Happy holi-Tay, Swifties!
Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” dropped at midnight, and everyone is celebrating.
National food brands are offering discounts, freebies and limited-edition goodies in honor of the highly anticipated album release.
But grab them while you can — the promotions are very limited.
Here are some of the deals to add to your “Wi$h Li$t“:

From now through Oct. 5, fans can go to Insomnia Cookies to get an exclusive 13-pack to celebrate “The Life of a Showgirl.” The offer is the cookie company’s 12-pack plus one free cookie, and customers will also get a “In My Late Night Era” sticker while supplies last.
