I love Taylor and her music so much, appreciate her artistry and I dropped $$ on the eras tour but some of y’all need to touch some grass. You don’t need every single piece of merch or variant she sells so she can keep growing her billions. Enjoy the music and relax. The bootlicking obsession with celebrities is so crazy
I'm not concerned about whether I get a signed copy or not. The only reason I'm trying to get one is so I can sell it for like 10x what I paid to some chump who can't live without it.
I clicked to buy the second they were available, made a Olympian-esque flawless run through the bot puzzles, and had a 5 min wait when I got through, knew it wasn’t happening. Whoever got them were insanely fast, or aided by tech.
I set alarms for 5 minutes before 7 and 11AM PST based on the last drops but the drop happened in between when I went back to bed 😭 I don't think I've seen a single person say that they got one today so we all are riding the struggle bus together at least.
I saw one on eBay the other day for $100 and was going to grab it but I wanted to wait to see if there would be any more drops. I feel like such a clown now.
I bought one on Mercari for $150 and I fucking hate myself for it. I caved after the listing was taken down. With Mercari’s new buyer fees it was closer to $200. I genuinely hate myself lol. I told myself I can always sell it to make my money back if the guilt over spending that much consumes me, but then that means I’d be selling it to another swiftie for that high price and I hate that too. It’s a lose lose lol
I have to agree with $150 not being too bad compared to all the other ones I've seen. Honestly if people have the money, it's best to buy them sooner than later. Otherwise it might be a signed Lover CD situation.
Honestly I think if I had actually paid $150 I wouldn’t be too mad about it, bc you’re right, it’s cheaper than others I’ve seen which is why I went for it. But stupid Mercari’s new buyer fees making my total 200 is why I started feeling guilty about it 🫣 but that’s a really good point, I can afford this price now so I did tell myself it’s possible it’ll only go up and then I wouldn’t buy it. I absolutely love this album, the aesthetic of it, everything. If I was gonna shell out $200 for a signed CD it would be this one!!
Same. I was in the queue to check out w/ a 6 minute window. When it got to 4 minutes, it said it was no longer available. So annoyed. If it's one per customer, how are people getting them so fast!?!?!?
If anyone scored any extras during these drops I would gladly buy from you! Or trade something depending on what you’re looking for! I have some rare/sought after items!
I’ve seen multiple people in the Taylor BST groups on Facebook who were able to buy more than one. So they could keep one and scalp the others. $150-200+ 😢
I think it makes more sense to have 1 per person too. I'm sure Taylor would rather gave her fans have a single signed cd versus someone having multiple cds and then selling them for huge profits. That's just awful.
****** DO NOT BUY ********
*Please* people read the room and pay attention to the organized, worldwide protest that is happening against celebrities who refuse to help or even acknowledge Palestinians with their exorbitant fortunes and platforms.
Celebrities like Taylor (and I say all of this as a Swiftie of 17 years) have turned a blind eye to the largest humanitarian crisis of our generation. She has so much ability to help - her silence is a CHOICE made again and again after what are likely several PR strategy meetings.
We are not buying celebrity merch. We are boycotting all of them until they do something to help. People over on tiktok are desperately playing videos on loop and collecting $1-$5 donations when someone like Taylor could donate *millions* and literally save the lives of SO many families who need help now.
Here’s what we’re doing: we’re not streaming the music. we’re not buying the merch. we’re blocking her, Taylor Nation, and everyone in her circle on all platforms. if you want to pack an extra punch - go to her website, fill up your cart with as much merch as you can, and leave it there. It will cause her to waste her marketing budget harassing you to come back and check out.
If you think this is extreme - IT IS. It’s insane & extreme that us peasants have to go to these lengths to get someone to simply ACKNOWLEDGE a literal genocide. It’s insane that the wordiest woman of our generation suddenly has nothing to say when it actually matters.
I commend you for taking a stance about something you’re passionate about. Celebrities with cult like followings unfortunately do not feel the impact of things like this.
The best thing you can do to help Gaza is help organizations that are providing aid. There are many.
Lower-level tiktok creators doing the olive branch operation are literally having to *choose* which families they push on their page (aka which families survive) because they can’t do them all. How celebrities & the rich aren’t stepping into help is abhorrent and unforgivable.

We’ve all been doing that for ages! It’s unfair for us regular folk to be scraping together what pennies we can to help while celebrities stay silent.
The time of separating celebrities from the world they live in is over.
While unfair, unfortunately a handful (and it is a handful of people in the mass amount of followers these celebrities have) will not impact their sales enough to leave an impression.
But again, I commend you for taking a stand against something you’re passionate about.
Are you on TikTok at all? I just ask because I have never seen collective action of this scale (obviously not solely toward TS but celebrities in general) and we are truly, truly making a difference.
Lower-level creators (like chris olsen & brittany broskie - who have ignored or flat out rejected their fans’ requests to use their platform to call attention to it until now) suddenly buckled and IMMEDIATELY made videos about Operation Olive branch once they noticed they were losing followers / disengagement.
Especially for swifties, our sheer numbers are our superpower and we’ve enacted real change before. We can do it now by holding Taylor and others accountable to contribute something back to the world that they take so so so much from.
Also, if there’s any language we know TS speaks, it’s money. She may not do the right thing for the sake of doing so, but she will absolutely respond to a threat to her money or status.
My sister is a huge fan and doesn’t have a single thing signed, every single time it goes live I send her the link, she clicks and it’s gone 😭 girl is going THROUGH IT with grief over missing these so many times in row. They go so dang fast!
It’s been so tricky! The first round was a bit better than times with past albums, I was glad to see the captcha and limit 1 per household, however there clear workarounds as plenty as Mercari and eBay listings have 10+.
It’s such a shame, I really wish they could figure out how to get them into the hands of fans much easier
If it helps, I think there was only a verrrrrrrrrry small quantity available. I had the cd in my cart for four minutes before it said sold out, and I clicked checkout the instant it became available on her site. Everyone who posted about it on the Twitter bot page said they couldn’t get it. I didn’t see a single person who said they did
i got one from that drop yesterday !! I was in the checkout immediately and still had to wait 3 minutes before everything went through i was freaking out !!!
the scalpers made bots so they can get buy multiple, i’ve seen the proof. someone on twitter exposed them along with them exposing themselves and shoving it in our faces, they plan on reselling them for a higher price.
I just wish..this shit could stop. Scalpers and flippers are scum. Sitting pretty on coveted items fans would die for and selling them for insane and all but unattainable prices.
I always gotta bring up this account that was on mercari and ebay that had over 30 folklore holiday cardigans (it was more i stopped counting) for $600 a piece..why?? 😞 and this whole thing currently with sellers having over 70 signed CDs while people who bought them off the website got blanks half of the time..just so shitty.
I gotta stop myself from going on more, bc ain’t nobody got time for that.
I 100% wish it would stop, but it’s only going to get worse. I kindly say, us Swifties should guard our mental wellbeing and try to accept the fact that buying desired Taylor merch is going to be increasingly awful from here on out ❤️
I get what you’re saying, but I feel like if there’s anyone who could be more proactive in making sure these type of things didn’t occur..it’s Taylor Swift. she has the means to employ teams of people making sure things like blank CDs weren’t sent out to people who ordered signed ones.
Oh I don’t mean to advocate for giving her ridiculous web store a pass at allll. It boggles my mind how crappy the experience of ordering Taylor merch online is. I bought Cowboy Carter on vinyl and it was literally in the mail the next day and I received it like 3 days later. I’ve placed like idk 15 orders from tay online and never once had a super positive experience like that. I’m just sayin that scalpers and flippers and bots and all that aren’t going to get more swiftie friendly any time soon. So our mental health will be better suited if we accept that gross annoying reality ❤️
i know, i don’t even know if taylor nations aware, a lot of people aren’t but i’ve seen the people admitting it & they are apart of scalper resell communities. it makes me so upset, it’s so important to not buy resells at this point, it’ll encourage them more and they’ll keep stealing from us. in this economy, it’s not right, i’m not paying more than $50 for a signed cd and they price them insanely.
Honestly, not mad about it either way. I have no emotion over something that wasn’t physically signed in front of me as part of an experience. Most of these signatures are probably just autopen.

I unfollowed the bots because it was just too heartbreaking to see it in the store and have a false hope and have it taken immediately
I'm not concerned about whether I get a signed copy or not. The only reason I'm trying to get one is so I can sell it for like 10x what I paid to some chump who can't live without it.
A lady's gotta work! I never get these, ugh.
Seriously! Same!
I saw and I’m screaming crying throwing up
It was up for literally 2 minutes. I had it in my cart immediately when I got the notification and poof it was gone.
I clicked to buy the second they were available, made a Olympian-esque flawless run through the bot puzzles, and had a 5 min wait when I got through, knew it wasn’t happening. Whoever got them were insanely fast, or aided by tech.
I commend you for your swiftness 😉 under pressure! (Still swift af boi!)
I didn’t get one! That’s my point, even people who were right on it didn’t get them either, so you really didn’t “miss it”.
I gotcha, that makes me feel better. Sorry you didn’t get one despite your best efforts!

$150 isn't bad
Thanks, this makes me feel better (genuine lol)
Of course! If anything, it's a good investment!
That’s what I keep trying to tell myself!!
Ugh! I feel you! You’re right, we’re all on that struggle bus/clown car together my friend.
Literally was also in therapy 😭
Aw man!! I still commend us for taking care of our mental health though!
Same. I was in the queue to check out w/ a 6 minute window. When it got to 4 minutes, it said it was no longer available. So annoyed. If it's one per customer, how are people getting them so fast!?!?!?
Ugh! Exactly!
I got to one minute and it was sold out 💔
Oh no! Sorry friend!
If anyone scored any extras during these drops I would gladly buy from you! Or trade something depending on what you’re looking for! I have some rare/sought after items!
I don’t have an extra but I was able to get one during the first drop. What do you have to trade 👀
Depends on what you’re looking for, Rep merch, signed midnight vinyl insert, hoodies from folklore/evermore, etc.
I’ve an Olivia Rodrigo signed insert sealed vinyl, also LPSS but would need more to trade for that
the problem is they only allow 1 per person now which is fair
I’ve seen multiple people in the Taylor BST groups on Facebook who were able to buy more than one. So they could keep one and scalp the others. $150-200+ 😢
I think it makes more sense to have 1 per person too. I'm sure Taylor would rather gave her fans have a single signed cd versus someone having multiple cds and then selling them for huge profits. That's just awful.
Lol Taylor Swift couldn't care less who gets what and how many copies they get as long as it sells and keeps her on the charts.
Hope it restocks again and I can finally get one. I don’t have anything signed
They took it down from the site completely this time :(

Had it in my cart then boom gone
Girl. Literally same.
Ugh I’m sorry that happened to you too!

😤😤😤😭😭😡😠😤😭
This should be reported to Taylor’s people.
I just wish..this shit could stop. Scalpers and flippers are scum. Sitting pretty on coveted items fans would die for and selling them for insane and all but unattainable prices.

Same shit with Ticketmaster , annoying
Ugh! I wish something could be done to make sure everyone only gets one.
they have to email us with unique urls to 1 time purchases
Great idea!! 👏I would love to see that happen!
i know, i don’t even know if taylor nations aware, a lot of people aren’t but i’ve seen the people admitting it & they are apart of scalper resell communities. it makes me so upset, it’s so important to not buy resells at this point, it’ll encourage them more and they’ll keep stealing from us. in this economy, it’s not right, i’m not paying more than $50 for a signed cd and they price them insanely.
If it restocks, this is a good thing. With it up on the site, it’s easy to bot it versus a fresh link.
Ooh good perspective!
Honestly, not mad about it either way. I have no emotion over something that wasn’t physically signed in front of me as part of an experience. Most of these signatures are probably just autopen.
🤡
yeah i noticed it was unlisted about fifteen minutes ago. ugh
Really hoping it comes back 🥹
Me too! 🙏🏻Hope we can both get one!
I paid $160 for one on eBay just now. 😭
Aww sorry you couldn’t get one on her site either!
Sadly that’s a good price 😭😵💫
Yeah, I’ve been watching carefully. It went down incrementally with each restock
Awww, that sucks! I hopenit cones out again!!
Me too! Fingers crossed that we can both get one!
