00:00Taylor Swift slammed as greedy and anti-art for selling multiple versions of her underwhelming

00:05life of a showgirl album, apparently being a billionaire isn't enough.

00:10Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of a Showgirl, is surprisingly not getting the glowing reception

00:16that her previous albums have gotten, with some Reddit users describing it as underwhelming,

00:22forgettable, disappointing, overhyped, boring, and terrible, among other things.

00:29And she has also angered fans with the strategic multiple releases for the album.

00:34Swifties and non-Swifties alike are slamming the 35-year-old anti-hero hitmaker as greedy

00:41and disrespectful for the way she rolled out the album, as she has offered a dizzying array

00:45of different vinyl and CD versions to encourage die-hard fans to buy them all, to access every

00:52single piece of exclusive content.

00:55A total of 24 different variants had been available for pre-order ahead of its official

01:00release, with the vinyls coming in different colors and featuring different artwork on the

01:04cover.

01:06To sweeten the deal, or to squeeze more money out of fans, whichever way you look at it, each

01:11vinyl also included exclusive extras, such as a unique handwritten poem by Taylor that

01:17wasn't available anywhere else.

01:19The Grammy winner also told her fans that she was releasing four additional CDs, each

01:24containing different exclusive acoustic tracks and extras that aren't included on the standard

01:30album.

01:31I feel comfortable saying this is one of the most expletive, disgusting and anti-art practices

01:37any artist could make, and it's terrible that the one doing it is one of the most popular

01:42artists in the world.

01:43The utter greediness is just shameful.

01:46This shouldn't be acceptable, slammed one fan on X.

01:50Another said, it's the music equivalent of in-app purchases, an exercise in seeing how

01:56much money you can squeeze out of consumers using the same item.
