"Since announcing her new album on August 12, she's rolled out three limited-edition vinyl variants and three CD variants available for pre-order, each with its own unique cover art, stoking Swiftie excitement for collecting them all. Swift continued with her carefully calibrated rollout this week, revealing yet another alternate album cover - but this time, the announcement came with an unexpected techie twist."
"From then on, the option to download iTunes was removed from software updates, and the existing media library was redistributed across newer apps like Apple Music, Apple Books, and Apple Podcasts. The iTunes store is still technically accessible through Apple Music, but as its own entity, iTunes only exists for Windows and older Macs. The official iTunes account on X hasn't made a peep since 2019, the same year Apple announced its symbolic death."
Taylor Swift announced The Life of a Showgirl and is selling multiple limited-edition physical formats, including three vinyl and three CD variants with unique cover art. One alternate album cover is available exclusively to preorder on iTunes, reviving the long-dormant music-download platform. iTunes was largely retired after 2019 as streaming rose and its media library moved into Apple Music, Apple Books, and Apple Podcasts, leaving the standalone iTunes app only on Windows and older Macs. Swift's fans' appetite for physical ownership has driven companies to resurrect legacy distribution channels for special releases and collectible editions.
