Taylor Swift's ‘The Life of a Showgirl' album artwork outfits are fit for a Vegas stage
Taylor Swift revealed the album cover and artwork for her highly anticipated 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl,' on Wednesday — and her outfits, styled by longtime collaborator Joseph Cassell Falconer, would fit right in at a classy cabaret.
Photographed by iconic fashion shutterbugs Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the cover shows the superstar partially submerged in water while wearing a crystal-embellished Area dress and a stack of bracelets to match, including a diamond bangle by Zydo Italy.
Swift leans even more literally into her record's revue inspiration in other images, donning a towering feathered headdress in one shot and striking a showgirl's pose in a bejeweled bra top, briefs and marabou boa in another.
In one particularly arresting shot, the Grammy winner stares down the camera in a stage-ready costume bursting with pink ostrich feathers — a custom creation by The Blonds, as the brand exclusively tells Page Six Style — paired with chandelier-inspired sandals by Rene Caovilla.
And fans of Swift's sultry 'Vigilante S—t' sequence during the Eras Tour will surely appreciate the snap of her balancing on a chair in ruby earrings by Etho Maria and a crystallized maroon bodysuit, opera gloves and boots, another bespoke look from Phillipe and David Blond's New York label.
The pop queen is famous for shifting her style to suit her ever-evolving sound; her edgy 'Reputation' era was synonymous with snake prints, combat boots and camouflage patterns, for instance, while her sugary-sweet 'Lover' album was marked by iridescent sequins and pastels aplenty.
Most recently, while promoting 2024's 'The Tortured Poets Department,' Swift drew sartorial inspiration from the great female poets of the past in corsets, plaid and a parchment-and-ink color palette.
And while the pop queen's loved sparkly dresses since the start of her career in the mid-2000s, her new era's shaping up to be her glitziest, most glamorous one yet.

Logan Paul marries Nina Agdal in over-the-top Lake Como wedding — see the pics
What else would you expect from an influencer with 27 million Instagram followers? YouTube star and WWE personality Logan Paul has officially tied the knot with model and influencer Nina Agdal in a splashy, opulent Lake Como ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and plenty of over-the-top moments. The couple chose Italy's most glamorous backdrop — Lake Como — for their big day. The location held special meaning, as Paul proposed to Agdal at the luxurious Hotel Passalacqua in July 2023, where rooms start at over $2,300 a night. Their return to the region for the wedding marked a full-circle moment in their love story. Agdal wore a corseted lace gown with her hair swept into an updo, while Paul wore a white suit. The pair's 10-month-old daughter, Esme, also played a starring role in the celebration, making it a true family affair. The wedding guest list included Paul's brother, Jake, and his fiancée, Olympic skater Jutta Leerdam, 26. Logan shared a series of photos and videos with his 27 million Instagram followers, writing 'I've seriously been crying' over one emotional clip. But in true Paul family fashion, there was also a dose of chaos: Jake was filmed repeatedly punching the wedding cake and destroying it in the process, a bizarre moment that quickly went viral. "No respect for food," one commenter wrote. Another said, "Real men don't waste cake."

Sydney Sweeney Parties Hard In Blue Jeans During Boozy Night Out As She Ignores AE Ad Backlash
Sydney Sweeney recently shared photos of herself and some friends partying in Florida, while rocking blue jeans. The "Euphoria" star recently came under fire after she featured in a commercial for denim brand American Eagle, which some critics slammed as racist. Many had demanded that she release a statement or an apology, but Sydney Sweeney has ignored her critics as she returned to Instagram to promote her film "Americana." Sydney Sweeney's Boozy Night Out With Pals Sweeney flaunted her love for denim as she enjoyed a boozy night out with some pals. The "White Lotus" actress took to her Instagram account to share photos from the fun experience, and she can be seen rocking a blue denim with a white cotton crop top that flashed her toned midriff, and white sneakers. The event seemingly took place at a crowded location, as fellow partygoers were spotted scattered around in the background. Sweeney held up a tray of shots to hand out to friends in one photo. She kept her blonde hair down and is also seen holding up a microphone with a girl pal on a stage for some karaoke. "Duval diaries," she captioned the photos. The Actress's AE Controversy Surrounding The Actress Sweeney's time out with friends comes some weeks after she faced backlash for her American Eagle "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" commercial. In the ad, the 27-year-old actress made a "jeans/genes" pun, but critics argued that it supported eugenics and white supremacist rhetoric. A Salon report noted that the term "great genes" is "historically used to celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness," seemingly making the commercial "a tone-deaf marketing move." Amid the backlash from several online, Sweeney has remained silence, seemingly opting to let the issue die down. The Brand Has Responded To The Sydney Sweeney Backlash Unlike Sweeney, American has since released a statement insisting that the "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans." "Her jeans. Her story," they added. "We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone." After posting the ad on her Instagram last month, she seemingly went on a hiatus from posting amid the backlash. However, she returned 3 days ago and shared a series of pictures promoting her new film "Americana." "A few years ago, I filmed this little movie with some friends, and now you get to meet Penny Jo," she wrote in the caption. The Actress's Silence On The Ad Controversy May Be A Bad Idea In The Long Run, PR Expert Claims Although a poll showed that only 12% of Americans see the ad as controversial, crisis PR expert Eric Schiffer believes the situation bears some risk if the movie star continues to go silent about it. "Sydney's mute button is a toxic time‑bomb with some people on the left – every hour of hush hurls her wholesome brand deeper into racial quicksand," he told the Daily Mail. The CEO of Reputation Management Consultants warned that failing to speak out "will be seen as a brutal insult to many shoppers on the left." "Sydney's no‑comment stance will scream ruthless privilege to those offended, and critics feast on the void like vultures on a desert carcass," Schiffer continued. He, however, acknowledged how some conservatives may resonate well with her silence. "For conservatives, Sydney refusing to grovel denies the mob its delicious public‑shaming ritual and would be seen as a brutal power move," he said. "Because for conservatives, silence isn't weakness, it's an ironclad shield against manipulative narrative‑hijackers." Sydney Sweeney Remains Single After Split From Her Ex-Fiancé Sweeney became single again after her relationship with her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, came to an end. The pair first sparked romance rumors in 2018 before blossoming into a full relationship and even later getting engaged. However, the actress raised eyebrows earlier this year when she deleted a photo of them kissing on New Year's Eve. According to People Magazine, an insider claimed that the break-up happened after Sweeney came to realize she wasn't prepared to get married and "didn't feel right" about her connection with Davino. "She's exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects," the source said. "What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn't feel right about it," the insider continued. The source added that Sweeney "is not ready to settle down" and that her relationship with Davino "only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off." Solve the daily Crossword

Taylor Swift Super Bowl 2026 halftime performance gaining steam on prediction market after ‘New Heights' appearance

A Taylor Swift Super Bowl halftime show is gaining steam. In the days since the pop star joined boyfriend Travis Kelce's 'New Heights' podcast, the rumor mill has churned about a potential on-stage appearance at Levi's Stadium during the Big Game. And prediction markets have followed. Since Swift's podcast appearance, her odds of being the headline performer at Super Bowl 2026 have skyrocketed. 4 Taylor Swift performing on the Eras Tour. AP As recently as last Monday, Swift's chances to get the nod were just 6 percent at Kalshi, which was well behind Post Malone (19 percent) and Metallica (13 percent). Kalshi is a CFTC-licensed derivative market that allows betting on real-life events. Now, with her fans speculating that the 14-time Grammy award winner hinted toward a potential Super Bowl halftime appearance during her conversation with Kelce and his older brother, ex-Eagles star Jason Kelce, Swift is suddenly a massive favorite to get behind the mic in Santa Clara. 4 Kalshi is giving Taylor Swift a 59 percent chance to be the Super Bowl 60 halftime performer as of 12 p.m. ET on Saturday. Kalshi On Saturday afternoon, Kalshi is giving Swift a 59 percent chance to be the next halftime performer, with more than $272,000 wagered. On Friday night, she reached as high as 65 percent. Some of the so-called hints on the podcast seem far-fetched, but the Swifties are apparently convinced by how quickly Kalshi's odds shifted. Swift discussed her love of sourdough bread on the show with Kelce. The 49ers' mascot? Sourdough Sam. 4 Travis Kelce celebrated the Chiefs' Super Bowl berth with Taylor Swift in January 2024.

After Jason Swift a long introduction, the singer thanked him 'for screaming for like 47 seconds for me.' Betting on the NFL? Levi's Stadium just so happened to be her 47th stop on her 'Eras' tour. Whether she was dropping Easter eggs — or, perhaps, bread crumbs — or not, it appears a Swiftie halftime show is as real a possibility as ever. 4 Travis Kelce kissing the Lombardi Trophy.
