Record Store Day 2023: Taylor Swift's Absence Surprises Fans
Exclusive Vinyl Releases Announced, but Swift Not Included
Saturday, April 22, Marks Annual Celebration of Independent Record Stores
The annual celebration of independent record stores, Record Store Day 2023, is fast approaching on Saturday, April 22. Over 1400 stores will participate, offering exclusive vinyl LP releases from various artists.
However, fans of Taylor Swift were disappointed to learn that the singer-songwriter is not included on the official list of exclusives for Record Store Day 2023. Swift's October 2022 release of her 10th studio album, "Midnights," broke records on Spotify and Apple, making her one of the most popular artists of the year.
As of Thursday, April 18th, there was no official word from Swift or her representatives regarding a possible Record Store Day release. Fans had been eagerly anticipating a new vinyl release to add to their collections, but it appears that they will have to wait for another opportunity.
Despite Taylor Swift's absence, Record Store Day 2023 promises to be a special event for music lovers. Independent record stores are cultural hubs that foster a sense of community and support local artists. By visiting these stores, shoppers can discover new music, connect with fellow music enthusiasts, and support the preservation of the physical music format.
Some of the exclusive releases for Record Store Day 2023 include vinyl from Arctic Monkeys, The Beatles, David Bowie, Elton John, Jack White, and many more. Fans are encouraged to check with their local record stores for a complete list of participating artists and available exclusives.
While Taylor Swift's omission from the Record Store Day 2023 lineup is disappointing, it does not diminish the significance and excitement surrounding this annual event. Independent record stores play a vital role in the music industry, and supporting them is essential for the continued success of physical music formats.
