Both record styles come with the same alternative album art, which finds the singer decked out in full showgirl regalia with a crystal two-piece costume, a thick choker with dangling pendants, and an ornate headpiece with yellow feathers, with yellow and white feathered boas draped over her arms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For the first time in her illustrious career, Swift was not the only figure depicted in her album art.
