Taylor Swift officially announced an alternative deluxe edition of her forthcoming album The Tortured Poets Department on Friday morning.
It came after the 34-year-old songstress had previously announced the additional CD/vinyl to her audience during the opening night of the Australian leg of her Eras tour.
The Bolter features different cover art and a different exclusive track — a previously unannounced song called The Bolter.
Swift shared the new information on X and Instagram, uploading two new closeup photos, including one that showed her lying in bed.
The collectors edition deluxe copies will be available for purchase for a limited time on Swift’s website.

Taylor kicked off a three-show Australian run of her concert in Melbourne on Thursday night
Thursday night’s show marked Taylor’s biggest show ever as almost 100,000 fans descended on Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Despite the singer already having performed at huge sporting stadiums across the US, the opening night of her Australian tour broke records, as she had previously never performed to a crowd larger than 74,000.
It’s the star’s first time bringing a tour down under since 2018 and 96,000 of her fans attended the performance.
Taylor reacted to breaking her personal record by stating: ‘This is the biggest show we’ve done on this tour or any tour I have ever done!
‘That’s the version you get of me tonight, the version that is completely star-struck by the fact that so many of you wanted to hang out with us on Saturday night in Melbourne!’
