When CDs were invented, I stopped listening to records and our turntables sat unused. I was clearing out things I no longer used this past summer and, knowing that vinyl records are now a thing with GenZ, I texted my three GenZ nieces asking if any were interested in having one of the turntables. The 23-year old niece who attended the recent Taylor Swift concert here in The Cities replied right away and got the nice German made turntable I had. The 25-year old niece got the fairly nice turntable my husband had in college.

When I saw my nephew this past fall he was telling me that his 13-year old daughter - who attended the Taylor Swift concert this summer - bought a stereo system so she could listen to vinyl records.

So yes, it's a thing with younger folks.

Edited to add - You can buy the Taylor Swift 4 Vinyl Records Collection - Fearless, Red, Speak Now, and 1989 - for $208.74 from Amazon.

Yep. My 14=year old Swiftie is definitely into vinyl. And they are a LOT more expensive.

I have a nice Linn turntable from the early '80s somewhere in the attic I should find it and dust it off.

"Her records say "Vote Biden" when played backward!"



Records? Just what year is this?

I hear some of the kids are getting back into vinyl. And yes, Taylor's music has been pressed to vinyl as a novelty. Cost more but.. those little cracks, clicks, and imperfections can be worth it.

Novelty? Maybe, but her record took over every vinyl pressing plant in the country, and several in Europe to the consternation of every other record company. Several Mobile Fidelity titles were deLayed for up to a year due to lack of capacity and then suffered from quality issues as the plants tried to catch up with their other contracts. Same with Acoustic Productions.

Yeah, that was good.
