sad, beautiful, tragic: the n&g taylor swift thread

[AnthonyI]

My guess is the latest Taylor Swift album is pressed at 45 rpm?

I've been following this, having it pop up here and everywhere on social and its just comical, lol

Hey Target...Thx for shipping Taylor unprotected in a large oversized box

Lol ours showed up in a plastic mailer. Like not kidding, a non padded clothing mailer. No idea who they have packing these up but it’s a joke.

It’s showing as sold out and they said to return it for a refund :/

Supposedly it’s getting repressed soon. I’d try with another agent tomorrow and stick to your guns.

I wanted to clarify... I have a uturn ... swapping to 45 it's a PAIN

Thankfully the one I ordered from her US store showed up today well-packaged and looking good. No consolation if your heart is set on the red vinyl.

Yeah, we have a perfectly good black copy. Gf decided last minute to grab a red from target and that’s what she gets.

Absolutely awesome! Had no idea they were 45’s. Sound great.

Mine was in the typical cardboard mailer as well.

Mine is cleaned and ready to go. Just don't want to start on it until I know I'll have the time to see it through.

Ha, I’m in the same position. Want to hear the whole thing all the way through.

I did the “originals” last night and will do the vault songs today. If I had thought it out better, I’d have listened to them all at once too.

The 10 minute All Too Well is chefs kiss. Just saying.

Have you checked out this version of that 10-minute song? Possibly the most beautiful of them all. The pop element is mostly gone and there's nothing but emotion left in its place.

My older child has been listening to the 10 minute version on repeat this morning. Is it okay if I think the "f the patriarchy" line is pretty terrible and clunky?

That was my first thought when I read about it, but after listening to it a couple of times and realizing she's describing HIS keychain, the irony works very well. It is kind of klunky, but the point is a good one.

How many copies of Red is too many? Terrible phone photo attached for visual aid:

I'm thinking Taylor's version of 1989 is fairly imminent. Taylor's version of This Love will be out tomorrow.
