Taylor Swift Announces New Album 'The Life of a Showgirl'
Taylor Swift, the globally acclaimed pop sensation, has announced her 12th studio album titled 'The Life of a Showgirl'. The album is set for release on October 3, 2025 13.
The album's title and pre-order announcement were revealed in a teaser clip for the 'New Heights' podcast, where Swift appeared alongside Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce 4. The Vegas-inspired cover art, featuring a showbiz theme, was later unveiled on her official website and Instagram 2.
The album follows Swift’s previous release, "The Tortured Poets Department," and has been described by her as the record she cares about most and has wanted to make for a very long time 2.
The countdown to 'The Life of a Showgirl' has officially begun, with a teaser featuring a sparkling orange background and the words "EXPIRES AUGUST 12 AT 12.12AM ET" 4. The album's title and the countdown were preceded by Taylor Nation sharing 12 orange-themed photos of Taylor Swift on her official fan account, a not-so-subtle nod to her 12th record 4.
In a post on Taylor Nation's account, Swift said, "See you next era..." 6. The album's release comes after her record-breaking Eras Tour and her 11th record, Midnights (2022), which earned her a record-breaking fourth Grammy for Album of the Year 7.
The authenticity of a leaked tracklist for 'The Life of a Showgirl' is uncertain 8. Swift's fans, also known as Swifties, have been in a frenzy since the announcement 9. The product description for the pre-order states that the depiction of the album cover is a blurred digital rendering for pre-pre-order purposes only 2.
Swift's next album is expected to follow her record-breaking Eras Tour, which spent 17 weeks atop the Billboard 200 with her 10th album, The Tortured Poets Department (2024) 10. The album is available for pre-order, and more details are expected to be revealed in the coming months.
