Totally agree 👇🏼

(Variety reported in August 2025; 11 different CD versions, 8 vinyl editions and a variety of exclusive digital download versions. No idea what the overall count is now)

~negative Taylor Swift opinion~

The non-stop and unnecessary variants creates a really gross precedent that record companies are going to mimic with other musicians and it’s predatory to consumers and fans. The one album is clearly enough. You’re a billionaire.

Love me an out of season autumn staycation spa. Free spiced rum in an upgraded room too. Cheers 🥂✨🥰

Serving trolley. On top is a clear decanter of free rum. Alongside 2 highball glasses, and 2 beautiful pineapple shaped cocktail glasses with straws. Yum!

Perspective photo of me looking down at my lovely cooked breakfast on the table.

My boyfriend smiling sitting on top of my luggage. Pleased as punch with the free upgrade.

Only joking - that’s not my boyfriend. It’s a cuddly toy of Wario and a miniature dog.

Smaller political parties rarely generate enough funds for campaigning + seeing the volume of sign ups did sway me into handing over a membership fee; I’ll admit a protest donation against Labour, if you will, as a former disabled activist for Labour feeling disillusioned with it all.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
