Second attempt at sharing this. I didn’t manage to get tickets for any of the European venues so I will just go to the next best thing which is the “full”* concert on Disney plus. Plus I ma aged to get the audio so I will be listening to it all day long. Poor neighbours…
*I say “full” because the interludes are not included. Which is a shame as The Archer was amazing.
Exactly the same, I bought way too many copies of Midnights, TPD I bought the first one and I’m holding on to my money. If I see a signed one I’ll try for that, but otherwise that’s my money spent.
I think a lot of other people are agreeing with that, as I’m seeing more and more still for sale, I don’t think I’ve seen any version except the first sell out.
I couldn’t get the first one so I went for the regular version. She may end up releasing a fifth version with all the bonus songs in it like she did with Midnights. Then you have YouTube and Spotify to listen to all of them. Here in Spain I don’t think we can get the signed ones. We don’t even get the Target edition. And the Eras vas available this morning and not at midnight… Anyway I’m still happy with anything from her.
Trust me, don’t beat yourself up about the target versions. They are not very special, even if social media tells you they are. I have the lavender edition of Midnights which had the extra song, but other than that it’s just a regular CD. I’ve seen some posts saying it’s a game changer getting the target edition, and… meh.
I’m not, I will just buy what I can afford, it’s not a game changer for her whether I buy all the different versions of her albums or just one. I have been there with Madonna and it gets absurd in the end. Now I only buy what I feel is worth the money. Tickets for concerts and some memorabilia, but that’s all. I’m happy I found this place. I follow more swifties on Meta but I was told the fediverse is more friendly.
Of course, and we’re happy to have you! We’re small, but we’re here. It comes in waves from what I see, I try to post the major news I see and give my opinions. Not everyone on the fediverse likes us… as I see we have a nice downvote troll here that I’m going to go investigate, but I like our group
Edit: There, apparently the troll didn’t realize I’m an instance admin and can just blow away their votes lol.
I understand. I have a guy I follow on Facebook that is having issues with people telling him that he’s not a real swiftie because they know better. It’s really annoying to see the level of trolling on the Internet. Some people seem to have a lot of spare time on their own. Fortunately the fediverse is better, it reminds me of how it was years ago. But it is nice here.
That’s actually something I wanted to start this community off with, no notions of toxic behavior like that. I don’t like swifties or other fandoms gatekeeping their fandoms, that’s not fun for anyone but the gatekeeper. I also don’t like celebrity worship, Taylor is just as fallible as any of us, so I encourage honest discourse, but I have banned people for just being outright jerks as well. Discourse fine, but namecalling will get a removal.
Hope you like it here!
I know it was a bumpy start as I don’t know how this works really. I came here as the owner of our instance on mastodon told me about this, I don’t even know how reddit works. 🤣 I agree with you about the idolising of pop stars, I have seen it many times before. Fortunately swifties are more sane. Although some may be rotten apples as usual.
