Taylor Swift Record Store Day drop

Taylor Swift is releasing a limited 7-inch vinyl single of “Elizabeth Taylor” for Record Store Day on Saturday, April 18. (recordstoreday.com) The official Record Store Day listing says the single is pressed on “Cry My Eyes Violet Glitter” vinyl and comes with collectible cover artwork. Side A is “Elizabeth Taylor,” and Side B is “Elizabeth Taylor (So Glamorous Cabaret Version).” (recordstoreday.com) Record Store Day says the release will be sold through participating independent record stores as part of the annual event, which began in 2008 and now spans roughly 1,400 stores in the United States and thousands more internationally. (recordstoreday.com 1) (recordstoreday.com 2) Swift’s single is part of the April 18, 2026 official list, which includes more than 350 special releases across formats including LPs, EPs and 7-inch singles. TechRadar and Yahoo both singled it out this week as one of the most in-demand titles on the schedule. (recordstoreday.com) (techradar.com) (creators.yahoo.com) Billboard reported in March that “Elizabeth Taylor” is the third track from Swift’s 2025 album *The Life of a Showgirl*, and that the Record Store Day pressing pulls the song out as a standalone single. Yahoo’s preview says the B-side is an alternate “cabaret” version rather than a non-album track. (billboard.com) (creators.yahoo.com) The release follows a pattern for Swift on Record Store Day. Her official artist page on the event’s site lists earlier exclusives including “the lakes” in 2022 and *folklore: the long pond studio sessions* in 2023, both of which became major collector targets. (recordstoreday.com) Record Store Day’s product page also notes that the artwork shown is a digital rendering and that each copy may vary slightly in coloration because of the custom manufacturing process. That means the violet glitter effect may not look identical from one record to the next. (recordstoreday.com) For fans, the practical detail is simple: this is an in-store Record Store Day exclusive scheduled for April 18, not a standard online drop. For stores, it is the kind of short-run Taylor Swift release that can drive early lines before doors open. (recordstoreday.com) (creators.yahoo.com)
