This feels more like some misogyny at play. “The little girl won’t fight us!” The back catalog was a dead asset the minute Taylor said she was going to re-record them. The leverage she gained with the streaming services might have them promoting her new versions over the originals. That’s truly going to hit the bottom…

It’s difficult to understand how

Have these people not been following her career since she’s been 14???

That’s also a good route to being a starving artist. 

I nearly threw up when I read the quote that starts “To extract maximum value from music assets...”

Next time I’m buying stereo equipment, Taylor’s Version albums are going to be my reference material. The dynamic range on these records is so wide, it’s clear they were mastered for private on-demand listening, not radio. Really lovingly produced, beautiful recordings.

Taylor Swift continues be such a fascinating person and I mean that in the most respectful way possible.

In addition to this, the new release versions are pretty definitively seen as the superior recordings.

Embarrassing is absolutely the right world for underestimating her.

Can we all agree that the UK tabloids are some of the trashiest fucking papers on Earth? Not excusing the American tabloids. Just pointing out how they can be so goddamned insensitive as to defend a fucking molester creep like Andrew.

I have a counterpoint to it anyway.

Quick! It’s time for another racist hit piece on Meghan!

To paraphrase the Onion, I’m surprised they’re not blaming Meghan Markle. 

“Most people can only dream of the sums of money” that Prince Andrew was simply born into by grace of an antiquated system, and obtained from taxpayers and plundered, colonized countries around the world.
 

Right I have a friend who fell into a wood chipper and it jammed and he was ok. That’s not a logical reason to start shoving people into a wood chipper or to be less cautious around wood chippers.

I’ve heard this argument before (“I know a child who gave birth to another child, and it turned out fine!”) and it literally makes me nauseous. 

It doesn’t matter whether it happened or not, because a single case is not representative of the whole. It’s just one instance, and most likely an outlier, at that.

Exactly. And in these people’s minds, “immoral behavior” means having sex, or at least having sex that they don’t approve of.

If he came by his position honestly, I could at least respect that. If abortion is murder, then all abortions are murder.

They got advanced degrees? I thought that was a bad thing for these hate-filled mouthbreathers.
