00:00Taylor Swift slammed as greedy for releasing multiple versions of underwhelming new album.

00:06Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of a Showgirl, is surprisingly not getting the glowing reception

00:12that her previous albums have gotten, with some Reddit users describing it as underwhelming,

00:17forgettable, disappointing, overhyped, boring, and terrible, among other things.

00:23Swifties and non-Swifties alike are slamming the 35-year-old anti-hero hitmaker as greedy

00:29and disrespectful for the way she rolled out the album, as she has offered a dizzying

00:34array of different vinyl and CD versions to encourage diehard fans to buy them all to access

00:40every single piece of exclusive content.

00:44This isn't the first time the newly engaged Lavender Hayes singer has released multiple

00:48limited edition vinyls, but fans are especially frustrated this time because they're not as

00:53impressed with the 12-track, The Life of a Showgirl album.

00:57A total of 24 different variants had been available for pre-order, with the vinyls coming

01:02in different colors, different cover artwork, and exclusive extras like a unique handwritten

01:07poem by Taylor.

01:09She also announced 4 additional CDs with exclusive acoustic tracks and extras not on the standard

01:15album.

01:16It's certainly a clever marketing trick, but one which her fans didn't think Taylor, a literal

01:22billionaire, needed.

01:24I feel comfortable saying this is one of the most disgusting and anti-art practices any

01:29artist could make, and it's terrible that the one doing it is one of the most popular

01:33artists in the world slammed one fan on X.

01:37This shouldn't be acceptable.

01:39The same fan wrote in another message.

01:41It's honestly heartbreaking to see art reduced to pure profit like this.

01:54It's the music equivalent of in-app purchases, an exercise in seeing how much money you can

02:00squeeze out of consumers using the same item.
