I hope she and Travis make it as a couple. After awhile if you can’t keep a relationship going then it’s not them, it’s you.
Why do people just make up random crap? You don’t like Taylor fine but this is not at all her origin story. she grew up in some town in Pennsylvania… Her dad was in finance but I promise you if he was some finance guru with mad connections he wouldn’t be doing it from Pennsylvania.
Seems like people are desperate to pin Taylor’s fame on someone else. Her dad, her connections, some white man Wizard of Oz behind the curtain did it, and she’s not all that talented.
Probably a good percent of DCUM posters come from wealthy families with connections. I know I did. And yet, none of us are 14 time Grammy winning billionaires are we?
I thought she’s from Stone Harbor NJ. A wealthy beach town? My cousin lives there and she claims Taylor is from there
Yes, she’s from New Jersey. And the good news is, you can move there too, and your daughter will be a billionaire

I feel like she screwed over her fans who preordered the album on iTunes who now have to pay twice for the same songs (12.99 + 14.99) when they could have had them all for 14.99. Like she needs more money.
Can someone explain this to me. They are two different albums. They aren’t the same songs.
Explain it like I’m 5.
They can’t explain it to you because they don’t understand it. They think people are mad because she release two albums, but that’s not it it.
Here’s an excerpt from an article Explain why people are mad…
Taylor Swift’s forthcoming album The Tortured Poets Department will be released on four different-coloured vinyl editions, each of them containing a different bonus track to incentivise fans to buy all four.
It’s clever marketing. She knows kids will force their poor parents to by all four. I bet there isn’t any discernible difference. One is more acoustic, the other is Hq, the other has more photos of Taylor , and the other has a personal message.
Am I right?
It’s essentially the same as buying for posters of Taylor Swift. The albums are different just the covers

Why is it so hard for you to understand. Fan preordered one album so she took their money for that one. Then 2 hrs later released another album with an additional 15 songs, not jus tan additional bonus tracks but a whole second album for the price of one, in ADDITION to all the songs on the first album. So instead of getting all 31 songs on the second album for $14.99. They are now stuck paying $12.99 for the first album and an additional $14.99 for the second. So $27.98 for 31 songs instead of $14.99. Now had she released these weeks apart I would not care, but 2 hrs apart and pushing pre-sales when she knew she would force those who committed to the presale to buy both albums is a smart business move but also greedy and rude to fans.
All the people that bought the original album got the extra songs in the middle of the night without purchasing anything that’s why they were freaking out at 2 AM.
I preordered in iTunes and only received the first album/16 songs. If I want the other songs I need to purchase the second album.
Did you order them from the Taylor Swift official website?

So many weird lines
I think the album is good, but out of 31 songs there are going to be better than others. I thought that was a weird line also.
BTW it's "All my friends smell like weed OR little babies"
Do still not understand this line?
What's there to understand? All her friends are either still partying or growing up and having kids? Not exactly a deep metaphor. It's still a weird line.
Why is that weird when almost everybody deals with two groups of friends one still partying and one that has settled down and is having kids?
That line can be interpreted so many ways. There’s no “or” partying or having babies, it’s “and”. Implies to me her friends had babies and not happy thus getting high.

Another album that where half the songs are also on the first album.
If I had not been a fool to preorder and had walked into the store today and could chose between the two I would be an idiot to not just buy the second one that has ALL the songs for the same price vs the first one with just half the songs. It was a shitty move one her part.
Now if Album 1 was songs 1-16 and album 2 was 17-31 I would not complain.
She’s a master at marketing. Her album sales get inflated this way
She is a greedy B. Not the victim she likes to play.

She also says she's a functional alcoholic which some clocked.
It’s so shitty to out someone for that . Of course it’s always the man with the issues and never her. She will be in serious trouble if that man commits suicide because of the crazy Swifties going after him

So don’t listen to her and don’t engage in threads about her.
Typical swiftie; anyone who doesn’t think Taylor swift is god isn’t to have an opinion
No, I'm just not dumb enough to click on threads that don't interest me with the goal of crapping on the topic.
So do you never read bad reviews, anything negative about anything? It's pretty normal for artists to get a variety of opinions about what they produce. It doesn't mean you can't like what you like.
That’s a strange takeaway.
