The website said this and other vinyl editions would be shipped by 13 October.<\/p>\n<p>The multi Grammy-winning pop star\u2019s last album was <em>The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>, released in 2024. In the same year, she ended her record-breaking Eras Tour, which sold tickets worth an estimated $2.2bn (\u00a31.6bn) in its nearly two-year run, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time for two years in a row.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNPbaYMuypd\/embed\/captioned\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"sc-wn0aau-1 fCqdVG\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>The Life of a Showgirl <\/em>will be Swift\u2019s first album since she bought back the full rights to her first six albums from investment fund Shamrock Capital. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-0 ijrISW\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-9\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-3 jIcHbz\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-4 hqeEpq\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/static-assets\/images\/mobile-stores\/Amazon_Music.png\" width=\"129\" height=\"36\" alt=\"Amazon Music logo\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-5 erkCqL\">\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-6 fRRcsB\">Enjoy unlimited access to 100 million ad-free songs and podcasts with Amazon Music<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-7 izUBNE\">Sign up now for a 30-day free trial.

To my fans, you know how important this has been to me \u2013 so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released four of my albums, calling them Taylor\u2019s Version,\u201d Swift added.<\/p>\n<p>Her albums were first acquired by music mogul Scooter Braun in 2020 in a deal believed to be more than $300m. <\/p>\n<p>The sale caused major furore at the time as Swift claimed she had begged to buy her own work outright, but was denied the chance. <\/p>\n<p>In August 2019, she announced she would be <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/music\/news\/taylor-swift-taylors-version-albums-timeline-b2528845.html\">working to re-record her early albums<\/a> as a way to gain ownership of her music. So far, she has released <em>Fearless (Taylor&#8217;s Version)<\/em>, <em>Red (Taylor&#8217;s Version), Speak Now (Taylor&#8217;s Version)<\/em> and <em>1989 (Taylor&#8217;s Version), <\/em>all of which have been commercial successes.<\/p>\n<p>Fans had been expecting Swift to follow these with the remake of <em>Reputation<\/em> (2017) and her debut album, <em>Taylor Swift <\/em>(2006). While sharing that she had \u201calready completely\u201d re-recorded the entire debut album, the singer said she hadn\u2019t \u201ceven re-recorded a quarter of\u201d <em>Reputation<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em>The<em> Reputation<\/em> album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it.\u201d She claimed that it\u2019s the \u201cone album in those first six that I thought couldn\u2019t be improved upon by redoing it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I kept putting it off.
