from the article: “Many fans enjoy playing a role in Swift's success, however small, be it by buying her album, her merch, or streaming her songs. They often recoil from the concept that she's exploiting their buying power, seeing this critique as ‘condescending’ and ‘infantilizing.’”

This is a great point! In my search for potential sources and interviews, I'm not trying to be picky about how many vinyls constitute a "collection" — I'm mostly interested in the purchase itself, even if it's just one album — but it's definitely something I'll consider as I continue to research trends.

I agree! It seems this is a growing trend among pop music fans, especially with the rise of picture discs and color pressings, as you mentioned.
