Taylor Swift is greedy.

[Anonymous]

She has FOUR versions of her Tortured Poets album. Each album has a different bonus track.

With shipping, each album is $47. To hear all the music costs $200.

This type of pricing is insane.

Or you can stream it all on Spotify for free. There is that option.

I agree she is a capitalist queen but you’re not required to buy 4 or any copies.

Yes, I was waiting for someone to say that. Someone always says this type of thing in threads.

NP. That's because it's true. I like her music a lot, but I'm not buying four copies of anything. I'll hear it anyway on Spotify eventually.

Don't listen to her if you don't like her. You have choices. This is america.. vote with your pocketbook

This is a thing now. Olivia Rodrigo just did the same. I think she had 6-8 different versions.
It’s a numbers game and, I assume, a way to make up for the fact that we can stream the whole thing for free.
If it bothers you, don’t buy it.

And OP is a dope.

It's business, sweetheart.

Love Taylor.

She took lessons from KPop, it’s common to have multiple versions. Do swifties collect photo cards?

OP, why on earth would you buy on vinyl?

The cost of each version on vinyl is $34.99. Standard delivery brings the total to $47.99. For fans lucky enough to nab all four versions (only the version with bonus track "The Manuscript" is still available on her website), the total at checkout will be just shy of $200. Besides vinyl, there are digital downloads for $11.99, CDs for $12.99 or cassettes for $19.99.

Can’t you just stream the albums once on iTunes and buy the additional singles?
