Taylor Swift is leaving no stone unturned in promoting her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, and her recent promotional photo in a corset has fueled elated fan reactions across the fandom. Notably, The Life of a Showgirl is the pop icon’s 12th studio album and will arrive on Friday, October 3.
Swifties praise Taylor Swift’s new Showgirl avatar
The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker works hard, but her team works harder to promote her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl. She wore a salmon pink and black velvet corset with netted fabric and silver heels in the new promotional photo for the album.
In the aforementioned images shared on Instagram, Taylor Swift sports an elaborate crown with white tassels and her dark blonde hair falling in gentle waves. She holds a giant vinyl copy of her album, The Life of a Showgirl, in her right hand and touches her photo frame with her left hand, striking a gorgeous and dramatic pose.
The 35-year-old singer’s stage crew, called Taylor’s Nation, shared the images with the caption: “Our showgirl stuns next to her masterpieces. A limited run, first and ONLY pressing of The Life of a Showgirl: The Crowd Is Your King Edition on Summertime Spritz Pink Shimmer Vinyl, including a GIANT poster, is available to pre-order now exclusively at Target while supplies last.”
Unsurprisingly, Swift’s promotional photo in a corset has caused a stir online, with fans flooding her with compliments. “THIS IS MY FAVORITE VARIANT,” a fan commented, unable to contain their excitement.
Another Swiftie penned, “I’m so happy that I waited. This will be my first vinyl ever, and I couldn’t be happier!!! It’s sooooo pretty!!!!” Meanwhile, Shark Tank judge Barbara Corcoran couldn’t resist posting a sweet comment as well. She wrote, “She is ‘slaying,’ as my daughter would say!”
Finally, another fan commented, “This variant is truly the showstopper, grande finale variant version… hands down!”
Additionally, the Instagram post’s caption announces that the vinyl version of the album will exclusively be available at Target. However, based on the comments, it seems like fans are unhappy with the Grammy Award-winner’s collaboration with the retail giant.
One fan wrote, “Yeah we love you Taylor but not going to Target,” with a broken heart emoticon. Another commented, “We’re not shopping at Target, even for this.” As of writing, Taylor Swift’s Instagram post has 1 million likes and 3,629 comments.
