If you’re looking to add more to your orange-filled wardrobe ahead of the anticipated release of Taylor Swift’s album The Life of a Showgirl on Oct. 3, you have the official Elizabeth Taylor Estate to thank!

Upon unveiling the tracklist of her forthcoming album, the singer-songwriter, 35, revealed that the second song is titled “Elizabeth Taylor.”

Since then, the official estate of the late Hollywood icon has released exclusive merchandise in celebration.

House of Taylor dropped a limited-edition Elizabeth Taylor Orange Collegiate Crewneck ($65) that’s a perfect purchase for both fans of Swift and Taylor alike, featuring the striking hue synonymous with the Showgirl album.

Officially licensed by Elizabeth’s estate, the vintage varsity-style sweatshirt also includes bold collegiate lettering in white against the garment’s rich orange shade that seamlessly aligns with the album’s aesthetic.

“Elizabeth Taylor,” reads the text on the front of the sweatshirt.

This collaboration pays homage to Swift’s long-standing admiration for the Hollywood icon, most notably referenced in Reputation‘s “…Ready for It?”

In the song, Swift sings, “He can be my jailor / Burton to this Taylor,” which is a nod to Taylor’s legendary romance with Richard Burton.

The iconic couple — who married twice, from 1964 to 1974, and then again from 1975 to 1976 — came into each other’s orbits while both were in respective relationships. Taylor was married to Eddie Fisher at the time, while Burton was married to Sybil Williams.

Swift announced the title of her upcoming 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl in August.

After teaming up with New Heights, the podcast hosted by her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce, to announce the record, the chart-topping artist revealed its tracklist the following day.

The 12 tracks include “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Ruin the Friendship,” “Honey,” “Actually Romantic,” “CANCELLED!”, “Eldest Daughter”, “Father Figure”, “Opalite,” “The Fate of Ophelia” and the title track featuring Sabrina Carpenter.

Swift also explained the reasoning behind the color orange.

“What is the significance behind the color orange?

Why orange?” Jason asked Swift during the episode released on Aug. 13.

“I’ve just always liked it, Jason,” Swift replied.

“It feels like energetically how my life has felt — and this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during [The Eras Tour], which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant.”

The Life of a Showgirl is out Oct. 3.
