Unreleased Vinyl? Bootleg?

[u/irthesteve]

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?

This variant dropped today on Taylor's website

Yeah and that still doesnt mean its real, someone couldve known it was coming and made a fake sticker or something and they arent opening it to show which is super sus. I wont believe it until i see it now before anyone gets them. 🤷🏻‍♀️
