Overview

  • Swift unveiled The Shiny Bug Vinyl Collection at 2 p.m. ET, offering wintergreen onyx and violet shimmer marbled pressings for a 48-hour window or while supplies last.
  • Both one-time-only variants sold out in less than an hour, according to her webstore availability and multiple reports.
  • The edition includes exclusive packaging featuring an alternate cover, a full-size gatefold photo, a poem written by Swift and additional photo inserts.
  • The 12-track album arrives Oct. 3 with Max Martin and Shellback as co-producers, a Sabrina Carpenter feature on the title track and no bonus songs beyond the core set.
  • Early reactions include Zoë Kravitz calling the record “no skips” and Travis Kelce labeling the songs “bangers,” as new imagery draws mixed responses and a nod from Kylie Minogue to the showgirl lineage.
