Inside Taylor Swift’s limited edition ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ collection: How to buy, pricing details, and more

Taylor Swift’s 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, will be released on October 3, 2025. On August 13, 2025, she shared details about it on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason.

Since then, Swift has been keeping her fans on their toes with potential Easter eggs with subsequent posts on her socials the following days, including a wide range of alternate album covers for The Life of a Showgirl. Like most of her latest releases, the album is available in CD and orange glitter cassette, and vinyl, which are all available for pre-order on her official website.

But that's not all, because Taylor Swift also unveiled a series of The Life of a Showgirl limited edition collection. After previous limited editions sell out, she has returned with two different versions of the album's Baby, That's Show Business vinyl edition, which will be available for 48 hours, until Saturday, August 23, 2025, at 2:00 pm ET or until supplies last.

The two alternate covers continue Swift's Vegas showgirl motif, photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. This time, she's posing center stage in a yellow feathered headdress and a bedazzled showgirl costume. There are two choices, as mentioned: one with a lovely bouquet of golden vinyl and the other in lakeside beach blue sparkle vinyl, both priced at $29.99.

The latest limited-edition vinyls of her upcoming album follow a series of limited-edition releases, including the "It's Frightening," "It's Rupturous," and "It's Beautiful" deluxe CDs. She also released "The Shiny Bug" limited vinyl collection a few days ago, which is no longer available on the site.
