Swift is known for her meticulous planning, and fans quickly speculated that something significant would be disclosed on the 12th day of the month at 12:12 a.m. EST, coinciding with the countdown’s conclusion. True to her style, she unveiled the album title during an appearance on Travis Kelce's podcast ‘New Heights Show’.
According to Variety, the revelation of ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ follows Travis Kelce's Instagram post announcing Swift's guest appearance on his ‘New Heights’ podcast, co-hosted with his brother Jason.
