Taylor Swift Drops Four 24-Hour CD Editions With New Acoustic ‘Showgirl’ Tracks

The timed webstore release reinforces a scarcity-driven rollout tied to an AMC release-week event.

Overview

  • Swift unveiled four limited-edition CDs, each adding two exclusive acoustic or rehearsal versions recorded with Max Martin and Shellback.
  • The variants — Life Is A Song (Acoustic), Dressing Room Rehearsal, Alone In My Tower (Acoustic), and So Glamorous (Cabaret) — include distinct cuts, such as an Elizabeth Taylor songwriting voice memo.
  • Each edition was sold exclusively on her website in a 24-hour window while supplies lasted.
  • The drop coincided with an 89-minute AMC ‘Official Release Party of a Showgirl’ weekend that Geo News reported earned nearly $16 million on its first day.
  • The releases extend momentum from the album’s Oct. 3 debut and prompted mixed social-media reactions praising the intimate approach or criticizing repeated limited editions.
