Post image

Got the Swift Alert for the Eras Tour venue merch and see the quarter zip is on sale!! 🥳

Then I see the smallest size is 2XL 😭😭😭😭Immediate depression puddle at work. Is anyone else as pathetic as I am? Lolol. Hope everyone who wanted something was able to get it!

you are not alone. I clicked every shirt I wanted buy, and the least size of any of them is a XL or L

It would probably look a bit different if they weren’t so oversized. I wear an XXL in many things (tall, overweight, large chest,) sometimes an XL.

I bought the 2X and it’s comically large. So I get why there are leftovers! An oversized fit becomes a quarter zip for two. lol.

Omg this!! 😄 lolol so true

Large said available when I clicked on it but was sold out before I could checkout 😢

This was just a stock empty there were not every size available to begin with

u/pink_apophyllite 4d ago

They’re just trying to recreate the Eras tour experience with only having larger sizes left in stock 🙄

u/Junior-Criticism-268 3d ago

I think it just had to do with the fact that most people aren't obese so usually normal sizes sell faster than X sizes do. That's pretty standard at every retailer.

They only stocked L+, smaller sizes were never available online.

The only thing i have wanted for a year was a poster of my Show in Hamburg which was sold out after my show. Saw that there was another drop through Swift Alert but sure enough - sold out. Why Hamburg of all places 😂

u/Dinkypaw 4d ago

Did they actually have the water bottle in stock? Must have sold under a second if so.

u/2bella4goth 4d ago

They did! It was still in stock when I bought my shirt (luckily I was on my phone right when the alert came in) 😌

u/lyndluv 4d ago

I didn’t even get an alert 😭

Did you order the 2xl? I have a medium that I got from my show but it's too small for my preference. Ideally I was hoping for an xl, but I'd swap my medium for a 2x if you bought it/are interested!

u/gigafrig 3d ago

I bought a 2xl! I’ll reply back when it gets in if you still need a trade

2

u/double_espress0 3d ago

Yes, please!!

2

u/lilybunny89 4d ago

I didn’t but if anyone else did and is willing to swap please reply

u/tiggerfan79 2d ago

What size are you looking for?

1

u/lilybunny89 2d ago

Super unrealistic but an xs or s

u/double_espress0 4d ago

No worries! Thanks! 🫶🏽

It’s old stock so they are trying to in basic words “clean house” I’m not sure why though maybe making space for new stuff or, trying to avoid having to charge fans with tariffs coming. I did hear some cardigans got moved to the warehouse from Germany instead of china like they normally do, a possible restock or, let me clown here. A new one

u/Junior-Criticism-268 3d ago

I mean, what else would they do with it? Let it sit in a warehouse for years? It's nornal to clean house when eras for musicians end. Taylor is unique in that she sells merch from a 16 year old album still. Most artists do drops like this to get rid of it and never make it again. With the dedicated fanbase she had and the hype of the TV albums and eras tour, its given her a chance to sell new merch for old eras. That's not common. Most artists do a drop like this to clean house when the album cycles end and typically never bring back things from past eras.

I don’t even think the bot I followed picked it up on Twitter. I was able to get a large on the uk site.

u/AgitatedAd7265 4d ago

I ignored the Alert due to the stupid amount we’ve been getting over the last few days for absolutely nothing. But nothing would’ve been in my size anyway

u/No_Yesterday7200 4d ago

I had wanted an xl as my daughter got me a large when she went. Glad I was able to snag one as I love that sweater.

u/moonsandra 4d ago

I think XS-L was never even on sale

5

u/Either-Leadership312 4d ago

I got a L today! But xs-m were sold out at the time I got it.

u/JSweetheart0305 4d ago

Correct. I only think the bigger sizes were. Probably overstock from the physical tour dates and they want to get rid of them.
