Los Angeles, Aug 14 (NationPress) Grammy-winning artist Taylor Swift has announced that her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, is set to debut on October 3.
Swift shared this exciting news on Instagram, revealing the album cover art.
The cover features the “Fortnight” superstar in a dazzling one-piece with cut-outs, lounging in water while elegantly resting her hand on her head. Her iconic red lips and bold smoky eye makeup complete the look, as reported by people.com.
In her post, she wrote, “And, baby, that’s show business for you. New album The Life of a Showgirl. Out October 3.”
The album is a collaboration between Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback.
In subsequent images, Swift embodies her showgirl persona with rhinestones, feathers, and coordinating headpieces.
Additionally, she revealed the tracklist, which includes a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track. Other songs featured are “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Ruin the Friendship,” “Honey,” “Actually Romantic,” “CANCELLED!,” “Eldest Daughter,” “Father Figure,” “Opalite,” and “The Fate of Ophelia.”
Swift initially announced her upcoming LP through an Instagram video teaser on the New Heights podcast, co-hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce.
In the video, Swift asks, “Can I show you something?”
Jason responds, “Okay. What do we got? We got a briefcase? Mint green, with T.S. on it.” The “Fortnight” hitmaker confirms this.
When asked what is inside the briefcase, Swift replies, “This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.”
Travis cheers, “TS 12!”
At that moment, the album cover remained a mystery, but Swift's website later displayed blurred mint green and orange LP artwork, along with options to purchase vinyl, cassette, and CD versions. The CD edition will include a poster.
In the background of the video, various books with orange covers, including works by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marc Chagall, and Ruth Asawa, were visible.
Swift's last album, The Tortured Poets Department, was released in 2024.
