The artist will celebrate Record Store Day 2026 with a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl of ‘Elizabeth Taylor’, one of the most beloved tracks from her latest album.
Taylor Swift once again highlights her connection to physical formats and collector culture by announcing an exclusive vinyl release of ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ for Record Store Day 2026. The special edition will be available on 18 April, the official date of the annual event honouring independent record shops worldwide.
The 36-year-old singer will unveil a version titled “Cry My Eyes Violet Glitter Vinyl”, a 7-inch record featuring both the original track and the So Glamorous Cabaret Version — a reinterpretation that has already generated strong anticipation among fans. The release will also include collectible cover artwork, turning it into a coveted item for vinyl enthusiasts and dedicated followers alike.
‘Elizabeth Taylor’, featured on her most recent studio album, has quickly become a fan favourite, fuelling speculation about a potential official single release. The vinyl announcement has reignited conversations about the song’s meaning and its possible commercial trajectory beyond the album cycle.
The launch arrives during an especially strong moment in Swift’s career. She recently secured her fourteenth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, further cementing her status as one of the most influential figures in contemporary music. The singer herself described the milestone as particularly meaningful within her artistic journey.
With this Record Store Day edition, Swift not only celebrates the enduring appeal of vinyl but also reinforces her strategy of blending nostalgia, exclusivity and storytelling with each new release.
