    Big fans of T, my daughters are really into her and I've been a fan for awhile. Have struggled to get around her newest record a bit, only because its such a departure, but I'll get there.

    I have not listened to either of the new records but I do enjoy her hits.  To me she is the Madonna of the 21st Century without Madonna's behavior.  Like Madonna just a ton of hits that will be around for a long time.  Give her so much credit for writing her own stuff and performing live. Super talented even if not into her music.

    Excellent album. I have become a bona-fide TS fan in the past couple of years.

    It might be better than Folklore

    I think Folklore is a little better, but these are put together like two great bookends.

    I'm in the same boat. Folklore has some bigger pop moments, making it a bit more fun. but this album is fantastic. I'd probably put both in my top 10 for the year.

    I think it’s too early to tell. Just starting to get a feel for the new album. At the moment still like folklore more but that could change. 

    Also finally received my folklore vinyl today.

    I bought "1989" on vinyl a few years ago (had to special order at a local record store at the time as it was not readily available) and just ordered two colored versions of Folklore off her website that have already shipped. They were also selling signed versions of her Folklore CD on sale for only $13 so picked up one of those. Only thing I didn't like is that digital downloads are not available on any of the physical purchases but I'll live.

    Thanks for the tip! Bought an autographed copy too. Surprised they were still available. I thought I read that she dropped random autographed copies into the racks at stores when the last album came out, and that madness ensued in the search for a copy. Could you imagine what it would be like here if 10C sold EV-signed copies of a CD??

    Still haven't heard evermore yet. Seems like it will be in stores this Friday?

    Glad you got one. Yeah, when the album first dropped in July/August, autographed copies arrived without notice at independent record stores and sold out immediately. Of course, they quickly appeared on ebay for over $300. Then, she flooded the market by offering them on her website for $25 and they now, they go on ebay for barely over $30. But now she has dropped them even lower to $13 for the holidays so even better! And yeah, Evermore is in stores this Friday. No, I can't imagine what an Eddie signed CD would go for!

    Discogs shows numerous vinyl pressings for folklore...can someone clue me in to what I should seek. Never been a fan, but love it. The new one is slower growing, but good as well

    https://store.taylorswift.com/collections/in-the-trees-music/products/1-the-in-the-trees-edition-deluxe-vinyl

    or you can get the Target exclusive

    https://www.target.com/p/taylor-swift-folklore-target-exclusive-vinyl/-/A-81462583

    The other version you see on Discogs were the Limited Edition versions that were sold on Taylor's website for a limited time. They're the same, except different color vinyl and different covers. There are 8 versions + the Target version total I think.
