Taylor Swift has included a reminder about Record Store Day 2024 in her Tortured Poets Department timetable, but is she releasing anything?

Record Store Day 2024 is fast approaching but is Taylor Swift releasing any exclusive vinyls this year? Here's what we know.

In case you didn't know, Taylor frequently participates in the event that encourages music fans to head to their local record stores to purchase exclusive releases of their fave artists' albums. Record Store Day takes place every year, in April. In 2024, it'll take place on April 20th.

Over the years, Taylor has released a handful of special edition vinyls for Record Store Day, encouraging her fans to buy physical albums and support local record stores. She was named the first worldwide Record Store Day ambassador in 2022.

Last year, Taylor dropped the 'Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions' live album and that limited edition vinyl was snapped up at record speeds by Swifties.

Eagle eyed fans have now noticed that she teased Record Store Day alongside 'TTPD''s release date and upcoming music video' in the Tortured Poets Department' release week timetable. Is she releasing anything though?

Is Taylor Swift releasing anything for Record Store Day 2024?

As of Thursday 18th April, it looks like there's no official Taylor Swift exclusive release for Record Store Day 2024. On RSD's website, Taylor's name does not appear on the official list of special releases.

Taylor's 'Tortured Poets Department' album will be released the day before RSD 2024 and she's already confirmed the release of five different vinyl variants. Four of those each have an exclusive bonus track, while the fifth is a clear variant of 'The Manuscript' edition.

It's unclear if she will announce a surprise special release on the day, but you never know with Taylor!

Despite the note about RSD in her 'Tortured Poets' timetable, it's possible that she was just simply reminding fans of the day and encouraging them to head out and support their local record stores.

Taylor has shared a handwritten note in honour of Record Store Day 2024, thanking fans for purchasing her vinyl. She wrote: "It's my goal to create a memento you'll want to keep forever, and I hope you'll feel that with every turn of the page of the lyric book, every secret thought poured into this book."
