Taylor Swift Announces New Album 'The Life of a Showgirl'
Taylor Swift unveils pre-pre order details for her upcoming 12th studio album
Taylor Swift, the globally acclaimed singer-songwriter, has announced her latest studio album, titled "The Life of a Showgirl." The much-anticipated release is scheduled for October 3, 2025, via Republic Records.
Album Artwork and Pre-Order
Although the cover art for the album was partially revealed in a clip shared by Travis and Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast, the full artwork has not yet been officially unveiled. Fans have been left with a blurred image from the initial announcement. However, the album is available for "pre pre-order."
Continuation of Previous Releases
"The Life of a Showgirl" follows Swift's projects like "The Tortured Poets Department," which broke her pattern of using one-word album titles. This new album continues to showcase Swift's exploration of different themes and styles, as seen in her previous works. Swift conceived "The Life of a Showgirl" during the European leg of her Eras Tour in 2024, indicating a continuation of her creative journey that started with her earlier albums.
Track Listing
The album includes 12 tracks, among them: - "The Fate of Ophelia" - "Elizabeth Taylor" - "Opalite" - "Father Figure" - "Eldest Daughter" - "Ruin the Friendship" - "Actually Romantic" - "Wi$h Li$t" - "Wood" - "Cancelled!" - "Honey" - "The Life of a Showgirl" (featuring Sabrina Carpenter)
Production Team
The album is produced by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback. Other notable contributors include Sabrina Carpenter as a featured artist and Mert and Marcus handling photography.
Swift's latest studio album is a follow-up to her last album, "The Tortured Poets Department," which sold 1.4 million copies on its first day. The album shattered records with its nearly two-year-long Eras tour that ended last year, making it the most lucrative tour in music history with earnings of $2 billion over 149 shows. Swift bought back the rights to her entire back catalog in June for an undisclosed sum, and she has been re-recording her first six studio records since 2021 to own the rights to them.
Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift's boyfriend, exclaims "TS12!" in a video related to the album. The album's title was revealed in a podcast hosted by Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce. The album artwork will be revealed at a later date. Taylor Swift posted a video clip of the album on her Instagram. The album will be available in various formats, including vinyl, CD, and cassette tape.
The Eras tour drew millions of fans and tickets for the tour were sometimes sold at exorbitant prices. The album "The Life of a Showgirl" is not yet released, with a shipping date before Oct. 13.
