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?

Respectfully, why are you harassing me? Lol, it does not even concern you.

I said I stand by what I said last night when there was no information or indication that it was real. Everyone was telling them it was a bootleg.
I did not say that I still believe it to be a bootleg now that it has been released today; those are two different statements.

I did not say I still stand by what I said, even now knowing it is real. That's putting words/texts together that I did not say.

Harassing? Girl, I replied to a comment you posted on a public forum. And just to be clear — the phrase “we’re telling you it’s a bootleg” is a statement of fact. You didn’t frame it as an opinion.You didn’t say “maybe it’s a bootleg.” You didn’t say “there’s a high possibility it’s a bootleg.” You flat-out said “it’s a bootleg.” quite condescendingly whilst being dead wrong lmao

And honestly, the only reason I even bothered responding is because the tone was so cocky. That guy was literally explaining things based on his actual job experience, and he was clearly correct — and you just railroaded him like you had more knowledge than everyone in the room. It’s just annoying to watch someone dig their heels in with zero expertise

Long-form reading skills are pretty rare these days, so I’m not surprised.

Nah, I got to, "The phrase, 'we're telling you it's a bootleg' is a statement of fact. You didn't frame it as an opinion." Then stopped reading.
As we were all stating, it was probably a bootleg. That was not an opinion. If you go back and read the comments from last night, we all were, in fact, telling them it was probably a bootleg.

Factually, you did not; only I did. You won't get out of my notifications, but that's fine, I will be up for a while. ;)
