Taylor Swift Announces New Album "The Life of a Showgirl"
Pop sensation Taylor Swift has announced her 12th studio album, titled "The Life of a Showgirl." The announcement was made during a podcast episode on Instagram, where Swift held a blurred-out version of the album cover [1][2].
The album is set to be released on October 3, 2025, as revealed during the podcast, but the official release date has not been announced yet [1]. Pre-orders for the album are now available on Swift's website, offering three options: a CD with a poster of Taylor Swift for $13, a cassette for $20, and a vinyl for $30 (RM126.99) [2].
Swift's career has been marked by numerous accolades, including an unprecedented four trophies for album of the year at the Grammys, bringing her total Grammy wins to 14 [3]. Her "Eras" tour was the first to surpass US$1 billion in revenue, demonstrating her continued success in the music industry [4].
The announcement of "The Life of a Showgirl" comes after Swift's purchase of the master recordings of her first six albums in May, giving her control of all her music after a dispute with her former record label [5]. The album cover reveal and details were shared during her appearance on the "New Heights" podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce [1][3]. Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was present during the podcast episode [6].
As fans eagerly await the release of "The Life of a Showgirl," they can look forward to another exciting chapter in Taylor Swift's illustrious career.
