Taylor Swift Releases 24-Hour iTunes Deluxe of ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ With Studio Voice Memos

The limited digital drop extends her time-boxed release tactics with process recordings plus acoustic takes.

Overview

  • Swift announced that The Life of a Showgirl (DELUXE Alone In My Tower Acoustic Version) is available on iTunes for 24 hours only.
  • The release features original songwriting voice memos labeled Act 1 and Act 2 alongside acoustic versions of The Fate of Ophelia and Eldest Daughter.
  • She shared studio photos from sessions in Sweden with producers Max Martin and Shellback, saying she recorded ideas as they were written.
  • The move continues her short-window strategy that recently included 48-hour vinyl variants and a one-weekend theatrical release event.
  • Billboard reported 2.7 million traditional album sales on day one, and 9to5Mac listed the iTunes deluxe at $4.99 for the 24-hour window.
