I thought the version you were referring to was the "Late Night" edition, which only exists (for now) as an exclusive CD sold at shows (not digital yet)...the one sold on TS store is the Til Dawn version:

(i.e. the one that has the additional bonus tracks that were originally Target exclusives). This one does have Paris and Glitch (based on the cover, at least), plus everything else, and it's cheaper than the 3am version:

See, now my head hurts.  :lol :lol

I can't keep all of this straight.  I just stockpile them in my iTunes under the Midnights label and make it easy on myself.

Haha.  Only three cities left on the US tour, and it is a shame to see it coming to an end.  It has been a fun tour to follow on Twitter to see what the surprise songs are each weekend and what funny little moments happen.  I enjoyed this past weekend where she accidently sang "myspace" instead of "my face" in the Bejeweled bridge, and you could then hear her trying not to laugh at herself for the next 5-10 seconds while continuing to sing. :lol :lol

Bought Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). I’ve never heard the original album so I went in totally blind and I really enjoyed it. I don’t think I’d even heard Enchanted before, but now it’s probably my favorite of her songs, it’s an absolutely fantastic song!

Apparently the bonuses cover over $55 million USD for everyone. Jeez

https://people.com/taylor-swift-gives-bonuses-totaling-55-million-every-person-working-eras-tour-7568556

I read that her current tour is projected to earn $1.4 Billion USD becoming the highest tour earnings and the first to cross the Billion mark.

Some Miami dates added too, which apparently you can start buying tickets next Wednesday for shows 14 months away. Wow.

I got waitlisted for the Miami shows. Checked on stubhub, nosebleeds are going for min $1k. Guess my 8 year is not going to be seeing her next year.

She's really pumping them out one after another, isn't it?

Anyway, it makes sense. They're re-recordings, they're not brand new albums, no need to take 5 years or more to do it, especially since the whole point is to actually earn profits from these albums.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

And all she has left now are her name and her reputation!!!  :) :) :)

(The only two albums she hasn't re-recorded are her debut, "Taylor Swift" and "Reputation").

I'm really pumped for 1989; that's my favorite album of hers, and I think "Wildest Dreams" and "New Romantics" are two of her best songs. 

Harry Styles just followed her on Instagram (this info is fresh from my daughter) so there are rumblings that he's on there somewhere (many of the songs on 1989 are allegedly about him).

I am pretty sure I’d never heard of Harry Styles or their relationship until long after that album was out.

So, a while back, my daughter started playing Taylor Swift's songs around the house. I gotta admit, at first I was kinda skeptical – I mean, I'm a middle-aged guy and I've always been into rock and stuff like that.

But you know what? Slowly but surely, Taylor's music started growing on me. The more I listened, the more I realized just how talented she is. The way she weaves stories into her songs is something else. It's like she's able to capture feelings and experiences that resonate with people of all ages.

And you know what album really did it for me? "Folklore." Man, that album is a whole vibe. The mellow tunes, the introspective lyrics – it's just a masterpiece. It's crazy how music can bring generations together. Here I am, jamming out to Taylor Swift alongside my daughter, and it's become this little bonding thing for us.

So yeah, consider me a fan now. Never thought I'd say that about a pop artist, but Taylor's music has a way of breaking down barriers.

i was actually vibing really hard with this until i saw her live a few weeks ago. i found her on-stage persona to be really fake in a cringey way. i'm not trying to troll or anything, i am a pretty decent fan of her music, i loved folklore + evermore, etc. ever since the show though i haven't had much of a desire to listen to her because i found her stage antics pretty off-putting

This.   My kid and I were already close, but this brought us together, and was a real bonding thing between her and her step mother.   The three of us regularly "trade" music now, and it's fun.

i don't have a kid so i can't relate, but there are definitely a lot of taylor swift songs that transcend generations. my recent live experience reservations aside, this is well put.

That's so nice Stadler! So far, it's been just Taylor Swift that's been the common musical ground for me and my daughter. However, I'm hoping to broaden our horizons a bit and explore some new genres and artists together. While my daughter hasn't been into music like Dream Theater and other rock/metal bands in the past, I think that the door is now open for us to discover more shared interests in music which is very cool.

I don't know if it will work for you, but one thing that helped open the door was when "her" bands/artists - like Taylor but also bands like One Direction and Panic! At The Disco - would do covers, I would ask her to listen to the originals.   Swift did a version of "Drops of Jupiter" live, and I love that song, so we listened to the Train version.  P!ATD did a Queen cover, so we listened to some Queen.  One Direction did a song that sounded just like "Changes" by David Bowie, so we listened to some Bowie.   I forget, but somehow she heard "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac, so we listened to Rumours, and she fell in love with it (it's one of her favorite albums now). 

Whatever way works for you; I wasn't trying to get her to like my music - I don't "pick" what I like, so I can't imagine it's different for her - just expose her to as much music as possible and let her decide what she wants to listen to.

It was such a bitch to get tickets for those too lol. At least these would cost a lot less and my daughter can listen in some great surround sound.

There are a ridiculous amount of screenings in my city for those three days. I wouldn't be surprised if they added more shows.

that’s a pretty quick turnaround on this thing , I remember hearing some shows had more cameras than usual and she used the same costumes all 3 or 4 nights but that was towards the end of the US tour.

I just counted, she has about a 100 screenings for Friday and then 145 screenings on Sat and probably another 145 on Sun. That's just insane and a lot of them show as sold out already. Madness.
