The limited release is dubbed ‘The Tiny Bubbles in Champagne Vinyl Collection’ and it’s only available until Wednesday at 3:59pm ET ‘while supplies last.’
The 35-year-old billionaire pop star’s $29.99 record winds up costing fans around $43.41 after adding taxes and shipping.
The vinyl itself is available in two shades – ‘under bright lights pearlescent’ and ‘red lipstick & lace transparent.’
On the social media platform X, users like @DannyWxo tweeted: ‘Milking us fans for every dime.’
‘Great news for the unemployed,’ X user @Heskkk2 sarcastically wrote.
X user @ifvrstone and many others declared: ‘I need a sugar daddy.’
‘No judgement here,’ X user @sjeruzal tweeted.
‘But I wonder how many people are going to end up with what, four or five different versions of the same vinyl album after this is all said and done? LOL!’
X user @maroonflawless wasn’t happy with the website waiting times for the shopping cart: ‘Babe you’re gorgeous and I love you but stop with your limited pressing, it’s causing panic stress and it’s getting out of hand.’
‘I am begging you to get married and have kids please stop whatever this is,’ X user @BowTiedMaker tweeted, referring to Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Meanwhile, X user @zachitwasmaroon couldn’t get enough of The Life of a Showgirl roll-out: ‘Mother they just keep getting better and better!’
Fan account @dontblamealex posted a close-up of Swift captioned: ‘Excuse me, the face card?!’
The 14-time Grammy winner quickly sold out her August 21st limited edition vinyl dubbed ‘The Baby That’s Show Business Collection’ featuring an alternative shot captured by photography duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.
Taylor was criticized for being too sexually suggestive with her bent over pose on the August 18th ‘Shiny Bug’ vinyl collection.
That same day, Swift launched three other vinyl editions including one featuring a black-wigged cover, a cleavage-filled clamoring cover, and a nearly nude rhinestone lingerie cover.
The Pennsylvania-born belter’s ‘standard’ edition containing a sparkly orange vinyl record was the first to be ready for presale on August 13.
‘Every single song is on this album for hundreds of reasons. It is just right,’ Taylor said on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast New Heights August 11.
‘This album isn’t really about what happened to me onstage [during my 149-date Eras Tour]. It’s about what I was going through offstage. This, to me, tells more of what the actual contents lyrically of the album are.’
The Life of a Showgirl reunited Swift with producers Max Martin and Shellback, who helped mastermind her albums Red (2012), 1989 (2014), and Reputation (2017).
The How Does It End singer’s 12-track record includes two songs – Ruin the Friendship and CANCELLED! – which many predict to be about the deterioration of her friendship with Blake Lively.
The canceled 37-year-old allegedly blackmailed Taylor in February by threatening to release a decade of private text messages if she didn’t issue a statement of support amid her Justin Baldoni legal war.
On May 30, Swift regained the masters to her first six studio albums – Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation.
Billboard reported that Taylor spent around $360M to buy back her music catalog from Shamrock Capital after ‘bully’ Scooter Braun sold her masters to the private equity firm in 2020 (a year after buying them from Big Machine).
‘[My mother Andrea and brother Austin] sat down with Shamrock Capital and they told them what this meant for me. They told them the whole story of all the times we’ve tried to buy it, all the times it’s fallen through,’ Swift recalled, tearing up.
‘I get a call from my mom and she’s like, “You got your music.” It’s literally been so long since this happened, and it’s every time I talk about it…I just like very dramatically hit the floor for real. Honestly, just started like bawling my eyes out, and I’m just like weeping.’
The homeschooled millennial – who began her career at age 11 – has a massive fanbase with 548.6M social media followers and 86.5M monthly listeners on Spotify.
