She’s the queen of selling the same thing multiple times to teenage girls.

Remember when she put out the same vinyl album with four covers that made a picture when you arranged them together in a square? 4 times the sales for doing nothing.

And people think she’s kind and sweet. She’s a vulture

I read somewhere that her last album has 39 different versions.

Olivia's had 46 (when counting the same type of "variants" that gets you to 39 for Taylors). It sucks that this is industry standard, but it is industry standard and has been going on in pop music long before Taylor Swift and will continue after her.
