i looked at tickets for the “showgirl party” but like…nah man. even if i wasn’t disillusioned by taylor, even if this was back when i loved her, i’d have a really hard time paying for this when it’s supposed to be free. seeing it on the big screen would be cool, i’m not pretending it wouldn’t be, but it’s not worth that money for what it is. and definitely i wouldn’t pay for it now, i already sorta dislike that i give in and buy her albums but i’m allowed to find joy in music even when it’s made by a problematic person.
the money grabs are so much worse than they’ve ever been. locking content behind an itunes preorder (NOBODY buys music from itunes, people do use apple music and stream but literally no one is actually buying from there) is also a wild choice.
