Taylor Swift has broken the internet again — this time with a smoldering new alternative album cover.
“The Life of a Showgirl: The Shiny Bug Vinyl Collection is available now on my site for 48 hours. Album Producers: Max Martin, Shellback and Taylor Swift 📸: Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott,” Swift, 35, captioned her latest post on Monday, August 18, revealing two options: the wintergreen and onyx marbled vinyl or the violet shimmer marbled vinyl.
The singer channeled a dark, seductive, almost vampiric aesthetic in her viral new cover art after teasing fans with a countdown prior to her launch.
Swift posed in a form-fitting beaded bodysuit with a subtle sparkle paired with fishnet tights and opera gloves adorned with matching rhinestones that gave off a black and ruby-red hue.
She completed her femme fatale-inspired look with smokey eye makeup, thick smudged eyeliner, sculpted contour and a statement crimson lip, while her hair was styled in soft waves.
Both vinyl variants sold out within one hour of the drop.
“The visuals for this era… your best album yet is coming,” one commenter wrote under her post on X. “Straight into my cart these are gorgeous!” another fan gushed.
“Iconic. You never miss,” a third replied, while a fourth rejoiced, “Taylor is clearing!!!!!!! She will be number one for months chileeeeeeee.”
