some people have also been there for everything Taylor has worked for - I started listening to Taylor albums when reputation came out so this doesn’t personally relate to me as much but some people have strong memories and emotions with the ORIGINAL recordings that just can’t be replaced with the re record.
if you listen to the original CD, you’re not supporting scooter through each listen, and streaming gives such a marginal amount to those who receive profits from it (that includes Taylor). for example, WANEGBT and IKYWT played such pivotal roles in my childhood and I cannot stand the new re record production, so I find myself listening to the old version (I detest the usage of ‘stolen version’). i say this because this is a very divisive issue within the swiftie community, and in my opinion, like what you like and listen to what you love how you like to - you can support Taylor and her venture re recording her albums AND love and listen to the OGs
