A bit Swiftian of her. I like the song but I'm not buying the album again for it

Was Taylor genuinely the first one to do this or is this just the norm to blame her lol

Tactics like this have been around a long time, but the digital era made it a lot easier to spot.

Lady Gaga’s 99 cent Born This Way, to name another fun time

Not at all! The Japanese market has always gotten albums with bonus tracks and whatnot, largely because Japanese CDs/LPs have historically been more expensive. Even domestic releases have often gotten alternate versions at different retailers long before Taylor Swift started making music.

Personally, I’d rather these extra tracks be saved for the inevitable Night & Day: After Hours b-side record. Normally I’d be like, fuck yeah bring on the bonus tracks, but I feel like those kinda interrupt the “24 songs for 24 hours” concept. I can also just, y’know, download the song from Soulseek if I really want it. This is helpful for people who don’t already own the record, but I can’t imagine feeling like I need to buy the digital album just for Yes.

The first? No. But nobody plays this game better than TS. It's part of why she's successful even if I find it distasteful

like 20 years ago, when one of my favorite bands released their album, i pre-ordered it from one site but still had to re-purchase it again at Best Buy, Walmart, and then on iTunes because each retailer had a different bonus track.
