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.
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.
