Taylor Swift Releases Third Limited ‘Life of a Showgirl’ Vinyl Variant

Taylor Swift is continuing her innovative rollout for her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, with the release of a third limited-edition vinyl variant called the “Tiny Bubbles in Champagne” edition. This edition features two different colored vinyls—"Under Bright Lights Pearlescent" and "Red Lipstick & Lace Transparent"—and an exclusive alternate cover showing Swift adorned with red feathers and a bejeweled star headpiece. Each vinyl variant has been released through cryptic online countdowns on Swift's website and is available only for 48 hours or while supplies last, with previous editions selling out rapidly. The album, which is set for an October 3 release, includes 12 tracks produced by Max Martin, Shellback, and Swift herself, with Sabrina Carpenter featured on the title track. This extensive use of collectible vinyl variants, each with unique covers and colors, highlights Swift's marketing strategy and sustained engagement with her fanbase following her record-breaking Eras Tour. The ongoing positive fan response often suggests some alternate covers could have been the official album cover, underscoring the popularity and excitement around these releases.
