Taylor Swift Files Multiple Trademarks Ahead of ‘The Life of a Showgirl' Album
Hours before revealing her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, the 35-year-old pop star's company, TAS Rights Management LLC, filed to secure the acronym 'TLOAS' for a variety of goods, including music recordings, instruments, jewelry, candles, apparel, cell phone accessories and more.
According to the trademark filing, as reviewed by Complex, some of the more unexpected items in Swift's request include incense burners, wireless speakers, inflatable toys, puzzle board games, paint brushes, shoe laces, Christmas tree skirts, bean bags, and tons more.
The move isn't out of the ordinary for Swift, who has filed similar trademarks for her previous albums, and this doesn't necessarily mean every single one of these items will actually be manufactured.

Details about Showgirl, which marks Swift's twelfth studio album, are still under wraps for now.
However, fans have already begun decoding easter eggs about the LP by pointing out that her latest Spotify playlist features songs produced by Max Martin and Shellback, implying their involvement in the upcoming album.
Swift officially announced the album with a countdown on her website on Monday (Aug. 11), which expired at 12:12 a.m. the following day.
She is set to discuss the album further in an upcoming episode of the New Heights podcast co-hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce. An advance teaser of the episode saw Swift revealing the album to an unsuspecting Jason along with a blurred-out album cover.
Swift's episode of New Heights drops on Wednesday, August 13 at 7 p.m. ET.
The Life of a Showgirl is expected to be released this year.

Colorado YouTuber Basho & Friends releases new educational album for kids
What started out as a small venture has grown into 175,000 YouTube subscribers for a content creator in Colorado. He's teaching kids new words and different languages. Boulder native Basho Mosko has been making fun educational music for kids for over a decade. "I was teaching a mommy and me kind of Spanish course, and they didn't have good materials," Mosko said. "And I was like, 'I can help you make materials.' So I started writing songs that taught languages and put them on YouTube." In the YouTube world, he's known as Basho and Friends. Mosko is completely self-taught and does most of his work right here in Colorado. "I'll do a lot of the scratch tracks here. I'll lay stuff out. I'll punch some stuff out and sort of set a framework for it. And then my producer lives in Brass Valley, California," Mosko explained. Mosko's content has garnered more than 100 million views across platforms, and, while his songs are pretty catchy, Basho and Friends remains a passion project. "This isn't my full-time job," Mosko said. "I have a job at Google doing a broadcast production." Making a difference in a kids' lives, including his own, is what keeps Mosko going. "I had a couple of parents actually emailed me saying that their kids were non-verbal, or they were working with disabilities, and singing my songs was one of the first ways that they started producing language," Mosko shared. Now, the popular YouTuber for kids is dropping a new album with new meaning. It's called "A Way to Be," and it was released Friday on Spotify, YouTube and other platforms where music lives. "With this album, it was going to be another one of those 20 things you need to learn before kids start kindergarten," Mosko said. "But it kind of evolved into something more personal about 20 things that make you a good person. You know that kids around the world universally can learn about and perfect in order to be positive contributors to the world."
