    It’s just going to be merch.

    Edit:
    CDs with bonus acoustic tracks.

    Good for her for at least recording new vocals this time (and smartly calling it out) because the TTPD ones were such trash

    all of this is temporary Supporter

    Of course it’s four different CDs each with two alternate recordings. And one of the eight dispersed tracks is a “voice memo.” And they’re available for 24 hrs.

    So stupid. Gotta convince the Swifties to buy four more copies each for those first week sales!

    I can't wrap my head around how many photoshoots she did for album art alone

    Is she trying to beat Adele’s record?

    The NYT’s Popcast hosts said “Actually Romantic” is better than all of “Brat” combined. And I think someone should make sure there’s not a gas leak in their studio.

    Brat had cultural impact (Brat Summer) that this album just won't have outside of diehard Swifties. No one will say "Showgirl Autumn" for instance.

    Besides, it's Deftones Autumn if anything.

    Huh. Surprised at that number. I kind of figured it would be a downshift from TTPD, just by virtue of being shorter.

    Apparently the promo clips that popped up in the various cities via QR code are all AI generated.

    So she needs ~700,000 in sales by Thursday to get the record. I don’t think that’s off the table.

    It's a third shorter so you can listen to it 3x as many times

    But yes, I agree I'm surprised it's out streaming ttpd

    She’s been trying each and every way possible to break this record for so many albums now. Breaking records and making more money is all that matters. She has an athlete’s mentality while posing as a poet.

    Wait, so four new CDs, each with two different acoustic tracks? It helps that I’m not that into the new record, but I think I am finally over her.

    I think I’ve landed at liking the first four tracks and never needing to hear any of the rest of this ever again

    It's very odd to me and people keep saying the first few tracks are their favorites because while I do like them, the first 3 songs are so similar to each other musically
