Overview

• A four-hour website countdown ended at 2 p.m. ET with The Life of a Showgirl: The Shiny Bug Vinyl Collection, available exclusively on Swift’s site through 1:59 p.m. ET on Aug. 20 while supplies last.
• The limited run offers two marbled color pressings (wintergreen/onyx and violet shimmer) and includes exclusive cover art, a poem by Swift, a full-size gatefold image and additional photographs.
• All imagery is credited to photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and the variants are billed as one-time-only pressings that were reported to sell out quickly.
• Zoë Kravitz said she has heard "bits" of the album and called it "fantastic" with "no skips," adding to early buzz ahead of release.
• The Life of a Showgirl arrives Oct. 3 as a concise 12-track set co-produced with Max Martin and Shellback featuring Sabrina Carpenter on the title track, with Swift emphasizing there will be no bonus songs beyond the listed dozen.
