Taylor Swift has broken the internet, Spotify, and Jake Gyllenhaal’s spirits with the release of her new album, Red (Taylor’s Version).
Featuring a duet with Chris Stapleton and a 10-minute version of fan favorite “All Too Well,” not to mention cinematic music videos starring Miles Teller and Sadie Sink, Taylor has once again proved that she’s a force to be reckoned with.
However, for Taylor Swift fans, another force to be reckoned with… figuring out how to play a vinyl record.
A ton of Swifties can’t figure out why their new Red (Taylor’s Version) records sound like this…
And the most sought-after copies are the limited-edition red-colored 4-disc set available only at Target.
Needless to say, Target shoppers were VERY confused…
Excuse me for one second…
HAHAHAHAHA.
Of course, there’s a very simple explanation for all of this…
Red (Taylor’s Version) was pressed to be played at 45rpm, not 33 and 1/2rpm… all you need to do is flip a switch on your record player that changes the speed. When you play the record slower than it’s supposed to, it sounds deeper, slower, and… more like a man.
Bless their hearts…
Also… this.
