The next question for Taylor Swift fans is will she be hitting the road and bringing "The Life of a Showgirl" to a stadium stage?
With the exception of "Folklore" and "Evermore" (which came out as surprises during the COVID-19 pandemic) and "The Tortured Poets Department" (which came out while she was halfway through the Eras Tour), there has always been a tour or concerts associated with her albums.
Even "Lover" was supposed to have "Loverfest" before the world shut down. And she was performing at venues during her first, self-titled era.
Taylor Swift announces new album: What to know about 'The Life of a Showgirl'
While nothing has been confirmed by Swift or her team, here is a list of when her albums were released and concerts were announcement:
The average time between an album release and a tour announcement is 22 days. Questions for Swifties to ponder include: Would she incorporate one of her most recent trademarks, "Female Rage: The Musical," which includes a section on live music? Would she do a shorter stint like Beyoncé did with "Cowboy Carter," bringing the excitement to nine cities? Would she do a residency like the Backstreet Boys are doing at the Las Vegas Sphere?

Will Taylor Swift be the next Super Bowl halftime performer? Here's why fans think so
Did Taylor Swift leave her fans breadcrumbs indicating she will be heading to her third Super Bowl in three years, but this time as the halftime entertainer? It's possible the timing could be right for the singer. In 2022, TMZ reported that sources with direct knowledge said the singer was asked to perform, but "she didn't want to perform until she finished rerecording all of her first six albums." In May, the "Showgirl" announced she had purchased her entire catalog from Shamrock Capital, telling fans all of her music belonged to her. And now fans think there were clues during her recent appearance on the "New Heights" podcast that pointed toward Miss Americana bringing her 12 eras to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8. Swift told Jason Kelce that she's "really talking about bread 60% of the time" before diving into the sourdough loaves she bakes and comes up with clever puns for like "Are you bready for it?" or "It's a loaf story, baby just say yeast," connecting her songs to the baked buns. Turns out the mascot of the 49ers is Sourdough Sam and this year the 49ers stadium will host Super Bowl 60. Taylor Swift at Super Bowl 59: Her outfit, her suite mates from Ice Spice to the Kelce fam When Swift explained her football knowledge prior to dating Travis Kelce, she mentioned the entertainment spectacle: "I've known every halftime show from the Super Bowls, but I didn't watch the sports." The singer-songwriter plans for events, album releases and Easter egg clues years in advance. Whether Swift hoped to have her rerecords finished by 2026 or buy back her masters, she wore an Erin Andrews jacket to Super Bowl 58 with the number "60" on the back. Plus, Travis Kelce is about to begin his 13th season in the NFL. The singer's team did not respond immediately to an email requesting comment. Last year, Kendrick Lamar was announced as the halftime entertainer in early September. Follow Bryan West, the USA TODAY Network's Taylor Swift reporter, on Instagram, TikTok and X as @BryanWestTV.

Taylor Swift is reinventing her style for a 'Showgirl' era. There's a reason for that.
Swift recently unveiled a series of extravagant outfits for her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," featuring plenty of crystals and scalloped diamonds. Another album, another standout sartorial era. On Wednesday night, Taylor Swift unveiled the track list and album artwork for her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, which will be released on Oct. 3. Just as the album's title suggests, Swift has so far referenced burlesque imagery in her looks, with feathered boas, opulent headpieces and scalloped diamonds fit for the most glamorous burlesque dancer. With help from luxury houses like Area, The Blonds and Rene Caovilla, Swift's Showgirl era is already underscoring that more is more — and that a true Vegas showgirl always embraces excess. For the album cover of The Life of a Showgirl, Swift wore an intricate, crystal-embellished minidress with a balconette-style bra and scalloped cutouts from embellishment designer Area. The garment hails from the brand's spring 2022 collection and is a nod to what Vogue describes as 'the glitz of an off-duty Vegas dancer.' Art Deco-inspired glamour appears to be the theme of Swift's recently unveiled Showgirl era. Also among her featured album artwork ensembles is a rhinestone-encrusted, deep red one-piece with a corseted bodice and pointed accents along the bust from The Blonds fall-winter 2024 collection. Swift completed the look with matching opera gloves and knee-high boots, along with her signature fishnet tights. Swift's voluminous ostrich feather Showgirl look is from The Blond's fall 2025 collection too. Sarah Chappelle, a Swift-focused fashion critic, notes how the brand's designers previously said that their muse for this specific collection was a 'model, showgirl, it-girl, or an actress' — appropriate descriptors for Swift's Deco-coded sartorial era. The False God hitmaker paired the extravagant, light pink getup with a crystal headpiece and chandelier wrap-around sandals by Rene Caovilla. Swift's Showgirl style is capturing the attention of both Swifties and high-fashion aficionados in general. Jack Savoie, a stylist and content creator, was delighted by Swift's commitment to the maximalist allure of Vegas showgirl dressing. 'This era is pure glamour,' Savoie told Yahoo. 'The crystals, sweeping feathers, and gorgeous heels. It's a celebration of beauty and craftsmanship. I think it's right on trend especially after Pamela Anderson's role in The Last Showgirl. Showgirl dressing requires lots of time, details, craftsmanship and artistry, and I can only imagine the joy her stylist, Joseph Cassell Falconer, is having creating these unforgettable looks.' That Swift is clad in decadent designs isn't anything new. The Guilty as Sin pop star has proved herself to be a high-fashion darling, as she made clear with the slew of custom designer looks she wore during her record-breaking Eras Tour, which concluded late last year. Vivienne Westwood, Roberto Cavalli and Alberta Ferretti are just a handful of designers who helped bring Swift's distinct eras to life through fashion. With The Life of a Showgirl, Swift takes the glitz and glamour peppered through prior eras to showstopping new heights. She first gave audiences a taste of her Showgirl inclinations with the 'Bejeweled' music video from her Midnights era, tapping famed burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese to re-create her sultry martini-glass dance in the video. In another scene from the video, Swift has a major Moulin Rouge! moment in a custom, crystal two-piece designed by Michael Schmidt Studios. While on Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast, New Heights, Wednesday night, Swift unveiled the inspiration behind The Life of a Showgirl era: She wanted to dramatize the realities of life on the road. Swift visited 21 countries over the course of 21 months during the Eras Tour, which kicked off in March 2023 and concluded in December 2024. Clocking in 149 shows across five continents, it became the highest-grossing tour of all time. 'My day ends with me in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress. … I wanted to sort of, like, glamorize all the aspects of how the tour felt,' Swift said on the podcast. 'The reason I wanted to have an offstage moment as the main album cover is because this album isn't really about what happened to me onstage. It's about what I was going through offstage.'
