Taylor Swift Surprises Fans with Exclusive Acoustic Bonus Tracks on New CD Variants
In a surprise move, Taylor Swift released four new CD variants of her album "The Life of a Showgirl" over the weekend, featuring two exclusive acoustic tracks not found on the standard version. According to Billboard, the limited-edition CDs are available for purchase on Swift's official webstore until Sunday night, priced at $7.99 with unique cover art.
Each of the four new CD variants boasts brand-new production by Max Martin, Shellback, and Taylor Swift herself, accompanied by newly recorded vocals from the singer-songwriter. The acoustic bonus tracks offer a fresh take on some of Swift's most popular songs, providing fans with an intimate listening experience that showcases her musical versatility.
The release of these exclusive CD variants comes just days after the standard version of "The Life of a Showgirl" dropped on Friday, October 3, featuring 12 tracks. According to Billboard, the album has already sold over 2.7 million copies worldwide. The new CD variants are available in limited quantities, making them a rare collectible for Swifties.
