\n\tTaylor Swift<\/a> has always been a big supporter of Record Store Day, and 2026 is no exception. On Monday (March 2), the event supporting local vinyl shops announced a special release for this year\u2019s iteration: a single disc for one of the pop star\u2019s fan-favorite Life of a Showgirl tracks.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe exclusive 7-inch record will feature \u201cElizabeth Taylor\u201d \u2014 the third track on Swift\u2019s 2025 Billboard 200<\/a>-topping album \u2014 isolated as a single away from the rest of the LP, pressed onto a galactic purple-and-blue vinyl. \u201cRecord Store Day just got\u2026 So Glamorous,\u201d reads the announcement on RSD\u2019s Instagram, which shows off the product\u2019s black-and-white cover art.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe disc\u2019s official title is the \u201cCry My Eyes Violet Glitter\u201d vinyl, referencing one of the lyrics on \u201cElizabeth Taylor.\u201d The song dropped on Oct. 3, along with the rest of The Life of a Showgirl, which went on to spend 12 weeks at No. 1 on the albums chart. <\/p>\n

\n\tSo far, both \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d and \u201cOpalite\u201d from the LP have topped the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>, while \u201cElizabeth Taylor\u201d debuted at No. 3 on the tally. As its title suggests, the latter takes inspiration from the life of one of Swift\u2019s idols, the indigo-eyed Hollywood legend behind iconic films such as Cleopatra and Who\u2019s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Following the song\u2019s release, Taylor\u2019s son Christopher Wilding had nothing but praise <\/a>for Swift\u2019s tribute to his mother.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey are both the very embodiment of female empowerment,\u201d he said in October. \u201cThe way [Swift] has deftly captured the similarities and parallel tracks in their careers and personal lives is delightful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 14-time Grammy winner is known for taking part in Record Store Day, which facilitates special vinyl releases at participating record shops. Last year, Swift and Post Malone\u2019s \u201cFortnight\u201d single disc was one of the event\u2019s top sellers<\/a>, while in 2022, she made moves<\/a> on Billboard\u2018s charts with the RSD release of Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions on vinyl.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis spring, Record Store Day will take place on April 18.<\/p>\n
