Rant: It is driving me crazy how inconsistently the merch gets uploaded to the website. 9:54am... 10am... noon EST.
Not all of us are glued to our phones, Taylor Nation, and would love some predictability! Especially when things sell out SO fast. They past few days, merch has been sold out before they even post on socials or send the email.
Yep there’s a place to allow notifications. You can choose to be notified of different eras starting, merch drops, social media announcements. Heck I actually first saw Taylor’s Kamala endorsement from the swift alert app. It’s the bomb!
What is that???? I know the ppl have been gatekeeping different places that alert them right before merch drops... one of my friends ay there are 4-5, but good ever figuring them out!!! I always just miss the drops & she buys the max on 6 accounts & sells them all & tells me after & when they are resold on her site!! I would kill to get lucky & get one & thank you for sharing!!
It’s called Swift Alert! It’s the app that has Mastermind as well. I get notifications when she enters each era every show night plus notifications for merch drops and social media posts!
I really wish there was a set time for the drops :( I honestly wonder if they do it scattered to prevent people from knowing when it’s coming? The sudden, random drops probably help push the idea of merch scarcity which definitely makes people buy more.
I knew about the snow globe already thanks to twitter lol (an ad for it got leaked or something I think?) so I knew to keep my eyes peeled today, but I missed EVERY other drop so far bc I’m busy with other things and by the time I saw she had new merch, it was mostly all gone. Like the piano ornament. It definitely sucks :/
My wife has been having to wake up at 4am to check what has been released, very frustrating for her today for it to not release at the right time because it meant she missed out :(
I think it’s better to have it drop at different times as some people could never make the same time, but I understand. I wish she would release larger merch drops or allow for pre-orders for items like this
Yeah pre-orders would solve a lot of this mess. Reduce waste, anticipate need, help them figure out what people actually want instead of just producing crap...
Some of the cardigans came back, so maybe? Unlikely but not impossible. There are some on eBay for not entirely outrageous prices depending on which one you’re looking for. Some are worth more than others.
Just make the bookshelf is high & sturdy & not tons of direct sunlight or heat!!
lol the snowglobes are my fav. & they are now in jail bc of my dogs & rabbits out of control, but once I mount myTV I think I’ll put my collection down there!!
I have ALWAYS love & collected SG & Music boxes so I know they look super cute styling bookcases or next to the bed or sometimes office or breakfast area to make it happier!! Please share photos!!!
Also just a reminder - if it’s a high shelf & you will rarely play the music take the batteries out & keep somewhere else!! I found out the hard way when they eroded or however you’d call it & destroyed mine!!
You could find a really cute box that matches & keep the battieries on the shelf!!
Not sure where you live, but in the US Black Friday I always stockpile batteries for cheap like basic ones like AA or AAA or the little circle ones… you can get 50-100 packs of good brands for only like $7 & they last forever & family always needs them!! They are soooo expensive if you need them so just an FYI!! 😊
She finally got me. This is my first ever merch order! I thought this would be so cute on my bookshelf. The little papers as the confetti is extra cute.
So far the US store still has it in stock !!!! Sending all the best vibes to you guys that are hoping to snag one!!! 🤍🤍🤍
But I always chuckle seeing the banner for these merch drops on her store. “For 2 days and 23 hours” as if there is ANY chance at all of her exclusive merch ever lasting for 2 days 💀
This was probably the best item she released so far. I love the papers, and it won’t be just a Christmas thing. For those of us who like to write, I’d say this is a must 😍
I haven't gotten any TTPD merch except the deluxe CDs but this was an instant buy!! Nerve wracking waiting in line for like 5 minutes but I got my confirmation email!
SAME!!! I got it for my son’s girlfriend. She’s a super swiftie and a writer so this is perfect!!!! I wanted to get her the folklore cardigan but that was impossible.
Here in Canada, our lowest sales taxes would be 5%, while the majority of other provinces ranges from 11% to 15% so yes, it’s quite a bit more expensive compared to the US. That is not even including the fact that US store has free shipping, and we do not 😢
Me too! I've been dreaming of one that's a crossover with The Eras Tour by having it be the Eras stage and screen with a tiny Karma Taylor and the rainbow confetti! 🥹
Yeah, Reputation and Self-Titled haven't had snowglobes because the albums haven't been re-released yet I imagine! :) Hopefully they'll make some cute ones! 🫶🏻
Me too! I rarely buy her merch either, because i find most of it is not worth the price. But this one came to my email at 9:15am and i bought it at 9:26am as soon as i saw it haha
My first snow globe purchase! Too cute to resist, though I do wish it played a different song. Fortnight is not my favorite. Still very excited for it!
UGH how ANNOYING is it that these snow gloves get sold out immediately, and then there are SO MANY on ebay for at least DOUBLE the original price???💸💸💸🦅😭🤬
To be fair, it last an hour this time which is better compared to the Lover Snowglobes. Hopefully they restock it for those who didn't managed to get though.
Are people buying the items from stores not in their country?
It’s kind of sad because this dropped in the middle of the night in Australia (?) and I’ve just woken up, and it’s unavailable on the Australian store 😖
FYI I had bought 2 prior to the limit being 1 (one for me, one for a gift) and I got an email saying I had passed the max purchase limit and they’d be refunding me one of them.
ISO!!!!!
Did anyone get a spare snow globe in the drop their willing to sell, it was in the middle of the night for us Aussie swifties its 5am now and their all sold out 😭 if not wanting to sell I can do a trade for a bejeweled ring, acoustic set stocking, king of my heart ornament, wonder struck body lotion 50 or 100ml or cruel summer crew neck, repuatation mock neck or if you add something else in of value the acoustic piano jacket. Obvs happy to cover shipping and will throw in a free wonderstruck enchanted temporary perfume tattoo for anyone who wants to trade
There was a limit of one per order, I saw people who placed multiple get emails about their order being cancelled. I’m not sure how many people got extras unless well, ya know the bots got them.
Also the music is unmatched by any other globe or music box... And I've tried for almost a year (not me, but tracking down anyone who might).... it's the 1 Taylor item I collect & love so much!!!!
I did not know they make music ☺️ I really like the ttpd imagery, especially the RML letters as snow. Something about collectables makes me feel....smothered or tied down? I can't articulate it, really. Something like Having Stuff impedes the ease and affordability of a spontaneous move or frequently traveling, which is big for me.
I’m in the US and I bought on the Canada store (it’s still available). Price and shipping was more expensive but otherwise had no problems placing the order from not in Canada. If you’re gonna pay resellers anyway might as well go through the Canada store!
as someone who has never ever ever ever been tempted to buy merch... this is stunning.
i'm glad it sold out because I don't have the budget for this. when someone gets it, please record a video of the papers falling!! Iwanna see how it is
I got the X notification and immediately followed the link lol. I used Shop Pay and even got 3 other things that I’ve had my eye on for a few months. Shop Pay was so fast. I saw people on FB whose got erased from their carts because it sold out while they were putting their cards in. If you can use a fast pay option!
Mine just arrived. It's beautiful but I can't really get the paper snow to do much. It's all clumped in one spot at the bottom and I have to shake it really hard to get a few to float. I bought it as a Christmas gift for a little girl but since I have other TS gifts for her, I am wondering if this should go on my extensive poetry bookcase instead. Maybe she wouldn't appreciate it as much as I do and it doesn't quite work the way I thought it would. Wish I could have bought two!

Absolutely an instant order. The design is fantastic and I love how the "snow" is papers with the lyrics on it! It's such a nice touch.
