This isn’t the first time Swift and Target have teamed up. Last year, the two partnered for exclusive releases of “The Tortured Poets Department” album and a hardcover book featuring over 500 images from Swift’s The Eras Tour.
According to Target, the album was the chain’s largest music pre-order in history — and the book was the highest selling new book release of the year.
Swift officially announced details about “The Life of a Showgirl” in an Aug. 12 appearance on “New Heights,” a podcast hosted by her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce.
“It just comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life,” Swift said. “This is the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time.”
