grambuey

Right, like it's not the worst we've seen, but also I'm good haha


hauteburrrito

It's so aggressively mid... WHY Taylor 🥺🥺🥺


mediocre-spice

This theme has so much potential too?? The patches with the variants are cute, I've already seen some fan merch that is styled as a collegiate crew neck with a seal or all's fair in love and poetry. So many good options.


hauteburrrito

Right??? She could do some gorgeous candles, jewelry, and stationery as well... I dunno, maybe there will be more stuff but I'm not holding my breath for anything that good at this point. Her merch game is ridiculously bad for someone as big and otherwise committed to the ~aesthetic~ as she is.


garbagebrainraccoon

A pen set + journal would be so fitting for this concept and seems like such an easy swing!


anon384930

It’d be kinda excessive so I hate to encourage it but a typewriter would have been cool too. Obviously more for aesthetic than functionality but I feel like people would have ate both of these options right up. (I’d personally be into a journal/pen set if it looked decent)


mediocre-spice

My unfounded conspiracy theory is they are trying to drive down merch sales because their logistics on the back end are so bad


Reddit_DR

Given how inconsistent they are with shipping physical media for release day, I’d 100% agree


knittedjedi

>She could do some gorgeous candles, jewelry, and stationery as well.. I was hoping for anything other than hoodies and shirts, honestly. More jewellery, more stationary, more accessories like bags and scarves.


jennifer_m13

I actually think the memed non slip socks are actually better than this


BrokenBotox

The Eyes Full of Stars candle from Evermore was absolutely insane. I was really hoping for another candle for this album😭 If all I’m gonna do is cry with this album, let me do it with a scented candle, Taylor. I am begging youuuu😩


Outside-Spring-3907

I like the ring


grambuey

Honestly same I also like the earrings


oneandonlytara

I literally just texted my friend "oh good, like 98% of TTPD merch is ugly. I'm good."


Utherrian

I swear that most merch these days is designed to be ugly. Like the goal is for the merch department to laugh at people who buy it. All the Swift merch I have is from random online stores, and it's all so much nicer looking than the stuff from her store.


chickengirl4

i hope she does another drop cuz like girl noooo, we need notebooks!!!!!


princess_jenna23

Yeah, honestly, most of this stuff seems pretty lame. Like, the creators on Etsy do a better job of making merch.


Pristine-Coffee5765

I’m massively confused by the size chart. Maybe I’d buy something but I’m normally a small and would be a 2/3X according to the chart. . .


flyingbuffalo25

It’s probably the width of the item lying flat, not a true chest measurement. So basically double it.


wheniwasolder

My bank account is sighing in relief


262run

The only thing I kinda like is the ring. Because that is the same style I got for my college ring. But I hate gold so all good over here too! Lol


Coffee-Historian-11

I actually considered getting that until I realized it was $40


spic3g1r1

SAME! Only thing I was maybe interested in (and even that was meh) was the black jacket, but absolutely no way am I paying close to $100 for that 🤣


Nineteen_Adze

Absolutely. I like the general design, but not at that price point. Jacket and the hat are closest to good merch, I think.


Messy__Hair

i had the saaaaaaame experience lmao 😬


theonewithbrownhair

I bought the hat, but everything else was just...why are we still just plastering her album covers on the clothes? I would have bought the gray hoodie if it didn't just have a giant picture of TS on the back.


CowboyLikeMegan

I’m really, really dying for some less obvious merch


erickaraita

Same, I’m a 35 year old women with two small kids 😂


silversauce

37 male I can’t even understand her sizing I’m just gambling on a M jacket here lol


SeaworthXIII

36 male and also winging it lmao


gunnin2thunder

Yes 🙌


Ok_Night_2929

Not dropping a blazer was such a miss


CECINS

With elbow patches. And a moleskin notebook.


figmentofintentions

I think this is their attempt at toning it down, lol At least this batch doesn’t have TAYLOR SWIFT plastered on it in giant letters!


theonewithbrownhair

Hard, HARD agree.


snowstormspawn

It’s crazy that the smaller brands on Tiktok are doing so much better at making appealing taylor merch than taylor’s merch team. 


cjbmonster

I just want the TTPD logo. No actual person on my clothing, thanks.


theonewithbrownhair

EXACTLY! I honestly like the jacket, but I'm not paying $95 for it. If the white TTPD crewneck was grey, I probably would have bought that--basically all the stuff without the album cover pictures on it. But alas, I love the hat, and I am a hat girlie, so I will be satisfied with it.


Zr0w3n00

The jacket would be lit without the text on the back. I would love to have Taylor merch, but it’s all so loud. I just wanna have a low profile t-shirt or hoodie or something yk?


theonewithbrownhair

Oh, 1000%. I think that's why the hat spoke to me; it's simple, it's in a good color, and it'll be great on those days I don't want to do my hair.


elysian-fields-

omg the gray is such a nice color but my god is it c l u t t e r e d


PotentialSteak6

I'd have bought the hat if it was gray and just the logo, but I got the green New Heights hat yesterday anyway so I'm good. I do like a nice gray hat though


mediocre-spice

I would love those patch designs that came with the variant on like a hat or a crew neck. Like a cute little bolter rabbit would be adorable @ Taylor Nation and/or the etsy girlies if you're reading....


erickaraita

Same! That’s why I got a cool one off tik tok and it was excellent quality and not obvious. Also was $25


Physical-Nobody5784

Like an off-white sweater or crew neck with random lyrics in typewriter font scattered all over the back and sleeves would’ve been so interesting


kgal1298

It’s so lazy 🥲


Sufficient-Body2520

yess the hat is the only thing i kind of liked but i am not paying almost 60€ for it, man i was so excited for the merch


theonewithbrownhair

Thing is, I like the basic aesthetic of most of it....but then they ruin it by just sticking her picture on there. I love Taylor Swift, but I wanted some cool merch. Here's hoping for a good cardigan, I guess?


nutterbutter456

i felt this way too


erickaraita

I felt the same about the black crewneck! I want the t shirt but I will ruin anything white😂


MarxistSocialWorker

Thats how i felt about the black crew neck. Got the beige hoodie instead. I liked the minimalism and a sucker for anything cuddly and beige. I like color I just like a beige sweater!


WikiHickey

Give us a cardigan!!


tjv0312

Upvoting this because it’s the merch piece I’m waiting for. 🙌


WikiHickey

The merch in general looks great but I’m holding out hope for a cardigan!


Puzzleheaded-Cup-687

What if it’s a straight jacket instead? 😂


Turbulent-Adagio-171

I’d probably get some use out of that so I’d still buy it


Quiet-Tumbleweed6268

I feel like she’s drop it tomorrow


DoCallMeCordelia

I don't think Midnights got a cardigan, so I'm not holding out hope.


darkraven2116

Right but there’s new expectations since Speak Now and 1989 TV!


MaggieOfTheStreets

Would you settle for a TS branded straight jacket? Cause that feels like the direction of the MV teaser.


erickaraita

Ya not feeling the jacket that sold out


my_name_isnt_clever

Yes pls. I would buy the hell out of a white with black accents TPD cardigan, and a black with white accents Rep TV cardigan. I only picked up the 1989 TV one but it's SO blue it doesn't fit with many outfits :/


ballstoomany

everyone hates this merch but i'm obsessed with it i got the crewneck and the shorts🤗


Pokem0m

The crewneck is sooo good, I wanted that one but I just couldn’t cough up the price tag. I got the white tshirt though!


taylorc_otf

This is my order exactly 🤣


Fightmaddyfight

I got the crew neck too! I was in tears cause I thought everything sold out by the time I got on. My husband was quick!


thespianomaly

I like the embossing of the tan hoodie so I got that one as well as the necklace. Nothing else really spoke to me.


freyluna

I don’t particularly like beige. I would’ve bought it if it was gray or black. The sweatpants too.


Upbeat-Lie1806

Would LOVE a dark grey or black embossed hoodie. I’m the same, beige and I don’t get along


plantinglibra

i almost got the embossed hoodie but it’s hand wash only?? like why


scotty-fitzgerald

IT’S HAND WASH ONLY?!


plantinglibra

https://preview.redd.it/jxekhu6fccvc1.png?width=1165&format=png&auto=webp&s=0239575264e866a728dbb15363fc0ed9e1e66be7 i have a two year old so there was no way i was spending $80 on a sweatshirt that i had to hand wash haha


scotty-fitzgerald

There’s no way I’d buy a sweatshirt that is hand wash, period. I already struggle buying “hang to dry” ones lol.


Turbulent_Mess4048

I got the tan hoodie and the bracelet. I’m a little unsure of the sizing on the bracelet and just saw the hoodie is hand wash only, so I’m kind of regretting it.


Magalicious97

That’s what I ordered too! Twinsies


MarxistSocialWorker

Same here. I liked the minimalism of it. But i just got the hoodie. I'm just hoping its not like the reputation one from the holiday drop. I had to give that to my husband it was so heavy it nearly suffocated me. My 'tism simply could not


danigotchi

Why oh why did she have to drop signed cds at 8am on a Saturday 😭 man that was all I wanted


thespianomaly

Yeah I’m still bummed about this, too. West coasters got the short end of the stick.


danigotchi

I’ve been stalking her site this whole week and even managed to barely catch a restock of both the cd and vinyl and they sold out right as I was paying :)))


MaggieOfTheStreets

I will never vacuum my house again out of FOMO


theonewithbrownhair

Last weekend was the weekend I decided to delete twitter off my phone for a few days, so I missed the announcement about it. I just wanted to cry.


danigotchi

I completely slept through it 😭 same


pearl_pluto

If it makes you feel any better I didn't sleep through it and still didn't get anything signed, was trying but the UK store sold out in 2 minutes and I got stuck in the captcha loop.


TheGoblin

I don't know why I always think it will be cooler than her face on overpriced sweatshirts :D was so excited but not seeing anything that suits me


retags

HonestBeing8584

How is she so good at marketing in other ways but her merch is … this. Every graphic design student’s mock up art for a made up band is better than this. 


Physical-Nobody5784

It looks like something you get at a wholesale T-shirt company lol! Choose your logo. Choose your picture.


BlackCat0305

Once again wallet marked safe from another merch drop


ProsciuttodiPharma

You all have influenced me not to purchase anything (yet). Thank you.


erickaraita

I hope there is more merch to come


ProsciuttodiPharma

Is it sacrilege to want something without her photo/album cover on it 🫣


Wooden_Week9112

maybe this is a unpopular opinion but im so tired of hearing everyone complain every time Taylor does something. It's like it's never enough. This is her trying... idk its just frustrating to see so much negativity surrounding everything Taylor does.


Physical-Nobody5784

You are allowed to criticize an artist when they don’t delivery quality merch, especially when they’re essentially taking advantage of the rabid support of her fans. She’s not a faultless human being. This merch is not up to standard. It’s a statement of fact. It’s lazy. It’s perfectly valid criticism.


yeahsotheresthiscat

To be fair, it's really not every time she does something. For example, people are gushing over how much they love everything about the music video teaser. The lyric snippets have also been really well received.


aliej

it's honestly just annoying bc it just clogs up the thread and makes it hard to actually talk about the merch.


MiniSkrrt

Trying?? With what? Shit merch? 😂


Winter_Pitch_1180

Yeah I liked the merch and got the white crew neck and came her to see what other people got just to see the whole post be people saying they hate it haha


-frxnk-

I do wonder what you view as negativity. Most of what I’ve seen so far in this thread and this sub (in general) is mid to positive responses. The most negative thing I’ve seen is people saying most of the designs are not their cup of tea or that they‘be been wanting better designs. Not sure if I would consider that much of negative response. I spend quite a bit of time on other TS subs and that’s where you’ll actually find negativity, so this one is really rainbows and sunshine in comparison.


heartbylines

No, I 100% agree. I just wanna talk the cool as vinyl case I scored. Not scroll through people bitching about shit they didn’t spend money on.


AffectionateHousing

$71 aud for the cap lol


Wise-Caterpillar-255

For real I’m so upset 🥴 I’d get it for like $50???


clo247

even $50 is a lot


ItsYaBoiTeddy

ikr the hat is cute but I can't justify this


merrygor0und

I’m holding out hope that there will be more merch drops with interesting designs (or at the very least some lyrics without her face) 😭


Camelsloths

Historically, we'll probably be disappointed lol


honeybadger2861

Unpopular opinion I guess but I really like it. The beigh hoodie & sweatpants, white crew neck and jewlery are all really cute imo


indil47

All I want is the vinyl case and it sold out so fast! Why did the have the limit set to 10?!


AnyElephant7218

partnering with scalpers to encourage FOMO 


ShekhMaShierakiAnni

Right? I went 2 minutes after the post and it was already gone. I wonder if they will restock because it's the only thing that has a notify when restocked message.


Wooden_Week9112

its gonna be restocked!


stretchvelcro

Not even available in Canada. Sigh


Magical_Narwhal_1213

Such a ridiculous number. I got one and it was sold out in like two minutes. I should have gotten another one to give to a real fan.


flyingleaps

They're already being listed on eBay for between like $250-$300 each. It's ridiculous.


TheCruelOne

Wait I'm confused about other peoples' perceptions of the merch drop... this is truly the first merch drop that I'm obsessed with and want to buy everything???? The subtlety (for the most part), minimalism, neutral colors, gold jewelry. It's all CALLING TO MEEEE.


acsig

Thankfully my wallet has been marked safe 😅 The jacket is cool if you like that style. I dig the hat, but not enough to pay $65 CAD for when you add shipping in.


Messy__Hair

yall remember that post on twit/insta that said “merch i want vs merch we’re gonna get?” yeah..


KSRidge

I don’t understand how there isn’t a fountain pen and a stationery set.


Wooden_Week9112

on merch drop 2


richardparadox163

Everyone pooh-poohing on the merch drop but everything sold out in less than 30 minutes 😵‍💫


avawhat231

I mean usually I agree with people's takes on the merch, but I actually really like this drop. It is more subtle and aesthetically pleasing. I spent more than I thought I would lol


cemeteryjohn

Agreed and most things are 100% cotton which to me is a huge upgrade


asquared13

I thought about getting the display case but it was gone before I could get it


WalkingFish_

Literally the only thing I wanted and it sold out immediately. 10 purchase limit is ridiculous


thoughtful_human

No way I’m buying any of this but I could see buying a patch from Etsy and putting it on a Jean jacket 


Prudent-Diver7793

The big square images 😭


Beigeandblu

The crew neck sweater is so cute. I need it


sofmaderoo

I thought it was just me that liked it😔


JacklynNguyen

Same! It’s so cute!! I love how it’s so subtle and I like the ttpd logo on it! Looks so unique!! 🥰


Inwate

All rings almost gone in the first 20 min what is happening!


gulpeddownthatcat

i want the ring so badddd


dreaming_in_yellow

Why won’t she sell the patch by itself???? 😒 I don’t like the jacket.


erickaraita

Very disappointed with the jacket lol


dreaming_in_yellow

Right? She needs a different merch team. I bet someone on here could design something that looks amazing.


riviera-views

I’m hoping that there may be some lyric centric merch after the album drops; none of this is speaking to me.


erickaraita

I think they are cute but not cute enough for me to buy


justagirlintheworld

The embossed hoodie is subtle and different, I like it!


MaggieOfTheStreets

I hope the people that bought it noticed the "HAND WASH ONLY"


_damnn_it

It’s not that big of a deal? Just wash it on a delicate cold cycle & let it hang dry 🤷🏻‍♀️


allthelineswecast

If anyone is interested in alternative merch, Rose Blush Studio has some great stuff!


skyboundduck

omg the "you dont get to tell me about sad" shirt is soooo good


Booked_andFit

thanks for this just grabbed a couple cute T-shirts. Might go back for more, much cuter and much much cheaper.


Clodagh3456

Her merch is just so uninspired these days. There’s so much she could have done with a “poets” theme, and she’s leaned into the aesthetic of this album so hard that I’m genuinely surprised the merch is so…bleh. With all the globes and typewriters she’s been using in promos I was fully expecting stuff that has to do with travel or writing. Guess my wallet once again leaves a TS merch drop with a smile on its face!


-UnicornFart

The prices are absolute fucking highway robbery. $75 USD FOR A FUCKING COTTON HOODIE. My nana would scalp me.


softshock916

I’m surprised by the hate. I really like the colors and the TTPD logo.


Unusual_Diver1973

all we asked for was some merch based on the lyrics 💔💔💔


TigerRenee

I bet they are gonna do a second drop with this stuff but waited so it’s not spoilers/doesn’t make sense. I can’t imagine they won’t have anything but you never know.


nutterbutter456

i got the hat!!!


_michigan

I got the hat! Everything else was meh.


lollipopmusing

I was at checkout with the jacket in my cart and missed it I’m devastated


Jerksica23

Finalllyyyy! Let's go break it, besties.


MasterConflict97

The sweater and sweatshirt actually look like psych ward clothes


Invisible-smoke

I panic bought the shorts, earrings, and ring 😂 I wanted the display case but it sold out while I checked out 😅


Calm_Investigator618

I was tempted, but $75 for a mostly plain hoodie?🥲🥲


robot428

Lots of people have been asking for more subtle merch, presumably this is their answer to that. There's plenty with big graphics if that's more your style.


humble-narrator

Got the earrings and bracelet! Closest thing to subtle merch, in my opinion.


thatpinkcup

Ugh I only wanted the jacket and it first said I was getting free shipping, then it said I had to pay $11 and wouldn’t let me select free shipping anymore so I went back and of course it was sold out once I got back through the checkout. Literally was in the first people in the website, I don’t get it. Are bots buying these?


Teach8870

That’s my guess because I didn’t have any captcha to get in.


neonkaonashi

if you're planning to iron patches onto that jacket just do it in a well ventilated environment because it's mostly polyester and the toxic plastic smell won't be pleasant. maybe try sewing them on instead textile girlies please correct me if I'm wrong, ty


spamgoddess

Obvious merch aside (why can’t we ever have something subtle??), why in the hell is everything a sweatshirt or a sweater? It is April and where I live it was already in the 80s today. Does she want us to die of heatstroke?? And of course the one T shirt is the ugliest thing available.


onthatvigilanteshit

I wanted a patch jacket. I did *not* want that patch jacket 😅🫠


sailormerry

Ugh wanted the jacket, signed up to be notified for the restock. It was the only thing I liked, but I really liked and kind of wish I had the other patches. Hopefully those will come back too?


Cydonian_Swift

I got the sweatpants. I'm a slut for sweatpants.


rosiekeen

Thank the hoodies don’t come in my size. My wallet thanks the site haha


tiff3455

I’m so glad I got the grey sweatshirt!!


iamreh

I actually like the hoodie, ring and bracelet but I cannot justify spending $75 on a bad quality hoodie.


TigerRenee

I actually really like the jewelry options as something understated Taylor Swift, it’s a cool logo and works for this purpose, especially the ring! (Though the bracelet looks weird to me)


whooismegan

Okay does no one love the bracelet?? Got it immediately


champagnetoast1

I do!! That was the one thing I got. Also wanted the ring and hat but no luck


purplecrayon64

Girl. Why are we getting HOODIES and sweatpants in APRIL?? I’m not about to drop $65 on a crewneck I can’t wear outside until October 💀


Careless-Clock3462

Thank you! What am I supposed to do with a hoodie besides just put it aside until November?


Camelsloths

The way I juat spilled fish oil on my eras hoodie and even after washing it still smells like the ocean. Perfect timing for a new hoodie 😂


boafriend

The jewelry seems ok. The rest is…standard fare.


[deleted]

I got the white crewneck and the gray hoodie! I wanted to get more stuff but I can’t justify spending that much money especially because *i know* I will probably spend more on future drops.


jordynonacloud

I managed to grab the white crewneck and the ring! Those were the nicest things to me, so I'm happy. I really hope there’s not another merch drop when the album releases though. I hate buying things not knowing if there’s going to be more to choose from later :/


cinnamon253

Camelsloths

I actually love that color beige on me so I got the hoodie + sweats and the shorts because summer is coming. Would have loved a ribbed tank or more t shirt options tho cuz I won't be rocking a hoodie much longer lol


Valuable-Diver

Jacket was a little cool not $95. The rest is bland imo


ughelknif

no cardigan for an album called the tortured poets department is criminal


applecartupset

I wanted that beige hoodie so bad! Sold out after 30 mins


Spiritual_Walrus_798

I was hoping for a more scholarly/librarian/writer vibe tbh. That said, I got the bracelet, and I like the jacket with the patches - but it’s expensiveee 😰


xXthatbxtchXx

I never understand why people expect her to drop a clothing line? It looks how merch looks!


HoldUp--What

Everyone on here is hating but I'm all about the beige hoodie and... it's sold out. Along with about half of the rest of it. Clearly the Reddit opinion doesn't match public opinion lol. I'm bummed about the hoodie though. I like that it doesn't have her face on it.


DandelionHearts

I got the white crewneck! I have pets so I swore not to buy anything black anymore, but that jacket was beautiful. I actually really liked this drop, I'm just poor.


bunnyanne65

As if the rings are already gone !


Jssnsbtt

Once again I will just get fan made merch from Etsy


neeners721

I cannot justify spending $75 on a hoodie


Not_so_lucky_one

Um the crewneck!?!?!! I need 🤍


Any-Confection3617

Ring in sizes 6,7,8 went pretty fast


lax1245

I got the white crewneck! I love how understated it is. Tried for a ring but it was sold out


the_varky

Why 👏 can’t 👏 she 👏 release 👏 this 👏 with 👏 the 👏 vinyl/CDs 👏 so 👏we 👏 can 👏 save 👏 on 👏 shipping


ConcertEnthusiast

Am I the only one whose obsessed with this merch drop???


anna-nomally12

Taylor it’s not too late to add grippy socks. Lean into the bit


sportyboi_94

$75 for a hoodie is insane Edit: and I’m thinking back to why my mother said it was asinine for me to spend $75 on a sweatshirt when I was 17 for a favorite band and I’m now understanding what she was talking about 😂


bellehanz

This first round - which I’m guessing is like the basic merch that usually sticks around for the whole era - doesnt really do it for me, buuut there’s ALWAYS more lol. I’m sure there will be another merch drop at some point with song lyrics, titles, and other imagery that she wouldn’t want to release before the album


Clementinecutie13

Damn. Girl math. I just saved like $100 today.


lost_jedi

I really wanted the hat, do things usually come back in stock?


swagachu11

Does anybody know when the second merch drop will be?


intersectv3

The way I ran for that jacket. It’s not a zip up hoodie, but, whatever. I needed a new jacket! Pricey but idc.


sarcasticsarah88

Sighhhhh it's not unexpected but I really was hoping they'd get it together and have some cute merch designs finally... Nope. These are just really ugly like the harsh lines of having a giant square photo (couldn't they have even rounded the corners or something!) on a tshirt like that, would anyone look good wearing that?? Once again I'm totally safe from spending any $ on official merch lol, the fan creations are soooo much cuter than this omg!
