"About a year ago, you guys did a truly unfathomable thing," Swift wrote on Instagram Sept. 23. "Something that completely blew my mind… You gave The Life of a Showgirl the biggest first week for an album in history."

"I hope you love them, because they were born out of pure gratitude for your exuberance for and celebration of the album we made," Swift concluded. "The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore including four new songs is out on Friday and available to pre-order and save now."
