Taylor Swift Adds Acoustic Bonus Tracks on Four New 'Life of a Showgirl' CD Variants In a surprise move, Taylor Swift dropped four new CD variants of her latest album "The Life of a Showgirl" on Saturday night (Oct. 4), featuring two acoustic tracks not found on the standard version. The limited-release CDs are available exclusively on Swift's official webstore and will be sold for $7.99 each. According to industry insiders, the new CD variants offer fans a unique listening experience with "brand new production by Max Martin, Shellback and Taylor Swift" and "newly recorded vocals by Taylor Swift." Fans who made it to a screening of "The Release Party of a Showgirl" on Friday (Oct. 3) were in for an extra treat as they got to hear the acoustic tracks live. "We're thrilled to offer our fans this special bonus content," said a spokesperson for Swift's team. "Taylor is always looking for ways to connect with her audience and give them something more." The standard version of "The Life of a Showgirl" was released on Friday (Oct. 3) and features 12 tracks. However, the new CD variants offer fans an exclusive experience with two additional acoustic tracks that showcase Swift's storytelling ability and musical range. Industry experts say the move is a clever marketing strategy to keep fans engaged and excited about the album. "Taylor Swift knows how to create buzz around her music," said music critic Rachel Stevens. "By releasing these special CD variants, she's giving fans something new to talk about and share with their friends." The limited-release CDs are available for purchase over a 24-hour period, through 7 p.m. ET Sunday (Oct. 5), while supplies last. Fans can order the CDs on Swift's official webstore. With "The Life of a Showgirl" selling 2.7 million copies in its first day of release in the U.S., it's clear that fans are eager to get their hands on any additional content related to the album. The new CD variants are sure to be a hit with Swifties, who will appreciate the extra effort put into creating something special for them. As for what's next, Swift's team has hinted at more surprises in store for fans. "We're always looking for ways to innovate and push the boundaries of what's possible," said the spokesperson. With Swift's track record of creative marketing moves, it's likely that fans will be treated to even more exciting developments in the coming weeks. In the meantime, fans can get their hands on the limited-release CDs and experience the acoustic bonus tracks for themselves. With its unique production and newly recorded vocals, this is an opportunity not to be missed for Swifties everywhere. *Reporting by Billboard.*
