Two things are for sure with every Taylor Swift album release: her friends are going to love it, and she’s going to give fans multiple vinyl variants to choose from. On Sunday, Zoë Kravitz gave Swift’s album her seal of approval, telling Extra she’s already obsessed with it.
During the interview, Kravitz revealed that she had “heard bits” of the album the singer announced last week. “It’s fantastic, of course,” Kravitz told the interviewer of the Max Martin and Shellback-produced album. “No skips.”
Then, on Monday, after placing a countdown on her website, Swift unveiled two new vinyl variants for the album, which feature imagery different than the one she shared last week as The Life of a Showgirl was announced.
The new cover art sees Swift in a sparkly, dark leotard and matching gloves, leaning her hand against the wall with the name of the album written in sparkly font. The records with that cover artwork are being dubbed “The Shiny Bug Edition,” with fans being able to choose between a “wintergreen and onyx marbled” vinyl color and a “violet shimmer marbled” vinyl (both of which are already sold out).
The records featuring that imagery are available exclusively on her website through Aug. 20, offered as a “limited run” and promised to be the “first and only pressing” of the variant.

Swift unveiled The Life of a Showgirl artwork last week during an interview with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason on the New Heights podcast. The LP, which features Sabrina Carpenter on the title track, is set to release on Oct. 3.
“This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant. It just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life,” she said. “And so that effervescence has come through on this record. And like, as you said, bangers.”
