Sabrina Carpenter is 'freaking out' over Taylor Swift collaboration
It's been confirmed the Espresso hitmaker will be the sole artist with a guest spot on the 35-year-old singer's upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, which will be released on October 3.
Taylor unveiled the tracklisting for her 12th record, and Sabrina, 26, will appear on the title track, which concludes the LP.
Sharing the news on her Instagram Story, Sabrina wrote: "I know someone who's freaking out and it's me."
The first six songs on the album are The Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, Opalite, Father Figure, Eldest Daughter and Ruin The Friendship.
On the second half of the album, she has confirmed the titles as Actually Romantic, Wi$h Li$t, Wood, CANCELLED!, Honey and The Life of a Showgirl.
Sabrina was recently the opener for a leg of Taylor's Eras Tour, and she previously heaped praise on her idol.
She told Rolling Stone magazine last year: "I hold her to such a different echelon.
"I could never compare my life, my career, my trajectory to anything close to what she's done."
Taylor enlisted her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce to reveal the title of her upcoming 12th studio LP, with the brothers sharing the news in a teaser for the Karma hitmaker's appearance on their New Heights podcast.
On the podcast itself, Taylor revealed she wrote the record while on her Eras Tour.
She said: "I wanted to sort of like glamourise all the different aspects of how that tour felt.
"And that's how that felt to me at the end of the night, when all this has gone down."
Whereas her last album, The Tortured Poets Department, was followed by an expanded double LP just two hours after its release, Taylor confirmed the new collection will only feature 12 songs.
She explained: "There are no other songs coming … with Tortured Poets Department, I was like, 'Here is a data dump of everything I have thought, felt, experienced in two or three years. Here's 31 songs.'
"This is 12. There's not a 13th, there's not other ones coming. This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time.'

George Michael would have approved of Taylor Swift tribute
George Michael's former partner believes the late singer would have been proud of Taylor Swift's upcoming tribute. The Bad Blood hitmaker announced her long-awaited new album, The Life of a Showgirl, earlier this week and among the tracks is a song called Father Figure, which will feature the melody from George's 1987 track of the same name. Kenny Goss - who was in a relationship with George from 1996 to 2009 - told TMZ the Careless Whisper singer would have totally approved of Taylor's song and while he never met the 35-year-old pop star before his death in 2016, the art dealer is pretty sure his former partner would have been a fan and appreciated someone of her standing taking an interest in his work. Kenny himself is a big fan of Taylor's music and though he had no idea she planned to interpolate Father Figure on her new album, it was a welcome surprise. Taylor announced The Life of a Showgirl earlier this week and has explained the prominent use of the colour orange in the artwork and promotional teasers for the record. During an appearance on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, she said: "I've just always liked it ... It feels like energetically how my life has felt - and this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during [The Eras Tour], which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant." The Karma singer also talked about the album's artwork, which shows her wearing a jewelled costume under the water in a bath and confessed the picture represents her at the end of a concert night because she always ends with a soak in the tub. She explained: "This represents the end of my night ... My show days are the same every single day, I just have a different city. And my day ends with me in a bathtub - not usually in a bedazzled dress ... [The album represents] the life beyond the show ... I would say it's everything that was going on behind the curtain." The Life of a Showgirl will be released on 3 October.

Taylor Swift has explained the orange theme for her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl. The singer is returning with her latest record - which is due for release on October 3 - and she opened up about her use of the colour orange in the artwork and the promotional teasers explaining the hue represents how she was feeling while making the record during The Eras Tour which was "exuberant and electric and vibrant". During an appearance on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, Taylor was asked about the significance of the colour orange and she replied: "I've just always liked it ... It feels like energetically how my life has felt - and this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during [The Eras Tour], which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant." Taylor went on to talk about reuniting with producers Max Martin and Shellback for her 12th studio LP after previously working with the pair on her albums Red, 1989, and Reputation. She said: "One of the things about this record is, like, it's a record I made with my mentor Max Martin and Shellback. The three of us have made some of my favorite songs that I have ever done before. "They were my main collaborators on my Red album. We did We Are Never Getting Back Together, I Knew You Were Trouble, 22, Shake It Off, Blank Space, Style, Wildest Dreams, Ready for It, Delicate." She added of the paid: "They're just geniuses".

Taylor Swift's Orange Era: How you can prepare for The Life of a Showgirl
Swifties, it's time to shine once again - Taylor Swift has officially entered her next era. Appearing on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast on August 12, Swift announced a brand new album: The Life of a Showgirl. Naturally, fans wasted no time hunting for her trademark Easter eggs in the announcement video. The biggest one? The colour orange. In addition to the album reveal, an orange T.S sign was spotted in the background as well as some on the books on the bookshelf - and even Taylor's shade of lip gloss. And the more we learn about Swift's surprise album drop, the clearer it becomes - orange isn't just the colour of her next era, it's a statement. Many fans see it as a subtle nod to boyfriend Travis Kelce. His NFL team, the Kansas City Chiefs' colours are red and white, and what do you get when you mix red and white? Orange. Others think it's more directed at her fanbase. The bright, bold orange signals a shift in her music, artistry and life from the deeply emotional previous album The Tortured Poets Department. Then there's the simplest explanation: orange is a colour linked to the world of showgirls, burlesque and cabaret – hence the album title. With the album set to drop on October 3, 2025, we've rounded up the best orange finds - from clothes and shoes to jewellery and home decor - to help you channel Swift's latest aesthetic. We're also diving into the burning questions dominating social media, from the hidden meanings in the cover art to the title track's links to her NFL beau.

Everything you need to know about Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl What do we know about Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl? After teasing her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl on Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast New Heights, we've learnt plenty of information and uncovered some interesting Easter eggs. Here is everything we know and what you can expect from the new album: This is Taylor Swift's 12th studio album, following her highly successful The Tortured Poets Department album released in April 2024. It will be released on October 3, 2025 – a symbolic date as it is the 3rd day of the 10th month, and 10 plus 3 is 13 which Swifties know is Taylor's favourite number. The album was written and recorded during the European leg of her Eras Tour. Swift said 'I would be playing shows, I'd do like three shows in a row, I'd have three days off, I'd fly to Sweden, go back on tour. And actually working on this I was physically exhausted at this point of the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating'. The album cover shows Swift bejewelled in mint green water with a shattered glass effect and the album title written in bold glittering orange. The vinyl disc is also orange. Taylor has released album art that features orange, red and black. Orange is meaningful to the singer and her relationship with Travis Kelce as the colours of his NFL team The Kansas City Chiefs is red and white – mix those colours together and you get orange. Swift revealed the album comes from an 'infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place'. Themes will likely surround the ideas of cabaret, old Hollywood, show business and fame. This is a significantly different tone compared to her last album, which was more introspective and reflective of her inner life. Sabrina Carpenter is featured on the title track, which is the 12th song in the track list. It will be available as a CD (with a poster included), on cassette, on vinyl and on music streaming services. Four limited edition vinyl albums with unique cover art will be available to purchase. The same producers behind Red, Reputation and 1989 Max Martin and Shellback are also working with Taylor again for this album. Why is the colour orange so important? From the minute the teaser dropped, many spotted how prominent the colour orange was, and as fans know, Taylor does not do anything without it having some sort of meaning and symbolism. There are a few theories surrounding why orange plays a major role. What most are pointing to is its significance to her relationship with boyfriend Travis Kelce. His NFL team, The Kansas City Chiefs, play in the colours red and white. When you put those colours together, you get orange. Another is more straightforward – orange is often tied to showgirls, cabaret and burlesque. A third simple explanation is that it is a definitive contrast from The Tortured Poets Department to represent an emotional and artistic shift. Does the mint green on the album cover have any significance? Mint green is also theorised to play a part in the meaning of the album. Some have thought that it represents a contrast between onstage and offstage appearances, as orange and green are very different colours. Others think it has to do with a rebirth of her artistry after her mega Eras Tour, with green frequently associated with healing, growing and a new beginning. What is the release date of The Life of a Showgirl? The Life of a Showgirl will be released in Australia and around the world on October 3, 2025. What are the songs appearing on The Life of a Showgirl? There are 12 songs on the track list of The Life of a Showgirl – and while Taylor Swift is often linked to the number 13, there are only 12 as it is her 12th studio album. Here are the songs featured on the album: 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) The Tortured Ports Department had a surprise second album drop, and a total 31 songs, though at this stage, no other songs are expected to be released other than this initial 12.
