Overview

• Swift unveiled two one-time-only LP variants — violet shimmer marbled and wintergreen onyx marbled — under The Life of a Showgirl: The Shiny Bug Vinyl Collection on her webstore.
• The editions were offered for a 48-hour window or while supplies lasted and featured exclusive packaging with alternate cover imagery by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott plus a poem and additional photos.
• Multiple outlets reported both variants sold out within an hour of the 2 p.m. ET launch, with the listings marked unavailable shortly after going live.
• The album is set for Oct. 3 with 12 tracks produced with Max Martin and Shellback, including a title-track collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter.
• Swift has said there will be no bonus tracks beyond the core 12, so variants differ by artwork and packaging, as early reactions — including Zoë Kravitz calling it “no skips” — drive anticipation.
