Swift announced a deluxe version of her "The Life of a Showgirl" album with a previously unseen shot from the original, glam shoot.
Taylor Swift isn’t ready to move on from her showgirl era. In fact, she’s still living in a world of glitter, fringe, sparkle and opulence.
Less than 24 hours after announcing a new single called “Patient Zero,” Swift took to social media to announce that the song is actually part of a deluxe version of “The Life of a Showgirl” called “The Encore,” featuring a total of four songs.
For the announcement, Swift picked an unseen shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott from the eye-popping original album visuals, dancing in front of a fuchsia curtain wearing a micro-mini golden fringe dress by Nicolas Jebran, paired with metallic mesh Rene Caovilla heels ($2,050).
