Overview

• Swift revealed the latest The Life of a Showgirl edition via a blue countdown on Aug. 21, offering a limited, first-and-only pressing available for two days or while supplies last.
• The edition features two vinyl colors — lakeside beach blue sparkle and lovely bouquet golden — and a new cover showing Swift in a yellow feather headdress and crystal lingerie onstage with showgirls.
• The rollout follows earlier timed variants, which outlets reported selling out quickly, reinforcing a scarcity-driven strategy centered on short webstore windows.
• Industry coverage notes these collectible physical versions are a deliberate sales tactic that reliably boosts debut-week totals for Swift’s releases.
• The album remains slated for Oct. 3 with production by Max Martin and Shellback and a Sabrina Carpenter feature on the title track, and Swift says the bathtub-themed main cover reflects her offstage life at tour’s end.
