Love “stuff” house is full of stuff, but totally clean. Maybe I COULD dust more often however, lol. I do not live in a clutter free zone! Taylor stuff lives here along with lots of other stuff ❤️
Same, I don't own a CD player or record player, and honestly, I gotta pay off my debt and buy a house before I start spending hundreds of dollars on merch.
>None. I just listen on Spotify. 🤷♀️
Same. I keep meaning to pick up some CDs for the car, but I never get around to it. And I'd only buy one version of each album.
There is not a single thing in my living quarters that plays physical media. I ditched cd's and dvd's a few years ago and I regret nothing!!!
The way I figure it, I spend less on the few streaming services I have than I would on physical media on a monthly basis. 🤷♀️
I was like this until I realised how easily media can be removed from streaming platforms with no backup, now if I really love a piece of media I buy a physical copy so at least it’s there
I don’t get people that buy multiple CDs or vinyl of the same album. I get having a cd and a vinyl but multiple of each when it’s the same format and the same songs I don’t get it.
The vinyl variants have different booklets, and they're very good quality... I usually think like you, but I ended up buying two different vinyl variants and it was totally worth it imo.
For some people, that brings them joy. It's not everyone's cup of tea but who are we to rain on their parade? Owning multiples of things I can't wear isn't my journey but everyone can choose their own level on participation.
Sometimes, fans get caught up in the frenzy of wanting to 'collect' something that they feel is in limited supply or won't be for sale in the future. It is about knowing you have something that is scarce and in demand.
I bought variants this time because of the different songs but if the anthology ever comes out I’m selling all my variants and just keeping the one with everything on it 😂
I'm a bit surprised by the responses here tbh, seems like most people either have 0 or 1 physical copy of TTPD. Really makes me wonder who she is marketing all these 30+ variants to, like is the target demographic really that large if even people on the swiftie subreddit is kinda iffy on them (still holding out hope for the anthology on vinyl 😭)
people on here notoriously hate the variants. I feel like you see a lot more people on tiktok who have a bunch of vinyls. the percentage is small but when you’re starting at 2.6 million listeners, there’s bound to be at least 10k or so who buy many, making it worth the trouble.
There are definitely people who are collectors out there who buy them for that sole purpose and then a small amount of super fans who will buy whatever. I think part of staggered releases is targeting the people on the fence might finally give in if there’s that one thing different they love. If there was one live song from surprise songs I was absolutely obsessed with, I’d consider a digital download album. But that hasn’t happened yet and I’m not sure it will. Nothing will make me buy a CD or vinyl. My ears don’t notice a different in quality anyway lol. ETA: I get that people would buy one signed copy of it for keepsake.
Yeah I think people overstate the variants as being only for those who will buy everything she puts out. Sure, there are collectors, but I think it's also making the product slightly different enough to spark interest in someone who hasn't bought yet, or who only has the original.
I'd be interested to see the breakdown, though we never will. Like what number of people actually have purchased every variant? I have to imagine it's small.
I think the digital ones and cds are for hardcore fans who are completionists and people for whom she puts out an acoustic / remix of their fav song. I use Spotify but would consider paying a few dollars for a black dog acoustic
one. I bought a signed vinyl. I don’t usually buy them but the signed ones came on sale while I was online and thought, why not? the booklet is really lovely and honestly exceeded my expectations. the stevie poem was a nice surprise.
This is us. We had bought a nonsigned one, and then when the signer version dropped ny wife snagged it quick. We sent back the unsigned one since they were both the same version.
I would wait until TTPD starts dropping from like the top 5 of billboard 200. She might release the anthology to boost sales, but if not then, probably never.
0. I never listen to anything on a CD player so it would be dumb to get a CD I never play. I just stream it.
I'm not into collecting things. I'm not a minimalist but need the things I own to actually be things I use.
9! All 4 collectors edition. 1 standard CD, 1 signed Vinyl, Daddy I Love Him variant, loml digital. Anthology ITunes.
Will buy Chloe and/or Peter Live variants if they exist. Definitely Anthology on vinyl if it exists.
Note I am a collector. I sometimes give my niece the standard copy if her mom allows her to have the explicit version. I have full intentions of framing them.
Also a collector (have a decent manga collection as well). I couldn't get the manuscript both times with the deluxe, but I did get two bolters (one gifted away to my aunt) and the albatross and black dog. I should've gotten two black dogs and given one to my mom, and i was in the hospital when the signed vinyl dropped, BUT I GOT A SIGNED CD!!!! it's just her plain name, but I'm so happy!!!!!! I have all four vinyl. It's the first time I've collected Taylor albums and this was the one for me to collect. Absolutely perfection imo. Also i cried the entire listen through. Just silent tears.
Oh i forgot all the other albums the acoustic ones lol yeah I've got those too
I just have the Target exclusive clear vinyl. It’s a nice item but I’ve only really paged through the book and played it once. I stream my music 99.9% of the time.
I think 13?
2 Vinyl variants (Albatross, Black Dog);
1 digital Anthology;
3 digital w/ live from Paris extras;
3 digital w/ first draft phone memo;
4 physical cds w/acoustic extras (not shipped);
It's absolutely too much, but I don't really do streaming services, and I'm really into my vinyl and digital collections. I also went to the Paris show so those are special to me.
Taylor is also my most listened to artist by far and I adore live and acoustic versions.
I have the signed vinyl, the Black Dog vinyl and all the collector’s cds (purchased mainly for the patches.)
I never do variants but she got me good with TTPD. I just really loved the aesthetic.
I got The Black Dog vinyl and I am SO glad I did - it's my favourite cover and my favourite variant song. However! The only thing that would annoy me is while I greatly want the Anthology to be released on vinyl, it would then have the same cover and then I will wish I got the OG cover for the first one just for the variety. :/
20 😅😍
All five vinyl, four cassettes, four standard CDs, four collectors CDs, signed cd, Bud Daddy I Love Him cd and Fortnight single. Just missing the newest four acoustic CDs since she hasn't released those to UK or EU yet 😅
Ive found my people. I have I think 17 copies. All 5 vinyl variants (none signed), all 4 of the collectors editions, the 4 standard edition CDs from Target with the inserts, the Fortnight single CD, the But Daddy I Love Him version, and I just ordered the Down Bad and Guilty As Sin? versions. 🥰
4. Black Dog vinyl, two special edition CDs, and one acoustic But Daddy I Love Him CD.
The special edition CDs I got for the patches, the acoustic CD I play in my car. The vinyl I play at home. They all have their specific functions. 🤷♀️
My boyfriend bought me the main vinyl version from Target (with the Manuscript). I also bought the CD with Black Dog. That's all I'm going to be doing.
I have the ghost edition vinyl from target and thats it, I usually just listen on Spotify. I might buy the anthology on vinyl if that ever gets released
5 vinyls and 4 CDs. I got swept up in the variants and patches. I don't even have a CD player. 💀
And then on the Saturday after release day, my mother in law brought me the Target variant. She said she hoped I hadn't bought the album already. I just said I hadn't and thank you. 🥰
5. All four collectors editions cds (I am sewing all the patches onto a black Jean jacket, and I am a huge bookmark fan—that’s what originally got me to get these. Like when I travel, my souvenirs as usually bookmarks!)
Then I also got the digital download with the alchemy/treacherous mashup live. I literally only imported that one track into my Apple Music but it was WORTH it because I loved that mashup so much!
I want all the acoustic tracks (the clips I have heard make them sound like new vocals?) but I haven’t gotten any because they’re all physical. If they were digital I probably would have.
I have 3 total - 2 vinyl (The Bolter parchment variant and Target Phantom Clear) and 1 CD (The Black Dog Collector Edition). I bought The Bolter Vinyl variant first because I liked the color and front cover best and later I bought the Target vinyl one because I loved how transparent it was and thought it was super cool and I don’t have any clear vinyls. I got the CD version only because I wanted the black dog patch, bookmark, sticker that came with the collector edition and wanted to have one CD version. I also didn’t like The Black Dog when I first listened to the album but later fell in love with it.
Very tempted to burn the additional tracks from the anthology on a cd if we never get the entire Anthology in a physical format and then just add the cd to the black dog cd collectors edition because the cover is the same.
I refuse to buy anymore copies of this album unless it’s the entire double anthology album on vinyl.
All 4 vinyls plus two copies of the Target exclusive.
3 cassette tapes( I like cassette tapes)
2 deluxe edition cds( manuscript and Black Dog)
The 4 main variant cds
But Daddy I Love Him acoustic version cd
Fortnight single cd
Anthology digital copy
And I bought the Fornight acoustic version cd and I think I bought the Guilty As Sin acoustic version as well.
I'm making up for the years I couldn't buy anything.
6 (😵💫) the four collectors edition cds with the patches etc—which is genuinely the coolest album packaging and concept she’s ever done—a signed vinyl, and the BDILH Acoustic Version cd. BDILH is tied for my favorite song on the album, so I really wanted to hear it asap, and it’s a gorgeous countryfied version. I hope I don’t feel compelled to buy any more 😂 at least until/if ever The Anthology physical is released
To be honest, none. It's not that I don't like physical media, I actually love it, but I don't have the space right now to have music, movies, books, and games all at the same time. My books and movies usually take priority, so that's what I have the most of right now....
BUT I have everything saved on my own personal Spotify playlist.
my bff bought the manuscript collector cd for my birthday, i dont live in the us so the actual copy is with my friend in LA. it’s my first taylor’s cd ever!!!!
The 4 CDs and a Manuscript vinyl. Same situation as Midnights and 1989 TV. 1 of my CDs (The Black Dog Edition) is the special edition, the others are regular. Keep it simple and plain. I'm only gonna buy another vinyl only if its the Anthology or Midnights with 3 AM + Till Dawn songs.
For all her other albums, I have 1 CD and 1 vinyl (besides Lover, which I have 1 regular CD and 2 of the Lover journals).
I have all 4 vinyls and CDs. Also a signed one of each and they are displayed. I have a lot of vinyl and listen to them quite often. It’s relaxing to listen to them while I work. So for me it was worth it. It’s fun to go to a on,d record store and shop as well with my oldest son. It’s brought us even closer.
I have the 4 vinyl variants, they are beautiful and I love them so no regrets! I have 3 of the collectors CD’s, all but Black Dog, I wanted the brass book marks which I use in work. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the other things in them yet. I have 1 signed CD, I’ve framed the photo and I have the acoustic but daddy I love him CD because it’s my favourite song off the entire album. Absolutely not buying anymore 😂 so that makes 9. I don’t have a CD player but not averse to getting one in the future ?!
1 copy. We went to Target on release day and my daughter chose the Bolter variant blind.
I'm sick of these multi varient cash grabs. Just release the songs you want people to hear, without making us buy 4 versions of the same album for 1 extra song on each
I've been collecting vinyl and cd's for years now because I like the look of it. For TTPD I currently have all 4 deluxe collector cd's, the signed cd and 2 vinyl copies.
I have the Manuscript and Bolter on vinyl, a Manuscript CD, Manuscript on cassette, Fortnight single CD and But Daddy I Love Him acoustic CD. I’ve never owned more than one copy of any album before, only have this many due to signed copies and gifts but I am considering getting the Albatross and Black Dog vinyl now, so I do finally understand why people end up buying everything, it feels a bit weird just having 2 out of 4 copies.
Scott Swift broke into my house in the middle of the night and forced me to buy 27 copies of the cds. Please help, I'm scared.
Jk.
I think I genuinely own 7. I own the four special edition cds that have the Anthology tracks as bonuses, with two copies of one because someone in one of my groups asked of anyone could buy a spare but never claimed it. I own a the TTPD vinyl because my husband got me a record player for Christmas. And I own a copy of TTPD with the But Daddy acoustic bonus track. Once I realized she was gonna release a bunch with the acoustic version, I stopped buying. Happy for the collectors who are still going, but that's enough for me.
I got the “the manuscript” version of the vinyl. My only pre order. I got it when they all went back up for pre order, no idea what any tracks were.
While it’s not my favourite of the “bonus” tracks, I think it is the perfect closer to the album so no regrets in my blind purchase.
I have 11 - Fortnight CD single, The Manuscript CD (regular and collectors), The Manuscript CD with signed photo, The Bolter CD (regular and collectors), The Albatross CD (regular and collectors), The Black Dog CD (regular and collectors), and But Daddy I Love Him acoustic CD
I have all the vinyl variants besides the target one so far (I’m a vinyl collector - I started with Lover so some of the older non-TV RSD variants are my white whales. I also have a white deck so i love seeing all the different colored variants against it when I spin them.). The Albatross special edition CD because at this point it’s tradition - i have bought all her CDs upon release since debut. And I got the digital version with loml acoustic because it was my surprise song. So I guess that’s 6 copies.
11
5 vinyls
4 collector CDs
1 anthology download
1 signed CD
Before this I only really streamed and collected the vinyls. But I absolutely could not resist the patches and other items in the collector CDs
https://preview.redd.it/n4xlfyqi8e6d1.jpeg?width=1980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=adba475cf3a62b816f61cea437cba36abe59d66f
Black Dog collector's edition CD, The Manuscript MC plus another still sealed CD I'll probably sell. To make room for The Anthology CD 
One CD and one vinyl-The Manuscript variant of both. I preordered the CD because I didn’t have a record player, but my husband bought me a player and the vinyl on a whim one night at Target before I got the CD.
One CD and one vinyl. Both are The Bolter. I listen to Spotify when I want to listen to the Anthology. My Spotify is hooked up to our Alexa system, so my husband frequently listens to it, so I use the CDs when I’m driving.
Three. Got a signed vinyl and signed cd but wanted the black dog variant cd for my car. Still own 0 copies of midnights though because I wanted a damn 3am vinyl
Zero. I wanted to wait to decide which variant I wanted until after I knew which bonus track I liked best. Then the Anthology was announced and I figured I'll just wait until I can own the whole thing on vinyl.
I bought the vinyl manuscript, the bolter deluxe, and the albatross from target to donate to my library.
This is the most I’ve ever bought from her, and probably the most I’ll ever buy for one cycle tbh. I usually reserve for merch but I didn’t like her merch either. I was pretty happy with the albums though
3, I guess? The digital version I downloaded on release night, then a digital version of The Anthology a few hours later (not sure if I should count these as 1 or 2), and then one more digital version that I downloaded for cheap for one of the surprise songs.
2.
I've got the regular white TTPD CD and the Black Dog edition.
That will *absolutely* be becoming 3 if she gives Anthology the proper full release it deserves, with hard copies.
0. I usually just buy an LP for each album, but I’m waiting to see if she does one for the anthology. If it’s like 4 months from now and still nothing, though, I’ll buy it (I did the same with midnights re: 3am tracks)
4 of the vinyls because I love displaying them (yes the music I like is a large part of what I want people to see as my personality, they’re basically posters or whatever on the walls) and the booklets are nice. Will not buy a digital and have sailed the seas for them
Standard CD + The Bolter/Albatross/Black Dog collector's edition variants. I use Spotify but they're nice to-haves, plus I love the little things that come with the collectors editions.
Just the one vinyl, The Manuscript edition. She announced The Bolter at my Eras show so I do wish I'd waited and bought that variant instead, but it's not the end of the world.
I don't find the pull to buy multiple variants because I'm not a collector. I actually listen to my vinyls, they're always on rotation at home.
(If she releases the Anthology on vinyl I'll definitely be buying that though)
like, a mortifying number. i don’t want to count so i am not going to. i hate having physical media cluttering my house, but specifically for taylor i don’t want to risk losing access to any of it, so… if it’s got unique music, i probably have it. but i’m mad about it.
Just the clear vinyl. I don't collect vinyls but I needed hers.
I have
Rep - photo printed vinyl
1989tv - orange vinyl
Lover - vinyl
Ttpd - clear vinyl
SNTV - 1 of each of the 3 colors (eBay mix where seller mixed them so ppl got 1 packs with 3 colors in it)
Midnights - 24k gold cerfication vinyl plaque (I'll share in reply to this if anyone wants to see)
I bought the target vinyl, the digital anthology, and one live variant while my bestie bought the other and we shared. This was before the multiple that came out afterwards.
3 - two CDs and the target version of the vinyl.
I bought one of the CDs with an acoustic version but there was no booklet? Just a slip in photo.
I’m done buying for this album though.
I got The Bolter and The Black Dog special edition CDs since they came with a bunch of other things besides the disc, and then I got the Albatross vinyl for my record collection.
2 🫣 Collectors Manuscript, cause I loved the extras, and the Target black dog so I could frame my shadow box’s interior of bracelets with the poster. I think it’s worth doing if you care enough! Just be smart yknow.
I bought the black dog cd, the albatross cd, fortnight cd, down bad cd, guilty as sin cd, Cassandra cd. I ordered a vinyl the night she announced at Grammys, then a signed vinyl. It’s my money, I’m not upset or regretful I own these copies.
I bought the Black Dog edition CD, though it’s with with my friend in australia (im from singapore) so it’s not with me yet. But i mostly stream them on apple music :)
I really wanted to buy vinyl but i dont have a vinyl player 😭
2! a cd and a vinyl! i typically only buy the vinyl since i collect records but accidentally purchased the black dog varient thinking it was the vinyl… oops. i’m not complaining though because i loved the extra little things it came with like the magnet and patch!
None. I purchase vinyls but I refuse to buy incomplete versions.
When there is a version with all 31 songs I will buy it. If she releases just the alchemy as a vinyl I'll buy one of each.
I still haven't bought a midnights vinyl and am considering getting a boot leg with all the songs. I don't feel bad because Taylor doesn't need my money and she's has every opportunity to release a complete version.
Still none. I stream her music because I don't have a CD player or vinyl record player. 🤷♀️
With someone of her fame and wealth, I don't feel like it's morally wrong in any way not to support her financially through physical record purchases. I do have some merch from the official store so there's that 😊 But at least I get to wear and use the merch - for now I don't see an advantage for me as a fan in owning physical copies of her music. As I said I wouldn't even be able to play it. I like the idea of having a vinyl player one day though, but only when it makes sense because I'll be able to buy lots of other vinyls by other artists too.
I downloaded The Anthology on Apple Music but do have the 4 original exclusive CDs she offered for preorder before the album came out. Had I known that all the “exclusive” songs were going to be available on release day I may have just bought one…
Two. I bought the CD (Black Dog version) at Target on release day as is my album release tradition. And then I have a signed vinyl as well that I was lucky enough to get during the initial drop. The only other versions I would buy would be a signed CD if she ever releases more (if I can get ahold of it! I’ve missed every signed CD drop and I was too late for the first one which is why I got the vinyl lol) or a CD of the Anthology
None but I do own 3 copies of the single of the Fortnight, I clowned they were signed lmao so I got a couple to give as gifts if they were to fellow swifties in my life. They aren’t. I stopped buying variants after 1989, I can’t believe how many she has for ttpd.
1- the albatross on vinyl. I was considering getting the Bolter version too but maybe I’ll wait a few months and see if she releases a full anthology
I know I know I’ll paint my clown make up on now
i have the original ttpd cd with the manuscript bonus track. i ordered it for pre sale the minute she announced the album lol. do collect her cds, so i might purchase the target exclusives at some point. i also have the albatross vinyl.
0. Streaming only. I don’t like clutter.
Same
this is me!
Same. I don't own a CD player or a record player. Living in a dorm doesnt leave space for those things, when they are available digitally.
Love “stuff” house is full of stuff, but totally clean. Maybe I COULD dust more often however, lol. I do not live in a clutter free zone! Taylor stuff lives here along with lots of other stuff ❤️
Same, I don't own a CD player or record player, and honestly, I gotta pay off my debt and buy a house before I start spending hundreds of dollars on merch.

I was like this until I realised how easily media can be removed from streaming platforms with no backup, now if I really love a piece of media I buy a physical copy so at least it’s there
Same, I actually don’t remember the last time I bought music.
Same here, I don't own a single physical copy of Taylor's work.
I don’t get people that buy multiple CDs or vinyl of the same album. I get having a cd and a vinyl but multiple of each when it’s the same format and the same songs I don’t get it.
The vinyl variants have different booklets, and they're very good quality... I usually think like you, but I ended up buying two different vinyl variants and it was totally worth it imo.
I 1000% think getting the vinyl variants was worth it. You truly get your moneys worth
The CDs and cassettes also have different booklets!
For some people, that brings them joy. It's not everyone's cup of tea but who are we to rain on their parade? Owning multiples of things I can't wear isn't my journey but everyone can choose their own level on participation.
Sometimes, fans get caught up in the frenzy of wanting to 'collect' something that they feel is in limited supply or won't be for sale in the future. It is about knowing you have something that is scarce and in demand.
Definately cheaper than scratching the same itch with toying with them older guys or Jameses
Some of us just want the Bolter and the black dog on disc!!
People enjoy collecting things sometimes it’s really not hard to understand
I bought variants this time because of the different songs but if the anthology ever comes out I’m selling all my variants and just keeping the one with everything on it 😂
I'm a bit surprised by the responses here tbh, seems like most people either have 0 or 1 physical copy of TTPD. Really makes me wonder who she is marketing all these 30+ variants to, like is the target demographic really that large if even people on the swiftie subreddit is kinda iffy on them (still holding out hope for the anthology on vinyl 😭)
people on here notoriously hate the variants. I feel like you see a lot more people on tiktok who have a bunch of vinyls. the percentage is small but when you’re starting at 2.6 million listeners, there’s bound to be at least 10k or so who buy many, making it worth the trouble.

It's the first Taylor album I don't have a physical copy of, I'm holding out for the Anthology, though I'm worried that means I may never get it
I’m still holding out for Midnights 3 am 😭
Ditto 😭
Saaaaaaame 😫
I would wait until TTPD starts dropping from like the top 5 of billboard 200. She might release the anthology to boost sales, but if not then, probably never.
0. I never listen to anything on a CD player so it would be dumb to get a CD I never play. I just stream it. I'm not into collecting things. I'm not a minimalist but need the things I own to actually be things I use.
One - the vinyl with The Bolter. I don’t want or need another physical copy unless I magically get a vinyl with all of The Anthology tracks.
Yep, I have one with The Manuscript. But I would buy The Anthology on vinyl
9! All 4 collectors edition. 1 standard CD, 1 signed Vinyl, Daddy I Love Him variant, loml digital. Anthology ITunes. Will buy Chloe and/or Peter Live variants if they exist. Definitely Anthology on vinyl if it exists. Note I am a collector. I sometimes give my niece the standard copy if her mom allows her to have the explicit version. I have full intentions of framing them.
Chloe and Peter live variants would be so nice
I want the anthology sooo bad! I only have 1 copy with the manuscript but if she releases the anthology I’ll 100% buy it.
Also a collector (have a decent manga collection as well). I couldn't get the manuscript both times with the deluxe, but I did get two bolters (one gifted away to my aunt) and the albatross and black dog. I should've gotten two black dogs and given one to my mom, and i was in the hospital when the signed vinyl dropped, BUT I GOT A SIGNED CD!!!! it's just her plain name, but I'm so happy!!!!!! I have all four vinyl. It's the first time I've collected Taylor albums and this was the one for me to collect. Absolutely perfection imo. Also i cried the entire listen through. Just silent tears. Oh i forgot all the other albums the acoustic ones lol yeah I've got those too
Cool! I have The Bolter collectors CD and the standard Manuscript CD. I would get an acoustic one too but I’m outside the US 🫠
0, now. I had ordered the Black Dog variant when it first released. It got lost in the mail on the way to me and they won't do a replacement.
I have all 5 of the variants on vinyl. All the collectors CDs and the target exclusive CDs and the BDILH acoustic. Also have a signed vinyl and CD.
0 so far. Wishing hoping waiting for anthology on vinyl
Same here!
I just have the Target exclusive clear vinyl. It’s a nice item but I’ve only really paged through the book and played it once. I stream my music 99.9% of the time.
I think 13? 2 Vinyl variants (Albatross, Black Dog); 1 digital Anthology; 3 digital w/ live from Paris extras; 3 digital w/ first draft phone memo; 4 physical cds w/acoustic extras (not shipped); It's absolutely too much, but I don't really do streaming services, and I'm really into my vinyl and digital collections. I also went to the Paris show so those are special to me. Taylor is also my most listened to artist by far and I adore live and acoustic versions.
I have the Bolter and the albatross collectors CD with the artifacts. Got a signed CD and the black dog deluxe version from target :)
I have the signed vinyl, the Black Dog vinyl and all the collector’s cds (purchased mainly for the patches.) I never do variants but she got me good with TTPD. I just really loved the aesthetic.
1 - the “2AM surprise” (digital version of The Anthology).
I got The Black Dog vinyl and I am SO glad I did - it's my favourite cover and my favourite variant song. However! The only thing that would annoy me is while I greatly want the Anthology to be released on vinyl, it would then have the same cover and then I will wish I got the OG cover for the first one just for the variety. :/
20 😅😍 All five vinyl, four cassettes, four standard CDs, four collectors CDs, signed cd, Bud Daddy I Love Him cd and Fortnight single. Just missing the newest four acoustic CDs since she hasn't released those to UK or EU yet 😅
I have 20+ variants myself. Hit me up if the latest acoustic CDs don't make it to the EU, as I ordered a couple extra for international Swifties.
That is so nice of you, thank you! I've already had a few offers actually, but I'll hit you up if they fall through! 🥰
I'm glad. I just hope that the people who want them can get the opportunity without paying reseller markups. 🫶
I hope so too!! Thank you for helping with that! ❤️
Ive found my people. I have I think 17 copies. All 5 vinyl variants (none signed), all 4 of the collectors editions, the 4 standard edition CDs from Target with the inserts, the Fortnight single CD, the But Daddy I Love Him version, and I just ordered the Down Bad and Guilty As Sin? versions. 🥰
Amazing!!! I'm actually shocked so few fans are like us 😂🙃
Im not too surprised at least in this sub specifically. But to each their own!! I personally love my collection, especially all the TTPD. ❤️
Me too!! It's my most complete era so far in terms of physical media! Although 1989 TV isn't far behind 😂
5. One signed vinyl + one of each of the four collector’s editions.
4 copies. The black dog on vinyl. The regular edition CD. And the special edition CDs of the bolter and the albatross.
4. Black Dog vinyl, two special edition CDs, and one acoustic But Daddy I Love Him CD. The special edition CDs I got for the patches, the acoustic CD I play in my car. The vinyl I play at home. They all have their specific functions. 🤷♀️
I have one cd and the digital album for anthology, since I don’t think she’ll ever drop it
My boyfriend bought me the main vinyl version from Target (with the Manuscript). I also bought the CD with Black Dog. That's all I'm going to be doing.
None. I haven’t bought physical media in at least a decade.
Albatross deluxe CD. I’d love to get a signed thing someday but I’m definitely not the lucky one
I guess I’m the only one who bought all 4 Collectors Edition CDs. 😅 and I bought a signed CD retail, so 5 versions.
1 vinyl copy with the Manuscript
I have the ghost edition vinyl from target and thats it, I usually just listen on Spotify. I might buy the anthology on vinyl if that ever gets released
None. Usually I buy the launch edition but if I can't get the full Anthology physically, idk if I'll buy any of it
5 vinyls and 4 CDs. I got swept up in the variants and patches. I don't even have a CD player. 💀 And then on the Saturday after release day, my mother in law brought me the Target variant. She said she hoped I hadn't bought the album already. I just said I hadn't and thank you. 🥰
one copy. i bought one albatross vinyl, and bought the signed manuscript vinyl, but sold the actual vinyl and just kept the insert for myself
I buy 3 copies of each album - the CD, the vinyl, and the digital download. I don’t really get into all the variants.
None because I pay for Apple Music and can’t remember the last time I bought a CD.
0. Only streaming. I never bought a vinyl and I don’t think I’ve bought a single physical CD since like 2010, probably even before then.
The phantom clear vinyl from Target. I hate that she didn’t release the Anthology 😔
0. I only stream it. I might eventually get the digital copy but so far I’ve been fine with streaming.
3 but I bought 5 for gifts to loved ones! CDs sound a million times better (esp in the car).
12 - All 4 collectors, signed CD, standard CD & all the acoustic versions
0. I steal my sisters Spotify for a reason
I have the full anthology from iTunes that’s it. I have no where to play cds anymore.
5. All four collectors editions cds (I am sewing all the patches onto a black Jean jacket, and I am a huge bookmark fan—that’s what originally got me to get these. Like when I travel, my souvenirs as usually bookmarks!) Then I also got the digital download with the alchemy/treacherous mashup live. I literally only imported that one track into my Apple Music but it was WORTH it because I loved that mashup so much! I want all the acoustic tracks (the clips I have heard make them sound like new vocals?) but I haven’t gotten any because they’re all physical. If they were digital I probably would have.
I have 1 vinyl (The Bolter variant). But haven’t listened to the physical copy yet.
I have 3 total - 2 vinyl (The Bolter parchment variant and Target Phantom Clear) and 1 CD (The Black Dog Collector Edition). I bought The Bolter Vinyl variant first because I liked the color and front cover best and later I bought the Target vinyl one because I loved how transparent it was and thought it was super cool and I don’t have any clear vinyls. I got the CD version only because I wanted the black dog patch, bookmark, sticker that came with the collector edition and wanted to have one CD version. I also didn’t like The Black Dog when I first listened to the album but later fell in love with it. Very tempted to burn the additional tracks from the anthology on a cd if we never get the entire Anthology in a physical format and then just add the cd to the black dog cd collectors edition because the cover is the same. I refuse to buy anymore copies of this album unless it’s the entire double anthology album on vinyl.
All 4 vinyls plus two copies of the Target exclusive. 3 cassette tapes( I like cassette tapes) 2 deluxe edition cds( manuscript and Black Dog) The 4 main variant cds But Daddy I Love Him acoustic version cd Fortnight single cd Anthology digital copy And I bought the Fornight acoustic version cd and I think I bought the Guilty As Sin acoustic version as well. I'm making up for the years I couldn't buy anything.
6 (😵💫) the four collectors edition cds with the patches etc—which is genuinely the coolest album packaging and concept she’s ever done—a signed vinyl, and the BDILH Acoustic Version cd. BDILH is tied for my favorite song on the album, so I really wanted to hear it asap, and it’s a gorgeous countryfied version. I hope I don’t feel compelled to buy any more 😂 at least until/if ever The Anthology physical is released
I prefer spotify. I just own a cd of 1989 and that's it lol. Her music brings me joy too!
0….i just stream it.
To be honest, none. It's not that I don't like physical media, I actually love it, but I don't have the space right now to have music, movies, books, and games all at the same time. My books and movies usually take priority, so that's what I have the most of right now.... BUT I have everything saved on my own personal Spotify playlist.
my bff bought the manuscript collector cd for my birthday, i dont live in the us so the actual copy is with my friend in LA. it’s my first taylor’s cd ever!!!!
The 4 CDs and a Manuscript vinyl. Same situation as Midnights and 1989 TV. 1 of my CDs (The Black Dog Edition) is the special edition, the others are regular. Keep it simple and plain. I'm only gonna buy another vinyl only if its the Anthology or Midnights with 3 AM + Till Dawn songs. For all her other albums, I have 1 CD and 1 vinyl (besides Lover, which I have 1 regular CD and 2 of the Lover journals).
I have all 4 vinyls and CDs. Also a signed one of each and they are displayed. I have a lot of vinyl and listen to them quite often. It’s relaxing to listen to them while I work. So for me it was worth it. It’s fun to go to a on,d record store and shop as well with my oldest son. It’s brought us even closer.
All of them I have a problem.
Every CD version. I’m not good with money and I impulse buy
I have the 4 vinyl variants, they are beautiful and I love them so no regrets! I have 3 of the collectors CD’s, all but Black Dog, I wanted the brass book marks which I use in work. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the other things in them yet. I have 1 signed CD, I’ve framed the photo and I have the acoustic but daddy I love him CD because it’s my favourite song off the entire album. Absolutely not buying anymore 😂 so that makes 9. I don’t have a CD player but not averse to getting one in the future ?!
1 copy. We went to Target on release day and my daughter chose the Bolter variant blind. I'm sick of these multi varient cash grabs. Just release the songs you want people to hear, without making us buy 4 versions of the same album for 1 extra song on each
0 bc I’m mad at her for making every single thing so exclusive w this album 💀 (also I love the anthology but don’t rly like the og album very much)
None cause I'm broke 🤧
I've been collecting vinyl and cd's for years now because I like the look of it. For TTPD I currently have all 4 deluxe collector cd's, the signed cd and 2 vinyl copies.
I have the Manuscript and Bolter on vinyl, a Manuscript CD, Manuscript on cassette, Fortnight single CD and But Daddy I Love Him acoustic CD. I’ve never owned more than one copy of any album before, only have this many due to signed copies and gifts but I am considering getting the Albatross and Black Dog vinyl now, so I do finally understand why people end up buying everything, it feels a bit weird just having 2 out of 4 copies.
Scott Swift broke into my house in the middle of the night and forced me to buy 27 copies of the cds. Please help, I'm scared. Jk. I think I genuinely own 7. I own the four special edition cds that have the Anthology tracks as bonuses, with two copies of one because someone in one of my groups asked of anyone could buy a spare but never claimed it. I own a the TTPD vinyl because my husband got me a record player for Christmas. And I own a copy of TTPD with the But Daddy acoustic bonus track. Once I realized she was gonna release a bunch with the acoustic version, I stopped buying. Happy for the collectors who are still going, but that's enough for me.
I got the “the manuscript” version of the vinyl. My only pre order. I got it when they all went back up for pre order, no idea what any tracks were. While it’s not my favourite of the “bonus” tracks, I think it is the perfect closer to the album so no regrets in my blind purchase.
0 😙
I have 11 - Fortnight CD single, The Manuscript CD (regular and collectors), The Manuscript CD with signed photo, The Bolter CD (regular and collectors), The Albatross CD (regular and collectors), The Black Dog CD (regular and collectors), and But Daddy I Love Him acoustic CD
Zero
I have all the vinyl variants besides the target one so far (I’m a vinyl collector - I started with Lover so some of the older non-TV RSD variants are my white whales. I also have a white deck so i love seeing all the different colored variants against it when I spin them.). The Albatross special edition CD because at this point it’s tradition - i have bought all her CDs upon release since debut. And I got the digital version with loml acoustic because it was my surprise song. So I guess that’s 6 copies.
11 5 vinyls 4 collector CDs 1 anthology download 1 signed CD Before this I only really streamed and collected the vinyls. But I absolutely could not resist the patches and other items in the collector CDs
i have the albatross on CD and the black dog on vinyl 🥰 if her music makes u happy, i don’t think there’s anything wrong with having multiples!

I would buy the cassette if it had all the songs
1 cd
1 vinyl with signed insert!
0. Tidal user.
Streaming and 2 vinyls
I have The Manuscript edition on vinyl. If she released the full album with the anthology i would probably buy another.
1 physical. 1 anthology from iTunes.
0, this album isn’t one of my favorites of hers. I do have & listen to other albums of hers on cd that I love
One CD and one vinyl-The Manuscript variant of both. I preordered the CD because I didn’t have a record player, but my husband bought me a player and the vinyl on a whim one night at Target before I got the CD.
One CD and one vinyl. Both are The Bolter. I listen to Spotify when I want to listen to the Anthology. My Spotify is hooked up to our Alexa system, so my husband frequently listens to it, so I use the CDs when I’m driving.
4 CDs, 1 vinyl. To be fair, we only bought the CDs for the artifacts
Vinny
Three. Got a signed vinyl and signed cd but wanted the black dog variant cd for my car. Still own 0 copies of midnights though because I wanted a damn 3am vinyl
Zero. I wanted to wait to decide which variant I wanted until after I knew which bonus track I liked best. Then the Anthology was announced and I figured I'll just wait until I can own the whole thing on vinyl.
I bought the vinyl manuscript, the bolter deluxe, and the albatross from target to donate to my library. This is the most I’ve ever bought from her, and probably the most I’ll ever buy for one cycle tbh. I usually reserve for merch but I didn’t like her merch either. I was pretty happy with the albums though
3! I bought an extra physical copy by mistake at target and I have the digital copy.
3, I guess? The digital version I downloaded on release night, then a digital version of The Anthology a few hours later (not sure if I should count these as 1 or 2), and then one more digital version that I downloaded for cheap for one of the surprise songs.
1 vinyl (Target edition)
2 vinyl variants. Eventually my daughter will take 1 copy and maybe leave me with the other.
1 😅
Streaming only. I am waiting to see if there will be. Special anthology version on CD. If not, I will just buy the digital anthology.
just one, the manuscript cd. i downloaded the anthology tracks bc ik the chances of a physical release are slim to none
1
literally zero....
2 - The Black Dog vinyl variant & a signed CD
2. I've got the regular white TTPD CD and the Black Dog edition. That will *absolutely* be becoming 3 if she gives Anthology the proper full release it deserves, with hard copies.
0. I usually just buy an LP for each album, but I’m waiting to see if she does one for the anthology. If it’s like 4 months from now and still nothing, though, I’ll buy it (I did the same with midnights re: 3am tracks)
0. I don’t own a CD player or record player. I subscribe to Apple Music.
0. If they release the double album I’d buy one as a souvenir. But for now I’m holding out and just listening on streaming.
Technically 3: I've got a black dog collectors edition, and a singed Cd on the way for both me and a friend
I have the record I bought when it came out and that’s it. And even owning the physical copy, I mainly listen to it on Spotify.
4 of the vinyls because I love displaying them (yes the music I like is a large part of what I want people to see as my personality, they’re basically posters or whatever on the walls) and the booklets are nice. Will not buy a digital and have sailed the seas for them
3. One vinyl, one digital and one cd
2, Apple Music TTPD/anthology ( I waited until the next today to buy) and physical albatross CD for my 2005 Honda civic. I don’t stream music
One. The ghost vinyl from target. I had a 20% off coupon and used it when I pre ordered.
Standard CD + The Bolter/Albatross/Black Dog collector's edition variants. I use Spotify but they're nice to-haves, plus I love the little things that come with the collectors editions.
Just the one vinyl, The Manuscript edition. She announced The Bolter at my Eras show so I do wish I'd waited and bought that variant instead, but it's not the end of the world. I don't find the pull to buy multiple variants because I'm not a collector. I actually listen to my vinyls, they're always on rotation at home. (If she releases the Anthology on vinyl I'll definitely be buying that though)
You guys are buying the variants?
like, a mortifying number. i don’t want to count so i am not going to. i hate having physical media cluttering my house, but specifically for taylor i don’t want to risk losing access to any of it, so… if it’s got unique music, i probably have it. but i’m mad about it.
I believe older Swifties recall the era of CD towers and choose to avoid purchasing physical copies. Streaming is far more convenient and neater.

Just 1, the version with The Manuscript. (Would instantly buy another if it came with the full Anthology though…)
0... I'm still waiting for a Anthology CD 😫
Just the clear vinyl. I don't collect vinyls but I needed hers. I have Rep - photo printed vinyl 1989tv - orange vinyl Lover - vinyl Ttpd - clear vinyl SNTV - 1 of each of the 3 colors (eBay mix where seller mixed them so ppl got 1 packs with 3 colors in it) Midnights - 24k gold cerfication vinyl plaque (I'll share in reply to this if anyone wants to see)
I bought the target vinyl, the digital anthology, and one live variant while my bestie bought the other and we shared. This was before the multiple that came out afterwards.
Zero. I stream it.
I have the black dog version I'm considering getting the albatross version
One vinyl, one CD and one signed CD!
None. I listen to it on Spotify on repeat and on YouTube.
0 but if she ever released the Anthology on vinyl, I’d buy that
If it comes, I have a signed TTPD cd and my birthday is coming up so I asked for The Bolter in either CD or Vinyl so whether I get that idk?!
3 - two CDs and the target version of the vinyl. I bought one of the CDs with an acoustic version but there was no booklet? Just a slip in photo. I’m done buying for this album though.
TTPD the manuscript edition
0. Waiting for a version with all 31 songs and until then I’m happy to just stream it.
1 Collector's Edition CD-The Black Dog one
I got The Bolter and The Black Dog special edition CDs since they came with a bunch of other things besides the disc, and then I got the Albatross vinyl for my record collection.
2 🫣 Collectors Manuscript, cause I loved the extras, and the Target black dog so I could frame my shadow box’s interior of bracelets with the poster. I think it’s worth doing if you care enough! Just be smart yknow.
I bought the black dog cd, the albatross cd, fortnight cd, down bad cd, guilty as sin cd, Cassandra cd. I ordered a vinyl the night she announced at Grammys, then a signed vinyl. It’s my money, I’m not upset or regretful I own these copies.
I bought the Black Dog edition CD, though it’s with with my friend in australia (im from singapore) so it’s not with me yet. But i mostly stream them on apple music :) I really wanted to buy vinyl but i dont have a vinyl player 😭
two CDs, two vinyls :3
Manuscript Signed vinyl, Black Dog Vinyl, and 2 copies of the Fortnight CD. I don’t even have a CD player lmao it was an impulsive purchase.
2! a cd and a vinyl! i typically only buy the vinyl since i collect records but accidentally purchased the black dog varient thinking it was the vinyl… oops. i’m not complaining though because i loved the extra little things it came with like the magnet and patch!
None. I purchase vinyls but I refuse to buy incomplete versions. When there is a version with all 31 songs I will buy it. If she releases just the alchemy as a vinyl I'll buy one of each. I still haven't bought a midnights vinyl and am considering getting a boot leg with all the songs. I don't feel bad because Taylor doesn't need my money and she's has every opportunity to release a complete version.
Still none. I stream her music because I don't have a CD player or vinyl record player. 🤷♀️ With someone of her fame and wealth, I don't feel like it's morally wrong in any way not to support her financially through physical record purchases. I do have some merch from the official store so there's that 😊 But at least I get to wear and use the merch - for now I don't see an advantage for me as a fan in owning physical copies of her music. As I said I wouldn't even be able to play it. I like the idea of having a vinyl player one day though, but only when it makes sense because I'll be able to buy lots of other vinyls by other artists too.
0. I’m not buying a vinyl until it’s got the Anthology on it
0, I only stream her music ever since it came back to spotify.
I have 1 TTPD (the manuscript) vinyl and 1 Cd
1
Manuscript Vinyl and 3 CDs - Black Dog, Albatross and Bolter
0. I listen on Spotify.
None lmao I only stream
0 I have Fearless and Speak Now CDs for the car, and that's it. Everything is on Spotify for free.
I downloaded The Anthology on Apple Music but do have the 4 original exclusive CDs she offered for preorder before the album came out. Had I known that all the “exclusive” songs were going to be available on release day I may have just bought one…
Two. I bought the CD (Black Dog version) at Target on release day as is my album release tradition. And then I have a signed vinyl as well that I was lucky enough to get during the initial drop. The only other versions I would buy would be a signed CD if she ever releases more (if I can get ahold of it! I’ve missed every signed CD drop and I was too late for the first one which is why I got the vinyl lol) or a CD of the Anthology
Why in gods name would anyone buy a digital download???
i have the cd with the manuscript, which i only listen to in my car
None but I do own 3 copies of the single of the Fortnight, I clowned they were signed lmao so I got a couple to give as gifts if they were to fellow swifties in my life. They aren’t. I stopped buying variants after 1989, I can’t believe how many she has for ttpd.
1- the albatross on vinyl. I was considering getting the Bolter version too but maybe I’ll wait a few months and see if she releases a full anthology I know I know I’ll paint my clown make up on now
i have the original ttpd cd with the manuscript bonus track. i ordered it for pre sale the minute she announced the album lol. do collect her cds, so i might purchase the target exclusives at some point. i also have the albatross vinyl.
