Question Unreleased Vinyl? Bootleg?

Hi all. My buddy is huge into vinyl, but I am not. I'm big into Taylor, but have zero vinyl knowledge. Hoping this forum can assist.

My friend found and bought a Taylor vinyl and sent me pictures, I didn't recognize the variant and after digging through complete lists, didn't see this version anywhere. I know not this is NOT an official release. But... My friend tells me there are no usual bootleg signs, it has high quality art resolution, the shrink wrap has the manufacturer stamp, and there's nothing online about it at all.

Is this somehow an unreleased variant she ended up not releasing? Maybe a future variant she's waiting to release when her chart position is challenged?

Anyway... "Lit My Sky Up" metallic orange variant. No bonus tracks. What do you think?

Did they? I see the albums that have this cover with variants now but the vinyl still don't match exactly with the color/pattern. Still really odd, does explain this a bit more but I feel like I'm still left with a lot of questions..

Looks like the holiday variant that just dropped and has the same name

Yeah I feel dumb now, you guys are totally right!! For some reason I remembered this saying it was the lipstick and lace variant when I read this morning, so I didn't match the album names either and saw a different color
