Target has announced the availability of a Target-exclusive vinyl edition of Taylor Swift's upcoming album, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' for pre-order. This vinyl version, named Phantom Clear Vinyl, will be exclusively sold at Target's online and physical stores. The announcement was made by Target on Instagram, revealing that the Phantom Clear Vinyl will come with a 24-page book-bound jacket, a replica of Swift's handwritten lyrics, never-before-seen photos, and a bonus track titled 'The Manuscript.'
Swift has been using her world tour stages to unveil special editions of her new album. Recently, during a performance in Sydney, she introduced 'The Black Dog' version, which is said to be the third and 'final' limited special edition of the album. Prior to that, she revealed the 'Albatross' version and the alternate 'Bolter' edition, each featuring a previously unreleased song and alternate cover art. While these special editions were exclusively available for a limited time on Swift's webstore, the Target-exclusive vinyl is currently open for pre-orders on their website.
The announcement of 'The Tortured Poets Department' came as a surprise to Swift's fans when she disclosed the release date of April 19th while accepting an award at the Grammys. Swift expressed her gratitude to her fans by sharing this secret that she had kept for two years. The album will be accompanied by a world tour, the 'Eras Tour,' which is scheduled to continue until August 17th.
For fans eager to experience Swift's latest musical offering in a unique format, the Target-exclusive vinyl edition presents an opportunity to own a special version of 'The Tortured Poets Department' with exclusive content and a distinctive Phantom Clear Vinyl design.
