Swift previously released the album variants, the Dazzling Shiny Bug Vinyl Collection and Baby, That’s Show Business Vinyl Collection, with glamorous photos and costuming.
They will be available for the next 48 hours, or until they sell out on Swift’s online store.
During her debut in August on the New Heights podcast hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, Swift spoke about how The Life of a Showgirl came to be.
The Life of a Showgirl, out on Oct. 3, will be her 12th studio album and her first since wrapping up her record-breaking Eras Tour. Max Martin, Shellback and Swift serve as producers for the upcoming batch of music.
“It feels like kind of energetically how my life has felt,” she began. “And this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during [The Eras Tour], which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant.”

She also debuted the tracklist, which features 12 songs: “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Opalite,” “Father Figure,” “Eldest Daughter,” “Ruin the Friendship,” “Actually Romantic,” “Wi$h Li$t,” “Wood,” “CANCELLED!” “Honey” and “The Life of a Showgirl.”
Sabrina Carpenter is featured on the title track.
As for the artwork, which features Swift partially submerged in water and dressed in a dazzling outfit, it depicted the “end of my night,” she told Jason, 37, and Travis, 35.
“My day ends with me in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress,” Swift explained. “I wanted to sort of, like, glamorize all the different aspects of how that tour felt, and that’s how that felt to be at the end of the night when all this has gone down.”

‘The Life of a Showgirl’ – Taylor Swift
“I wanted to have it sort of like an offstage moment as the the main album cover is because this album isn’t really about what happened to me on stage. It’s about what I was going through off stage.”
With the songs and storytelling featured on The Life of a Showgirl, Swift’s “main goals were melodies that were so infectious that you’re almost angry at it and lyrics that are just as vivid but crisp and focused and completely, intentional.”
The Life of a Showgirl is available for preorder.
