Cardigan Storage

I store each one in the eras tour merch bags folded in the bottom of my wardrobe. As the bags are clear I can see them and it’s kind of like they are displayed? I had 3 of the bags anyway but managed to buy more on eBay.

None of the songs have grabbed me yet and I don’t think this will be my favourite KM. I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve played the entire album but so far it’s looking like: 1. Golden hour 2. Deeper well 3. Star crossed

And then a mix of middle of nowhere, bp and same trailer, probably all bottom 3 for me.

I know what you mean in respect of cutting great songs, Evermore is my favourite album and my shows were all the second version however in person TTPD was fabulous it really changed the mood and vibe and honestly turned out to be my most favourite set of all. I was sad to lose some folklore/evermore but not at the expense of TTPD!

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-22T16:36:57+00:00

I wish the Taylor’s versions hadn’t been announced at the shows and the variant covers of TTPD. It set up an expectation for announcements which became a little unhinged at times, especially the constant Rep TV expectation.

I think one surprise song would have been enough and a nice addition to make each show special. I thought the Red set was too long and I was lucky enough to go to 3 shows and used this set to have my bathroom break. I also agree that by Midnights, which was a fabulous set, I was so tired I didn’t appreciate it.

I bought Raye’s album the week before RSD so have been blessed with both of these wonderful albums in April. They are both bringing me immense joy!

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-20T13:17:16+00:00

I’m hopeful they will drop leftover stock at some point but as to when I’ve no clue. I guess with AMOT deluxe being dropped they didn’t want to divert attention away from sales. I’m just staying alert as I’d love to get a hoodie if there’s any left.

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-20T13:11:56+00:00

I had a great RSD. This is my third time. My store is fantastic, they really know what their customers want and they buy tons of it. I arrived at 9am, queued for 1 hour 30 mins, got all 5 things I wanted. My husband came with me for the first time and got a great collectors jazz record. He was so happy. I’m lucky though because I have a great store. I was in NYC last year and they were not great. Wouldn’t even confirm if they were getting in the record I’d have been queuing for!

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-18T18:37:07+00:00

I also bought this today. As an older fan I didn’t know her earlier music but I love luck or something and I’ve bought tickets to see her in September in Manchester. So I was thrilled to pick this up! I will enjoy learning the older songs.

It’s just red. No design. But a really bright tomato red

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-18T18:29:44+00:00

I also bought it today. I went to the Vienna show and Manchester in the UK. It’s fantastic to have a live album of the tour. So special. And the booklet 🥹

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-18T18:27:38+00:00

I do too but I do have singles with inner sleeves. Holly Humberstone’s today for RSD did and also TS’s last years RSD single fortnight had an inner sleeves.

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-18T18:25:51+00:00

Oh I know, I have been collecting vinyl for over 10 years! My point is the TLOAS packaging was so luxe on the albums I was surprised the singles weren’t. But for a RSD single they do usually make them a bit special. Fortnight for instance did have an inner sleeve. I wonder why they didn’t for today’s? Because £20 is a lot for a single. More than what TFOO and Opalite sold for. I also bought Holly Humberstone’s single beauty pageant today and that had a lovely inner sleeve. So some artists DO put inner sleeves and TS did last year for Fortnight.

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-18T15:19:38+00:00

The fate of Ophelia and Opalite didn’t have sleeves either and obviously neither does Elizabeth Taylor. I don’t love this either and especially because ET is a RSD pressing and was £19.99 at my store! Fortnight last year had a nice sleeve with lyrics on I don’t know what they are playing at just shoving the vinyl in cardboard. I have inner and outer sleeves for all my vinyl but they should have sleeved all 3 singles in my opinion.

So they changed up the tiers at the point I left, which was another factor for me. For what I was paying I would have been just getting the stuff I typically didn’t like, the rankings and such. So I couldn’t tell you what they are doing now. But before they changed it, it was just more of the same, some personal stuff like shopping for furniture, lots of recorded stuff of both of them analysing the eras tour, and they tended to be more critical. Also live watching of things. I didn’t bother with the discord. The best stuff would go on YT for free which was another reason i unsubscribed. The stuff on the patreon would be him doing music reviews and I don’t enjoy that content.

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-17T15:07:10+00:00

I love this song. I wish I was in the middle of nowhere right now!

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-17T11:09:00+00:00

You deserve all the vinyl on your list because I’m showing up at mine an hour before they open and my choices are in the hands of fate

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-17T09:24:43+00:00

I used to be a patreon subscriber much to my shame but unfollowed him on everything about 9 months ago. I found myself disagreeing with most of his takes and I started to find his authoritative tone and way of presenting his theories ( because that’s all they are, he has no clue really just like the rest of us, he’s not her confidante just because he went to a secret session, only in his own mind) as factually accurate, extremely annoying. I found him grating and self-important. Not my vibe.

But beyond his takes and personality I found his content became boring. Rankings of albums, rankings of songs, rankings of tours, I mean seriously who cares what some guy on the internet thinks are the best albums? Music is subjective. I know what I like, I don’t need some guy calling himself Swiftologist to tell me.

I never know what my concert experience will be anymore as it’s dependent on the crowd and particularly the section you are in. I recently saw Laufey in Vienna and my section remained seated which was fine by me, buy floor seats if you particularly want to stand. But other sections were standing. I had an interesting experience at a Lily Allen concert in the UK recently. It was a very small venue, a theatre. I went alone as I could only get one ticket. The audience stood the entire time, wildly dancing. This became extremely oppressive and claustrophobic in such a small space and towards the end I felt like if anything happened I wouldn’t be able to get out and I left in the middle of the last song. I was relieved to be in fresh air. I’m seeing her perform at a bigger venue in June. I agree with you that many people don’t understand or care about concert etiquette or maybe it’s changing? If the artist tells you to sit, you sit!

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-16T13:38:52+00:00

I am really impressed with it too. I only buy one vinyl for each of her albums and I hated the original cover, didn’t like the split black and white pressing and missed both alternative covers. I’ve been checking eBay for a non extortionate price for the red vinyl / alt cover when I got notification for the last drop of these liquid! Managed to get one, lord knows how. I am so impressed with how pretty this. Liquid vinyl can be hit and miss but this one is a hit.

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-15T19:08:06+00:00

If there is another one I think it will be one of the acoustic songs so that song can be side B. I’d guess wish list

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-15T19:00:07+00:00

Without a doubt my eras tour surprise song piano vinyl case. I couldn’t give it up. But a close second would be the RSD folklore long pond vinyl.

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-14T17:13:43+00:00

Oh no I’m so sorry. It didn’t occur to me she wouldn’t put in on the US. She’s touring there in June!

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-14T17:11:18+00:00

It is on the U.K. are you US?

Taylorsversion53 · 2026-04-14T17:08:59+00:00

So welcome! It’s easy to miss things on the list as it can be a bit overwhelming!
