Taylor Swift announces release date and other details for new album
Following the album's announcement on Tuesday, Swift's website listed that the record would ship out on 13 October, suggesting that the release date would precede that.
Now, Swift has revealed the release is officially set for 3 October.
"And baby, that's show business for you," she posted to X. "New album, The Life of a Showgirl. Out 3 October. Producers: Max Martin, Shellback and Taylor Swift."
As for the album's tracklist, it consists of 12 songs and only one featured artist. Sabrina Carpenter will join Swift for the title track, which also serves as the album closer.
Swift also unveiled four limited-edition deluxe variations of The Life Of A Showgirl on CD - all of which contain special artwork, booklets, photocards and more.
Speculation around the new album picked up in May when Swift revealed that she now had control over her entire back catalogue of music after buying back her final masters from Shamrock Holdings.
Fans took note of the line, "All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through," seizing on the fact she used "i" 12 times, which they hoped signalled a follow-up to her 11th studio record, The Tortured Poets Department.

Oprah's Favorite Water Bottle Holder Keeps You Hands-free for Hikes and City Tours
Hydration is important, but having to carry around a water bottle everywhere—especially while traveling—can be a real nuisance. Schlepping it around by hand can wear out your fingers, and holding it by the top handle can make it easy to smack into walls. Not to mention, it disappears so much more easily, as most things do when they're not attached to our bodies. The solution is to wear your water—not on your back like an ultramarathoner, but across your body in a water bottle holder, just like Oprah does. The WanderFull HydroBag—a water bottle holder that's both cute and functional—has earned a spot in her highly-anticipated Favorite Things list twice over. And now, the brand has just rolled out a bunch of cute new styles for summer (pickleball-inspired water bottle carrier, anyone?). When selecting the WanderFull HydroBag for the list in 2023, Oprah called it 'cute and multifunctional,' saying that 'it holds my water bottle when I'm hiking in Maui,' and 'for city walkabouts.' The following year—when she added it to the list again—she noted that it's also great for carrying your phone, keys, cash, and water to the gym. 'This quilted water bottle carrier, with slim zip pockets, holds only the essentials you need,' she added. This crossbody water bottle holder has a cylindrical shape that accommodates bottles up to 3.5 inches in diameter. That means it can hold most popular reusable water bottles, including the Hydro Flask Travel Tumblers, and the wide-bottomed Owala FreeSip in 32 ounces. Whether your reason for buying a water bottle carrier is to free up your hands or keep from scratching, denting, and inevitably losing your treasured $40 water vessel, this clever bottle sling serves all purposes. 'As an adult with autism, I often forget to drink water or misplace things—especially my Stanley cups. The guilt of constantly replacing them adds up, and my sweet husband works so hard to help me. That's why this product truly means so much to me,' one reviewer wrote. 'It's not just helpful—it's perfect. Stylish, functional, and absolutely adorable.' This functional crossbody bag has two zipper-secured pockets—one big enough for a large phone on the outside, and a smaller one for cards and cash on the inside. It's lined with a water-resistant material, in case your bottle leaks, and has a two-inch-thick adjustable strap. The original WanderFull HydroBag comes in a wide array of colors (39, to be exact), but the new summery styles range from black and white tropical flowers to navy with an embroidered nautical anchor emblem. One style is emerald green, complete with embroidered golf clubs and a blue, white, and green strap. Two more sporty options are donned with either tennis rackets or pickleball paddles, while other motifs include colorful coral reef prints, preppy plaids, and a New England-inspired canvas version that features a subtle red lobster. While this listing of the WanderFull HydroBag has only been on Amazon for a few months, it has already garnered a few impressive five-star reviews. One shopper who bought it for the U.S. Open said that they've already gotten 'so many compliments.' adding that it's lightweight and very convenient to use. One shopper who purchased it to wear at Mardi Gras parades gave it a five-star rating, sharing that it had enough space for not just their water bottle but their 'cell phone, ID and debit cards, lip balm, pack of gum, sunscreen, and hair accessories.' They wrote they 'will absolutely use [it] again in a tourist/travel situation.' Plenty of people think that the Oprah-approved WanderFull HydroBag is well worth its $69 price tag—but if you're looking to find a similar bag for less, we found a few options starting at just $22 on Amazon, below. At the time of publishing, the price started at $69. Love a great deal? Sign up for our T+L Recommends newsletter and we'll send you our favorite travel products each week.

San Quentin Media Fest raises funds to help people incarcerated perfect their craft
San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, formerly known as San Quentin State Prison, was known as America's most dangerous prison. Now it's working to help inmates learn skills that they can leverage once released, including filmmaking. "We just out here showing people that just because we made a mistake, don't mean that we are a mistake," said Dante D. Jones. Jones organized the San Quentin Media Fest, but his path to that position took some detours. "I was locked up for 17 years," explained Jones. "When I first came in, there was not even an inkling of an idea that something like the Media Center at San Quentin existed. I was there at San Quentin for about three years. It's where I got my bones in the media world." The Media Center at San Quentin gave him more reason to want to get out. "I didn't know what I wanted to be really, but I found out editing and video, that's my passion," said Jones. "That's what I do. That's what I love to do." He made that dream come true. Now he's working as a videography intern at KALW, Bay Area Public Media. The San Quentin Media Fest is his way to give back. It's a fundraiser for the San Quentin State Prison Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists of Northern California, featuring original short films written and produced by incarcerated and formerly incarcerated filmmakers, curated by Jones. "We're taking control of our own narrative," said Jones. "We're taking control of our own story and allowing people to see who we are as people rather than formerly incarcerated or what they consider criminals. That's the point of having this whole fundraiser because there's guys in there that are in there doing what we were doing in there and trying to do what we're doing now." The funds will help people still incarcerated perfect their craft, so they can get jobs after their release. KALW Executive Producer Ben Trefny was happy to lend their space. "To see the work people are doing and have done inside the Media Center of San Quentin, it's a real treat to see," said Trefny. KALW has been working with people at San Quentin since 2012, providing journalism and communication training. They also hire formerly incarcerated people, like Jones. "Everybody deserves a chance for sure," said Trefny. "I think that, from my experience, and I've been going into San Quentin for over a decade now, almost everybody who I meet there, the reason why they're in prison is because of the worst moment of their lives. We've all had a lot of really bad moments in our lives and for some people, it ends up landing them behind bars." Jones says the people who are utilizing the rehabilitation services at San Quentin, like he did, are trying to make good and they deserve opportunities and support. "Understand that people are in there, trying to change their lives, trying to get right with themselves and understand who they are and trying to be productive citizens once they reach the street," explained Jones.
