Swift chose Kelce's podcast as a platform to reveal her next album and usher in a new era, rather than do so on her own social media channels or at a live event. The singer has been strategic about when and where she reveals new music in the past, and she announced her most recent album, "The Tortured Poets Department," on stage at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Before that, Swift revealed her 2022 album "Midnights" in a speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Taylor Swift album comes after music catalog ownership announcement "The Life of a Showgirl" will be Swift's first time releasing new music since she became the owner of her entire catalog. In May, she revealed she gained ownership of all her old albums following a dispute with former music manager Scooter Braun. "All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me," she said at the time. Taylor Swift announces new album: What to know about 'The Life of a Showgirl' Before this, Swift had been in the process of rerecording her first six albums so that she would own all of her music. Swift's self-titled 2006 debut album and her 2017 album "Reputation" were the only ones that had not yet been rereleased. In her May announcement, the pop star told fans that she had already rerecorded "Taylor Swift" and may still put it out. She also said she had not yet finished rerecording "Reputation" but still planned to release previously unheard "vault" tracks from that original album. "Those 2 albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about," she wrote in a letter to fans. "But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now."
