Taylor Swift's new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," has set a record for first-week sales, selling over four million album units.
As
Swift proclaims on her new album's fifth track, "Eldest Daughter:" "I'm not a bad b*tch" — but she sure is a savvy businesswoman.
Swift and her team took advantage of the growing popularity of vinyl and CDs, as noted by The Atlantic's Spencer Kornhaber, who called it the
"unexpected byproduct of streaming".
These are just a few of the 30-plus album variants released for "The Life of a Showgirl," which would cost approximately $868 to purchase all of.
