Where to Buy the Vinyl
The best places to shop The Life of a Showgirl vinyl are Walmart, Target, Urban Outfitters, and Amazon. Once the album officially drops, orders will ship within a few days. That’s good news for die-hard fans, because we know you’ll want this masterpiece in your hands ASAP.
Sure, you can stream the album on Spotify or Apple Music, but let’s be honest: nothing beats owning the physical version. It doubles as a keepsake you’ll treasure for years, can be gifted, displayed, or serves as a reminder of where you were and how you felt the first time you pressed play. Plus, with Swift’s striking design of bold reds, greens, and sparkles, it makes for a stunning piece of home décor.
According to the official product description, The Life of a Showgirl includes “12 tracks, a double gatefold jacket, a poem written by Taylor on one side, and four unique photos on the other.”

CD Editions and Exclusives
No record player? No problem. The CD editions are more affordable (starting at $14.99) and still come with limited-edition posters and artwork. Our top picks are at Target, which is offering three exclusive versions to choose from.
Speaking of Target: select stores will open from midnight to 1 a.m. on release night for fans who want to make a mad dash and get a copy first. Think of it as a more fun version of Black Friday. That said, ordering online might be the less stressful (and way easier) option.
What’s on the Album?
The Life of a Showgirl features tracks like “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Eldest Daughter,” and “CANCELLED!” — just to name a few.
Don’t wait too long to shop for the new album. After all, you don’t want to “Ruin the Friendship” if your bestie manages to snag it before you.
