Taylor Swift took to her official Instagram to announce the acoustic CDs, captioning:
"File this under “save your best for the finale”… I think my favorite moments from the tour were the acoustic surprises. So I went back into the studio with Max and Shellback to record acoustic/unplugged versions of a few of the Showgirl songs with brand new vocals and production! Cannot WAIT for you to hear: ❤️🔥 Life Is A Song Acoustic Version with “Opalite (Life Is A Song Acoustic Version)” and “Ruin the Friendship (My Advice Version)” ❤️🔥 Dressing Room Rehearsal Version with “Wi$h Li$t (Settled Down Acoustic Version)” and “The Life of a Showgirl (Dressing Room Rehearsal Acoustic Version)”"
The post continued:
"❤️🔥 Alone In My Tower Acoustic Version with “The Fate of Ophelia (Alone In My Tower Acoustic Version)” and “Eldest Daughter (Now You’re Home Acoustic Version)” ❤️🔥 So Glamorous Cabaret Version with “Elizabeth Taylor (So Glamorous Cabaret Version)” and Elizabeth Taylor (Original Songwriting Voice Memo) Four limited CD releases each including two acoustic bonus tracks on my site now for 24 hours while supplies last."
Netizens were quick to take to the matter on X (formerly Twitter) to pen their opinions. Below are some of their reactions:
"She really said curtains down, spotlight soft, and here’s four more ways to cry over the same setlist-but unplugged. ❤️🔥", declared a netizen.
