Taylor Swift Lullaby Album Gets Vinyl Release

October 20, 2024 3

The Rockabye Baby! series has introduced a new vinyl release featuring lullaby renditions of Taylor Swift’s songs, titled Lullaby Renditions of Taylor Swift, Volume 2. This album transforms some of Swift’s most iconic hits into gentle, soothing instrumental versions designed for babies and toddlers, making it ideal for bedtime or quiet moments. The vinyl release is especially exciting for Taylor Swift fans and vinyl collectors, offering a unique way to experience her music in a calming format.

The Rockabye Baby! series is well-known for converting popular songs across various genres into lullabies, and their second Taylor Swift volume continues this tradition. The album includes instrumental renditions of hits like “Blank Space,” “Shake It Off,” “Bad Blood,” and more. These adaptations use soft, melodic tones that replace Swift’s signature vocals with gentle xylophones, marimbas, and other calming instruments. The idea is to maintain the recognizable melodies of Swift’s songs while making them suitable for babies and young children, helping them relax and sleep.

This vinyl release caters not only to parents but also to Swift’s dedicated fanbase, many of whom are collectors of vinyl records and memorabilia. It provides an opportunity for fans to enjoy Swift’s music in a new context while sharing it with the next generation. For those looking to add a unique piece to their Taylor Swift collection, this lullaby album serves as both a nostalgic and practical offering.

With the increasing demand for vinyl records and the enduring popularity of Taylor Swift, this release is expected to appeal to both new parents and die-hard Swifties alike, adding a comforting and creative spin to her extensive catalog.

Sweet, instrumental reimaginings of “Fortnight,” “Wildest Dreams,” “August,” “Cardigan” and “Lover” are included on the release, as well as gentle lullaby versions of dynamic pop hits like “Cruel Summer” and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

The new release, found on Rockabye Baby!’s website for $30, features clear and purple color-in-color vinyl, a full-color sleeve, a fold-out, poster-sized coloring page and a digital download card. The sleeve cover is a play on Swift’s tour poster design, swapping teddy bears in for the many eras of Swift. It follows 2015’s Lullaby Renditions of Taylor Swift, Rockabye Baby!’s first set of Swift-themed lullabies.

Swift, who will officially release her The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology album on vinyl on Black Friday, resumed hers Eras Tour this weekend with three concerts in Miami following a two-month break.

She’ll bring the show to New Orleans next, which will be followed by performances in Indianapolis, Toronto and Vancouver (where on Dec. 8 she’ll officially wrap the tour). Get a preview of “Cruel Summer” as a lullaby and see the full track list below.
