Taylor Swift reveals her upcoming twelfth album titled 'The Life of a Showgirl'
Taylor Swift, the globally acclaimed singer-songwriter, has announced her 12th studio album, titled "The Life of a Showgirl." The much-anticipated release is scheduled for October 3, 2025, as confirmed by the artist herself and her record label, Republic Records.
The announcement was made in August 2025, with pre-orders already available for the album. The album's title and release date were revealed through social media and other promotional means, with Swift teasing her fans by wearing orange in every image of a TikTok slide show.
"The Life of a Showgirl" is expected to be more than just a conventional album, following Swift's trend of rerecording and releasing her albums to regain control of her music. The project was instigated by the purchase and sale of her early catalog by Hybe America CEO Scooter Braun.
The album will feature production by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback, and it is rumoured to include new music, Easter eggs, and visuals that deepen the understanding of her work.
In addition to the standard edition, a special limited vinyl edition of the album will be available in "Portofino orange glitter." Fans can also pre-order a special cassette edition of the album.
Swift's rerecorded albums have been massive commercial and cultural successes, each one debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. "The Life of a Showgirl" is expected to follow suit, given the excitement surrounding its release.
In other news, Swift will appear on the "New Heights" podcast, hosted by Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce. A teaser video for her appearance on the podcast shows her pulling the album from a briefcase, with the actual album artwork blurred.
"The Life of a Showgirl" marks Swift's first release since she purchased her catalog of recordings from Shamrock Capital. The album was announced during the 2024 Grammys, and it follows her last year's album "The Tortured Poets Department." The album was released during Swift's record-breaking tour, which grossed over $2.2 billion across two years and five continents.
