Eilish recently set down with Billboard to discuss her approach to environmental activism alongside her mother Maggie Baird. One of the topics that came up was her attempt to make vinyl more sustainable, and Eilish said it’s “really frustrating” to see that many of her peers aren’t doing the same.

“We live in this day and age where it’s very important to some artists to make all sorts of different vinyl and packaging… It’s so wasteful, and it’s irritating to me that we’re still at a point where you care that much about your numbers and you care that much about making money,” she explained.

Eilish’s latest album Happier Than Ever came out in eight vinyl variants, but their production process significantly differed from classic vinyl records. Instead of using “virgin vinyl” which contains plastic resin, Eilish relied on using 100% recycled black vinyl, recycled scraps for colored variants, and sugar cane shrink wrap to make her album rollout more eco-friendly.

Multiple outlets confirm that the records company is giving fans a major throwback with a limited-edition vinyl release of the artist’s early songs. 

Big Machine announced Wednesday that a 7-inch vinyl edition of “Teardrops on My Guitar” is available for pre-order. The limited-edition numbered release record will feature a live acoustic version from 2007 on the B-side. The pop icon’s sophomore single will be released August 30.

The announcement via Instagram follows the June 20 announcement of a vinyl release for “Tim McGraw,” Swift’s debut single which will be released August 16.
