In the caption, she expressed her gratitude. “Feels very surreal to say, but the 25th anniversary of Glitter is here, and I get to celebrate with you, my lambs. There was a time when I couldn’t even acknowledge this project, but thanks to the lambs who made #JusticeForGlitter happen, I now can look back at this album with pride and a big smile on my face,” she wrote.
She continued, “The making of this album was filled with so much joy, and I’m so happy that it’s back out in the world for us to enjoy. For this deluxe edition, I loved going back in the vault and finding demos, a fun live medley, and a couple of unreleased songs that I always felt belonged on the original album.” Needless to say, fans are absolutely thrilled!
