It seems that the track list for Taylor Swift‘s upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” wasn’t fully revealed yet, at least not for every edition.

A different deluxe edition than the previous deluxe edition was announced Friday, featuring not only an alternate cover art but also a different exclusive track: an unannounced song called “The Bolter.”

Swift announced the new CD/vinyl variant during the opening night of a three-night stand in Australia.

The release was also shared on her X and Instagram accounts.

As customed with many of Swift’s exclusive editions and merch, the CD and vinyl double-LP that sport “The Bolter” and the different cover will be going on sale for a limited period of just a few days on her website.

The webstore page doesn’t refer to it as “the Bolter Edition,” but that’s the term Swift used when she announced it to the crowd in Melbourne.

The release also includes several bonus items with specific “Bolter” branding, including a polyester patch, bookmark, and photo cards, including excerpts of the exclusive track’s lyrics.

“The Bolter” appears on this CD and vinyl release in place of the bonus track that was announced previously for all other CD and vinyl physical editions, “The Manuscript.”

In either case, the bonuses come as a 17th track on top of the 16-song list that will be the standard for the digital download and streaming edition.

The newly revealed alternate cover art shows the artist’s face in repose on linen versus the torso-focused photo on the standard version of the album.
