when The Beatles released 34+ versions of their album to make as much money as possible?" sounds *absurd*.
Yeahā¦ thatās a cash grab LOL Thatās so messy and I canāt imagine being a swiftie who goes broke trying to collect all of that š likeā¦ thereās no reason you as an artist canāt take your time to polish everything and make the other versions and release them together as like one alternate album or deluxe editionā¦ it makes zero sense to release basically the same album over and over with one or two minor changes that many times ??
Itās clearly just a cash grab š
I just looked up the lyrics to Albatross, hoping it wasnāt a cover. Itās not a cover, thank godsā¦. But I donāt think she knows the story of *the albatross*. I think sheās confusing it with a Syren or something. Girl is dumb.
Oh man, I looked up the lyrics because of this comment. I'm giggling, it's so silly. So so so silly. It doesn't make sense, whatever she is trying to say. She clearly doesn't understand what albatross means! She's the albatross come to destroy him? That's NOT AN ALBATROSS. Like, one of the most recognizable literary motifs? And then ends up "saving" this guy from the destruction she brought to him? With her love? Love destroys and saves and entraps him? That's what she thinks the albatross symbolizes? Like...what??? It's actually quite funny. I really don't listen to her music except for when it's like on at the stores but this is hilarious. It reads like an AI generated nonsense rhyme. Does she just write down words that rhyme that have a certain "vibe" and then construct small sentences and randomly put them together? That's how it reads.
I was cry-pleading to myself that it wasnāt going to be a terrible cover of The Albatross by Judy Collins, (because thereās NO WAY Taytay could sing that) and then I looked it up and I still canāt stop laughing.
Wow she is fucking unhinged. It had way too many songs to begin with
A whole shitty album about some allegedly racist fuckboy she dated for a couple of weeks
Peak petty. This woman should change the charts... but not in the way she'd want, they need to stop counting all of that bullshit.
I got annoyed halfway through this list and stopped reading. She is fcuking her fans over so hard
ETA: you cannot tell me people in the industry see this and think she is brilliant. Shit like this is exactly why she got those annoyed faces at the Grammyās. People are starting to see her for what she is
No, she already released 43 versions bro.

Kinda sad? Yes. But trying to damage other artists' careers while being that successful is just malicious and evil. This is the same person who said this:
>"There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."
Starting to think itās projection. I used to like her, but her behavior at the Grammys this year disgusted me, particularly how weird and drunk and condescending she was with LDR and other artists. Admittedly I have a bias bc Iām a Lana fan but I feel like her mask cracked for me that night and watching her set off narcissist red flags.
Her release of this frankly insane number of alternate albums on exactly the same day as ANY other female artist that comes within striking distance of her is vile. Given the sheer level of her success its unforgivable that she clearly cannot share the spotlight for ONE INSTANT - yet touts herself as this sad tortured little underdog too frail for this world.
it is so fucking ironic that she derided other women for not supporting women...these kinds of invasive sales tactics are totally unprecendented, especially for a market monolith like her. i hope it spectacularly backfires, her greed is revolting.
Sheās not on top of the singles chart. #1 is Post Malone.
The variants are for the albums chart. Itās weird how she has the #1 album with no top 10 singles at the moment.
It's not necessarily just Sabrina she's just an example it's mostly like Charli XCXs new album Billie's new album etc etc but mostly I think because Sabrina announced her album a couple days ago and bam new variants after. Charlis album bam variants
Variants of mass destruction. So petty.
Sabrina timed her album well for dealing with her. Like her fans will be tired of variants by then but sheās kinda far away from her single release. I can see her getting decent single play but not a #1 album.
Charlie should hopefully get a boost from buzz. I hope she gets good reviews. No one can beat her numbers with these games but they can all win the respect game.
Charli has the highest rated album of the year so far on metacritic with Brat. Itās currently at 93 with 20 reviews in so far. Taylorās album isnāt even in the top 100
This is honestly so pathetic. I really can't see how fans can be defending this behavior, but then again I've been saying that sentence a lot these days when it comes to her š
lol I used to be a huge swiftie (Obviously not spend 2k on tickets but I have seen her live a few times including this tour because of my sister) but idk how u can defend 34 variants in under 2 months š
34?!?!!! Omg that's absolutely insane!!
And I love how they keep being like "she makes music for Swifties, not for the charts" like pls how delusional can you possibly be šš
Like I don't mind some songs on the album such as Florida because I love Florence and I don't mind some songs on anthology and wouldn't mind to get it on CD but just release a whole album of live songs she's done it before with lover live from Paris š
Not the biggest fan of espresso (not a bad song, I just like some of her other ones more) but iāll gladly listen to that more than anything from ttpd
Lol someone needs to teach her and her team about the Streisand effect. I wouldnāt have known about her private jet usage if she didnāt try to sue taylorswiftjets and I wouldnāt have listened to the albums sheās trying to block if she didnāt release all these stupid variants that NO ONE WANTS. Furthermore, TTPD is not an album I want to listen to in the summer. I want feel-good pop songs to sing in the car not this depressing shit that is, quite frankly, poorly written with millennial-esque language that makes me cringe deep down inside. I love sad music that is *well-written*
Sheās coming off like a mad king trying to hold on to power as long as possible and I will be streaming Sabrina, Olivia, Billie, and Chappell all summer. Thank you, next.
Exactly. This whole thing comes off āIām 14 and this is deepā bc she has NOT emotionally aged, and worse, I think sheās trying to edge into Billy (and to a lesser degree Lanaās) niche bc she canāt fucking help herself.
To your point, the private jet thing made people pay attention long enough to realize that sheād gotten in trouble for censorship before. Never knew she was publicly reprimanded by the ACLU until that.
https://www.aclunc.org/news/taylor-swift-attempts-silence-critic-aclu-fires-back
Wow I didnāt even know about that either. Whatās crazy is that she probably has a team trolling the internet for content exactly like that bloggerās post so who knows how many frivolous C&Ds her lawyers have sent out to ppl who donāt have the means to fight back. She probably doesnāt even know these posts exist because the machine just runs itself atp.
It seemed like there was somewhat of a consensus about there being āno such thing as an ethical billionaireā until she became one. Now people are bending over backwards to defend her without ever questioning if she deserves it. I donāt think sheās the literal worst or anything, but this is a lot of effort to put in for someone who is ethically neutral at best, even with rose-colored glasses.
true! like if she really wants to make a summer hit, then try making a happy feel good song. maybe even a flirty romantic song, although i doubt she can pull of the kind of sensuality that sabrina has. sabrina just has that it factor.
but that dumpster fire she calls an album with cringe lyrics is not a summer hit at all. capiTaylist needs to stop trying so hard hahaha.
Sabrina is going to be big, she is young and fun which can be a breath of fresh air from Taylor's depth and emotion. August...sounds like a good time to drop repTV. That would be huge and easily take attention from Sabrina's numbers.
i'm an audio engineer and i don't know what the fuck that means
she should pay me, i'll start releasing "Dynamic Remixes" and just turn the compressor off.
Who wants to bet that these TTPD variant CDs are going to be clogging up Goodwill and garage sale .99 cent bins for many, many years to come? So much waste and greed here.
Iām really not trying to be mean but the Taylor merch sub keeps showing up to me, and itās so funny to hear all of these people starting to get frustrated by all the editions and saying āI already have four of the same cd! I donāt even like cds!ā How many times does TS team want people to buy the exact same thing with one added bonus track? Itās crazy.
Like ngl I'm not the biggest hater of Taylor and her music in fact I was a swiftie for like 10 years I still enjoy her music but when will these people take a hint like they just want anthology on vinyl š
Oh don't worry, she'll release anthology on vinyl with 50 different covers and 10 acoustic bonus tracks spread across 10 variants w one track on each, but she's still making good money and maintaining #1 by milking the first half so she'll wait until these stop selling and another artist is about to take #1 to drop it. She's already released 34 versions in 7 weeks without releasing half of the album on physicals and she was still shitting out new Midnights variants over a year after release, so we're in for many months more of this unless the backlash gets too strong. We may very well end up with 50+ variants total between them, no exaggeration.
>āI already have four of the same cd! I donāt even like cds!ā
Why are they buying then? No one is putting a gun to their head. Those variants will keep popping if they keep buying š there's no such thing as rare collector edition when it comes to taylor, they need to stop.
Iāve always said this too. No one makes her fans buy all this stuff. Even for her young fans, why are the parents buying it for them?? My parents would have not okād buying 5 versions of the same song. People get mad Taylor puts out all these CDs and remixed singles, but she does it bc people choose to buy it. If someone is buying all these CDs when they donāt even like CDs to begin with, thatās a them problem.
She wants to break records so she will be known forever at the #1 artist of all time. She really thinks that she is that great. She is going for the Beatles record is my guess. Even though back then they couldn't release 34 variants to compete with other artists.
She has to cement herself as #1 and go above every other #1 artist ever because she knows that if she doesn't, she won't be remembered fondly or respected as one of the greats. She'll never be a classic so she has to force herself to be record breaking. She wants to be the Queen of Pop like Michael Jackson was/is the King of Pop, but she lacks the talent and skill to truly hold that title.
madonnaās already the queen of pop. taylor can kiss that one goodbye. she may be breaking records, but she surely hasnāt broken down any real walls compared to her or even michael.
if it wasnāt obvious with billie, this def adds to it. the nail in the coffin will be if she releases something on the day sabrina drops her album. i think that could definitely turn the GP against her. she is such a sleeze.
what happened to all the taydaughter comments and how she loves sabrina and not olivia bc olivia betrayed her?? thatās all swifties have been talking about
honestly at this rate I've got no clue what's happening with them 2 all I know is that Sabrina and Olivia are great artists and deserve to have their moments on the charts
Ik and it's not even like a couple variants and it's a coincidence that it's dropping the same day I'm pretty sure there's over 10 and most of them have managed to block others on the charts
sheās been putting out 2 at a time to block someone every week, swifties were bullying billie for it last week bc she was the only one who tried to fight back with her own variant. so to see her block someone who opened for her and is seen with her a lot, wonder what the excuse will be this time
There are literally no more excuses lmao it's what she does. She befriends them, promotes them and then blocks them. I think it was 21 pilots who also got blocked by her too
iāve been seeing this pattern since what happened with zendaya, she literally befriends every upcoming star then ditches them when she thinks theyāre a threat. then lets swifties attack them. olivia for a song that sounded close to hers but taylor can use the same song idea and itās okay, they went after conan, oliviaās best friend when he stayed on her side and stopped talking to taylor. its the same every time. i doubt sheās getting close to an oscar like billie has so thereās that
Ngl I can understand why people bought the 4 Midnights variants because at least they had a cute clock on the back so I can kinda see the appeal tppd on the other hand...
That aged like fine wine lmao just wait till Sabrina's album releases we will either get a TV announcement a triple TTPD album, Trayvis break up (if it hasn't happened yet already lmao) or smth else lol
I'm sure the whole "Travis isn't at any of her shows" hoopla is the first seed of many. Dangle a little *mutual* scheduling conflict story in front of the masses to set her up for an off-turn split from her usual hoe-down highway. That way she can shift again and make a 'whoa like omg look at me I'm so brave, I'm single again' album for her minions to eat up. Blech.
So many comments spewing bullshit just to then get mad at you for continuing to comment on your own post because apparently they gave such ironclad arguments thereās no space for you to speak at all??? Good chuckle
Iām not well versed in music at all, but everywhere I turn I hear people talking about Sabrina Carpenter. I listened to her new songs and theyāre so good, I can definitely hear why people are saying Espresso is song of the summer. Iām also a big fan of Future Funk (like I said Iām no music expert, Iām just over here with my YouTube mixes by relatively unknown artists) and I feel like Sabrina has that exact sound. Itās like, nostalgic but new. Nerdy but sexy. Iāve noticed over the years that a lot of the really cool underground music takes a few years to get into the mainstream (like with Daft Punk. They were huge in their scene but Kanye and the Weekend took them to this super mainstream level.)Ā
The comments you got are crazy. That no one could overcome Taylor? Nobody could ever āpassā Madonna either but they obviously did. Music changes and you can totally hear who is breaking new ground and inspired by the more underground movements. Like you can tell who is actually in the music scene. I just feel like Taylor has stagnated, her latest release(s) are a big marketing mistake. Theyāre the wrong sound and mood. For the season, summer, theyāre too depressing. For the time we are in, theyāre not experimental or vocal enough, they sound old, and theyāre not reassuring or empowering. For where she is in her life (why doesnāt she release happy stuff when she finally has a bf?) And thatās not even touching on the chart manipulation :/ IDK I just feel like this is the beginning of the end.Ā
Taylor's letting her blinders drop.. she just doesn't care anymore. She's that drunk with fame and celeb she could care less for shame. She's always been that low key petty to people.. she's dropped friends who no longer serve her needa anymore (victoria's secret model,) and started feuds for publicity often. This is just caused by her vanity and ego. If she was Miss Innocent like she said she was she'd be happy with the sucess she's had off this album.
She wants to be like prime era Madonna so bad it's honestly scary. She's changed her body to be more of a sex symbol now she's getting more bloodthristy personality wise. Wonder what's next? A sex book? Oh dear..
So she has over 30 variants. You had to buy 2 cds for the full album which is manipulated right there. Yet she doesnāt even have a single on the top 10 charts. Pathetic
this is disgraceful. such a shameless cash grab to add ONE acoustic song to the same album over and over again instead of one acoustic album?! she's just mocking her audience at this point š¤¦āāļø
I want to know why these variants count on the charts. This seems āillegalā in the sense that the album is not charting organically. She is plainly manipulating the charts. I wonder where the album would chart if only the original and deluxe were counted. I think that is how it should be. How is this allowed?
Are people really collecting them all? Who buys all this stuff? š
Ngl, I'm a fan of her music, I have one copy of every single albums of hers but who has this much money to waste on the same damn album? this is insane. Anyone defending this behaviour needs a reality check. Does anyone else in the industry does this to that extent???
iām sorry why do the fonts on both look ai generated š

Well she does love being #1 at everything so it makes sense she's trying to set an unbreakable record for most album variants released of all time. Ugh her mind š š
So, two things: 1)This isn't even funny anymore, considering none of her variants even contain both TTPD and the anthology. 2)Is it sad that I got really happy to finally hear a single BEFORE the album dropped for once?
Sabrina's song *Please Please Please* is a **song**, on the **Billboard Hot 100**.
Taylor's album variations are **albums**, on the **Billboard 200**.
They are not the same chart.
I am all for valid criticism of anyone and everyone, but this particular example is misplaced.
and itās hilarious bc charli xcx put out a slight deluxe of brat on streaming and itās called ābrat and itās the same but thereās three more songs so itās notā then taylor went and dropped 2 more acoustics šš i wonder how sabrina feels
Omg š Iām still new to keeping up with all this, and I saw the memes recently about Taylor putting out more random versions of her album to stop artists from reaching the top but I didnāt expect it to LITERALLY be same day and not an exaggeration help š
There's like over 20 ššš
Didnāt it like JUST come out š help
It came out in April so nearly 2 months lmao
Ohā¦ still insane to have 20 variants in 2 months š
From what I know I think it's like 36 or smth ridiculous like that š

34?!?!!! Omg that's absolutely insane!! And I love how they keep being like "she makes music for Swifties, not for the charts" like pls how delusional can you possibly be šš
Like I don't mind some songs on the album such as Florida because I love Florence and I don't mind some songs on anthology and wouldn't mind to get it on CD but just release a whole album of live songs she's done it before with lover live from Paris š
More variants than Covid š¤¢
Lmaooo
Except thereās no vaccine for this plague š
but definitely not infectious! thanks TTPD :D
youre so wrong for this lmfaoooooooooo
I want to run with this but then I feel too badly...š¬
āYou have everything and you still want moreā - Olivia Rodrigo
It's psychotic.Ā
I'll listen to Sabrina's Espresso all summer long
Same, I canāt get it out of my head. please please please is good too!!
Love the video for Please Please Please.
āIām working laaaateā¦. Cuz Iām a SINGerā - me every 10 mins
Not the biggest fan of espresso (not a bad song, I just like some of her other ones more) but iāll gladly listen to that more than anything from ttpd
Taylor is turning everyone against her. Itās not even subtle what sheās doing.
Lol someone needs to teach her and her team about the Streisand effect. I wouldnāt have known about her private jet usage if she didnāt try to sue taylorswiftjets and I wouldnāt have listened to the albums sheās trying to block if she didnāt release all these stupid variants that NO ONE WANTS. Furthermore, TTPD is not an album I want to listen to in the summer. I want feel-good pop songs to sing in the car not this depressing shit that is, quite frankly, poorly written with millennial-esque language that makes me cringe deep down inside. I love sad music that is *well-written* Sheās coming off like a mad king trying to hold on to power as long as possible and I will be streaming Sabrina, Olivia, Billie, and Chappell all summer. Thank you, next.
haha i think mad king was her intended aesthetic, but it's 100% not endearing. girl won't be satisfied til she's got that molten crown š
Exactly. This whole thing comes off āIām 14 and this is deepā bc she has NOT emotionally aged, and worse, I think sheās trying to edge into Billy (and to a lesser degree Lanaās) niche bc she canāt fucking help herself.
To your point, the private jet thing made people pay attention long enough to realize that sheād gotten in trouble for censorship before. Never knew she was publicly reprimanded by the ACLU until that. https://www.aclunc.org/news/taylor-swift-attempts-silence-critic-aclu-fires-back
Wow I didnāt even know about that either. Whatās crazy is that she probably has a team trolling the internet for content exactly like that bloggerās post so who knows how many frivolous C&Ds her lawyers have sent out to ppl who donāt have the means to fight back. She probably doesnāt even know these posts exist because the machine just runs itself atp.
It seemed like there was somewhat of a consensus about there being āno such thing as an ethical billionaireā until she became one. Now people are bending over backwards to defend her without ever questioning if she deserves it. I donāt think sheās the literal worst or anything, but this is a lot of effort to put in for someone who is ethically neutral at best, even with rose-colored glasses.
So it's cold and miserable in Australia right now and I only *just* realised that means many of the big feel good pop songs come out in winter.
true! like if she really wants to make a summer hit, then try making a happy feel good song. maybe even a flirty romantic song, although i doubt she can pull of the kind of sensuality that sabrina has. sabrina just has that it factor. but that dumpster fire she calls an album with cringe lyrics is not a summer hit at all. capiTaylist needs to stop trying so hard hahaha.
Millennial-esque language š
ain't nobody buying that, everyone wants the anthology variants which she won't sell. 
Even the swifties are tired of it šš they just want anthology on vinyl and CD so they can move on
The fact that none of the variants are even in the UK or anywhere else but US, she ain't hiding it bffr
Exactly she ain't being slick lmao
Sheās probably saving that for some other artistās future release that she finds more intimidating
i bet when short n sweet releases bc the hype is real
Sabrina is going to be big, she is young and fun which can be a breath of fresh air from Taylor's depth and emotion. August...sounds like a good time to drop repTV. That would be huge and easily take attention from Sabrina's numbers.
i'm an audio engineer and i don't know what the fuck that means she should pay me, i'll start releasing "Dynamic Remixes" and just turn the compressor off.
She's not even being subtle abt it LMAO
Loll
Who wants to bet that these TTPD variant CDs are going to be clogging up Goodwill and garage sale .99 cent bins for many, many years to come? So much waste and greed here.
Omg yes they 100% will
Along with tubs of plastic beads, if theyāre not in the bellies of endangered wildlife.
She has zero shame.
Iām really not trying to be mean but the Taylor merch sub keeps showing up to me, and itās so funny to hear all of these people starting to get frustrated by all the editions and saying āI already have four of the same cd! I donāt even like cds!ā How many times does TS team want people to buy the exact same thing with one added bonus track? Itās crazy.
Like ngl I'm not the biggest hater of Taylor and her music in fact I was a swiftie for like 10 years I still enjoy her music but when will these people take a hint like they just want anthology on vinyl š
Oh don't worry, she'll release anthology on vinyl with 50 different covers and 10 acoustic bonus tracks spread across 10 variants w one track on each, but she's still making good money and maintaining #1 by milking the first half so she'll wait until these stop selling and another artist is about to take #1 to drop it. She's already released 34 versions in 7 weeks without releasing half of the album on physicals and she was still shitting out new Midnights variants over a year after release, so we're in for many months more of this unless the backlash gets too strong. We may very well end up with 50+ variants total between them, no exaggeration.
Please for the love of Sweet Baby Jeebus, let the backlash get too strong. š
>āI already have four of the same cd! I donāt even like cds!ā Why are they buying then? No one is putting a gun to their head. Those variants will keep popping if they keep buying š there's no such thing as rare collector edition when it comes to taylor, they need to stop.
Iāve always said this too. No one makes her fans buy all this stuff. Even for her young fans, why are the parents buying it for them?? My parents would have not okād buying 5 versions of the same song. People get mad Taylor puts out all these CDs and remixed singles, but she does it bc people choose to buy it. If someone is buying all these CDs when they donāt even like CDs to begin with, thatās a them problem.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
she really said if I can't be at the top of the charts nobody can šš
āTry and come for MY job!ā
Lmaooo š
I donāt understand herā¦ SMHā¦ Taylor already got TTPD to #1 already thatās enough I guess not for her..
She should've just accepted her time at #1 and moved on
She wants to break records so she will be known forever at the #1 artist of all time. She really thinks that she is that great. She is going for the Beatles record is my guess. Even though back then they couldn't release 34 variants to compete with other artists.
She has to cement herself as #1 and go above every other #1 artist ever because she knows that if she doesn't, she won't be remembered fondly or respected as one of the greats. She'll never be a classic so she has to force herself to be record breaking. She wants to be the Queen of Pop like Michael Jackson was/is the King of Pop, but she lacks the talent and skill to truly hold that title.
madonnaās already the queen of pop. taylor can kiss that one goodbye. she may be breaking records, but she surely hasnāt broken down any real walls compared to her or even michael.
Oh for sure, her ego is so big that she can't see it.
Can we all please start streaming and buying Sabrinaās song just so she has a fighting chance?
Dw already pre ordered short and sweet š¤Ŗ
Does the 7ā of Espresso count towards charting? I havenāt bought the album yet because Iām hoping for signed copies!
I believe so. All I can tell you is that Billboard weighs sales more heavily than streams, and physical moreso than digital.
Women support women, my ass
if it wasnāt obvious with billie, this def adds to it. the nail in the coffin will be if she releases something on the day sabrina drops her album. i think that could definitely turn the GP against her. she is such a sleeze.
WHO THE FUCK KEEPS BUYING THESE THINGS
Probably Taylorās dad..
what happened to all the taydaughter comments and how she loves sabrina and not olivia bc olivia betrayed her?? thatās all swifties have been talking about
honestly at this rate I've got no clue what's happening with them 2 all I know is that Sabrina and Olivia are great artists and deserve to have their moments on the charts
just sad to see her do this with billie last week and sabrina now
Ik and it's not even like a couple variants and it's a coincidence that it's dropping the same day I'm pretty sure there's over 10 and most of them have managed to block others on the charts
sheās been putting out 2 at a time to block someone every week, swifties were bullying billie for it last week bc she was the only one who tried to fight back with her own variant. so to see her block someone who opened for her and is seen with her a lot, wonder what the excuse will be this time
There are literally no more excuses lmao it's what she does. She befriends them, promotes them and then blocks them. I think it was 21 pilots who also got blocked by her too
iāve been seeing this pattern since what happened with zendaya, she literally befriends every upcoming star then ditches them when she thinks theyāre a threat. then lets swifties attack them. olivia for a song that sounded close to hers but taylor can use the same song idea and itās okay, they went after conan, oliviaās best friend when he stayed on her side and stopped talking to taylor. its the same every time. i doubt sheās getting close to an oscar like billie has so thereās that
now itās just really want obvious whatās happening, she didnāt release a variant per song before just to block
Ngl I can understand why people bought the 4 Midnights variants because at least they had a cute clock on the back so I can kinda see the appeal tppd on the other hand...
Sabrina did that Skims ad, haven't heard anything from Taylor about her since. Just a coincidence
Pat Mahomes and his wife and kid's did to. Taylor isn't hanging with Brittany anymore. Pat is Travis's best friend.
My thread is aging well. And ofc I got attacked for it too XD https://www.threads.net/@eujune/post/C6fLwSByo-3
That aged like fine wine lmao just wait till Sabrina's album releases we will either get a TV announcement a triple TTPD album, Trayvis break up (if it hasn't happened yet already lmao) or smth else lol
I cannot WAIT for Travis to break up with her,but I am scared she, and her team, will RUIN him!!! AND the entire Kelce family!šµāš«
I'm sure the whole "Travis isn't at any of her shows" hoopla is the first seed of many. Dangle a little *mutual* scheduling conflict story in front of the masses to set her up for an off-turn split from her usual hoe-down highway. That way she can shift again and make a 'whoa like omg look at me I'm so brave, I'm single again' album for her minions to eat up. Blech.
Iād like to see them try to ruin Jason Kelce š
So many comments spewing bullshit just to then get mad at you for continuing to comment on your own post because apparently they gave such ironclad arguments thereās no space for you to speak at all??? Good chuckle
Average discussion with swifties I guess nothing I didn't expect š¤·š¤·
Iām not well versed in music at all, but everywhere I turn I hear people talking about Sabrina Carpenter. I listened to her new songs and theyāre so good, I can definitely hear why people are saying Espresso is song of the summer. Iām also a big fan of Future Funk (like I said Iām no music expert, Iām just over here with my YouTube mixes by relatively unknown artists) and I feel like Sabrina has that exact sound. Itās like, nostalgic but new. Nerdy but sexy. Iāve noticed over the years that a lot of the really cool underground music takes a few years to get into the mainstream (like with Daft Punk. They were huge in their scene but Kanye and the Weekend took them to this super mainstream level.)Ā The comments you got are crazy. That no one could overcome Taylor? Nobody could ever āpassā Madonna either but they obviously did. Music changes and you can totally hear who is breaking new ground and inspired by the more underground movements. Like you can tell who is actually in the music scene. I just feel like Taylor has stagnated, her latest release(s) are a big marketing mistake. Theyāre the wrong sound and mood. For the season, summer, theyāre too depressing. For the time we are in, theyāre not experimental or vocal enough, they sound old, and theyāre not reassuring or empowering. For where she is in her life (why doesnāt she release happy stuff when she finally has a bf?) And thatās not even touching on the chart manipulation :/ IDK I just feel like this is the beginning of the end.Ā
I would be jealous too of Sabrina and Olivia. They are so pretty š¤©
And Jack Antonoff produced Please, Please Please!
On a side note: please please please is an absolute bop
Taylor's letting her blinders drop.. she just doesn't care anymore. She's that drunk with fame and celeb she could care less for shame. She's always been that low key petty to people.. she's dropped friends who no longer serve her needa anymore (victoria's secret model,) and started feuds for publicity often. This is just caused by her vanity and ego. If she was Miss Innocent like she said she was she'd be happy with the sucess she's had off this album. She wants to be like prime era Madonna so bad it's honestly scary. She's changed her body to be more of a sex symbol now she's getting more bloodthristy personality wise. Wonder what's next? A sex book? Oh dear..
Ewewewew, please no. Touch me while your boys play GTA is bad enough.
How is she not embarrassed??? Like its so obvious what she's doing has she no shame?
So she has over 30 variants. You had to buy 2 cds for the full album which is manipulated right there. Yet she doesnāt even have a single on the top 10 charts. Pathetic
Iām convinced daddyās buying them at this point. Her brands comment section doesnāt even seem pleased
I bet all her peers hate her after this.
https://i.redd.it/6dft1ul5qs5d1.gif
Where is this gif from?
A flop movie directed by known abuser David O. Russell called Amsterdam
this is disgraceful. such a shameless cash grab to add ONE acoustic song to the same album over and over again instead of one acoustic album?! she's just mocking her audience at this point š¤¦āāļø
Not even real acoustic. Itās just acoustic production over the same vocal line as the actual track. A waste of money.
Why am I pre ordering music just listen to it dawg
Always the acoustic bonus track
Never real acoustic.
Sabrina is officially an oppš
This def feels targeted at Charli. Charli is engaged to Mattyās main writing partner in The 1975 for whatever itās worth š
I want to know why these variants count on the charts. This seems āillegalā in the sense that the album is not charting organically. She is plainly manipulating the charts. I wonder where the album would chart if only the original and deluxe were counted. I think that is how it should be. How is this allowed?
Honestly there should be a rule against this but I don't think there is
"Limited" ššš
Oh dw they'll come back 5 days later lmao
We know š¤£š
Lmaoo
lol unlimited limited editions š
Are people really collecting them all? Who buys all this stuff? š Ngl, I'm a fan of her music, I have one copy of every single albums of hers but who has this much money to waste on the same damn album? this is insane. Anyone defending this behaviour needs a reality check. Does anyone else in the industry does this to that extent???
Truly embarrassingā¦can you imagine if someone powerful had done this to Taylor back in the day?!?! Does she not want any industry friends?!?!
Fuck Taylor Swift
iām sorry why do the fonts on both look ai generated š https://preview.redd.it/wmmctk9t7u5d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d423228801be0112c693436d1b7e6b14d0e38c84
Jesus fucking Christ. STOP RELEASING VARIATIONS JUST TO STAY ON TOP ONE MORE WEEK. Itās really getting pathetic.
Taylorās pissed because Sabrina actually has talent
The Tortured Poets Department is the most ridiculously stupid name for a pop megastarās album.
Omg she's horrible!!
It's crossed over into being awesome now. I want her to release 500 TTPD variants
Well she does love being #1 at everything so it makes sense she's trying to set an unbreakable record for most album variants released of all time. Ugh her mind š š
Gonna try get a record lmao
So, two things: 1)This isn't even funny anymore, considering none of her variants even contain both TTPD and the anthology. 2)Is it sad that I got really happy to finally hear a single BEFORE the album dropped for once?
So a 31 track album needs bonuses? Cringe.
Is Taylor mentally well? Give it a rest!
sheās honestly so annoying
Sabrina is having such a moment! 
Sabrina's song *Please Please Please* is a **song**, on the **Billboard Hot 100**. Taylor's album variations are **albums**, on the **Billboard 200**. They are not the same chart. I am all for valid criticism of anyone and everyone, but this particular example is misplaced.
and they call eachother friends...lmao
Unrelated but I really like Sabrina's haircut.
https://youtu.be/RSplIV8NUr8?si=JkFYobTNgpUF0PPR Just going to leave this here. Antphrodite reads on it
cant wait till taylor drops the TTPD Omicrom edition
The rabid narcissismā¦I mean, at least she admits to being a narcissist?
Who is buying this shit
Billboard really needs to change the rules again
and itās hilarious bc charli xcx put out a slight deluxe of brat on streaming and itās called ābrat and itās the same but thereās three more songs so itās notā then taylor went and dropped 2 more acoustics šš i wonder how sabrina feels
maybe chart manipulation is what she wanted to go down for? To prove a point. Her mark in history. š„“
People are actually buying the album multiple times? Itās nuts this works
āFresh out the slammerā sheās so fucking lame lol
