Taylor Swift announced her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, releasing October 3. It features collaborations with Max Martin, Shellback, and Sabrina Carpenter.
Grammy winning-singer Taylor Swift revealed that her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, will be released on October 3. Swift shared the news through Instagram, as she also unveiled the cover art.
In the picture, the 'Fortnight" singer is seen wearing a bedazzled one-piece featuring cut-outs as she lies in a body of water and she rests her hand on her head. Her look still features her signature red lip with edgy smokey eye make-up, reports people.com.
'And, baby, that's show business for you. New album The Life of a Showgirl. Out October 3," she captioned the post.
The album is produced by Swift, Max Martin and Shellback. In follow-up photos, Swift is channeling her showgirl era with rhinestones, feathers and matching headpieces.
Swift also released the track list, which revealed that Sabrina Carpenter will be featured on the title track. The other songs include 'Elizabeth Taylor," 'Ruin the Friendship," 'Honey," 'Actually Romantic," 'CANCELLED!", 'Eldest Daughter", 'Father Figure", 'Opalite" and 'The Fate of Ophelia."
Swift announced her forthcoming LP in an Instagram video teaser on the New Heights podcast, which her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce co-host.
In the video clip, Swift could be seen asking, 'Can I show you something? Okay. What do we got? We got a briefcase? Mint green, with T.S. on it," Jason, 37, replied, which the 'Fortnight" hitmaker confirmed.
He then asked Swift what she had in the briefcase. 'This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl," Swift replied. Travis then cheered, 'TS 12!"
However, the actual album cover was kept under wraps at the time. Then, Swift's website began to feature blurred mint green and orange LP artwork, alongside options to purchase vinyl, cassette and CD versions. The CD edition will come with a poster.
In the backdrop of the video, there were several books with orange covers that could be seen, featuring works of artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marc Chagall and Ruth Asawa.
Swift's previous album, The Tortured Poets Department, was released in 2024.

‘I wasn't supposed to feel gareeb in India': Dubai vlogger left shocked after Rs 1,000 chai in Mumbai
A Dubai-based Indian travel vlogger has gone viral for something most NRIs can relate to — the shock of returning home and finding India anything but 'cheap.' Parikshit Balochi, a radio presenter and content creator, recently posted a candid Instagram video about how the cost of living back home has left him stunned. His witty yet exasperated rant, especially about a cup of tea that set him back Rs 1,000, has already crossed half a million his video, Balochi confessed that earning in dirhams always gave him the impression that India would be his playground for carefree spending. 'I am an NRI, I was not supposed to feel gareeb (poor) in India,' he said, sounding equal parts amused and frustrated. But instead of feeling wealthy, the inflated bills in Mumbai hotels and cafés have made him rethink the entire NRI privilege. Nothing captured his disbelief better than the price of a humble cup of tea. 'Rs 1,000 is what we used to put on the stock market when I left India. What is happening?' he explained that the unspoken 'deal' NRIs had with India was simple — come home, convert dirhams to rupees, and live like royalty. He said that converting dirhams into rupees was supposed to make him feel richer, not leave him shocked. Instead of showing off his wealth, he now jokes that he might actually need flexible payment plans just to survive the a mix of satire and genuine worry, Balochi ended his rant by pointing out how much money locals must be managing to spend daily. 'Yahan pe logon se puch raha hun, kitna paisa hai bhai tumhare paas,' he said, marvelling at how residents navigate this reality.
