(Video) Taylor Swift Announces 12th Album 'The Life Of A Showgirl'
On 12th August 2025 (Tuesday), the singer's official social team, Taylor Nation, released a video from her upcoming appearance on Travis' podcast 'New Heights', which he hosts with his brother Jason Kelce. In the clip, Taylor unveiled her new album, 'The Life Of A Showgirl', to Jason, who cheered upon her announcement. Travis, sitting next to Taylor, also expressed his excitement, yelling out 'TS12!', referring to the singer's 12th album.
The announcement came after speculations that the singer is preparing to release a new album and 'enter a new era'. Adding fuel to the rumours was Taylor Nation posting 12 photos of the singer with the caption, 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…''. All images depict the star in orange outfits, which was later revealed to be the new album's theme colour. Additionally, a countdown leading to the announcement also appeared on Taylor's website.
'The Life Of A Showgirl' marks Taylor's first album since wrapping up her highly successful 'The Eras Tour' in December 2024. Her last album, 'The Tortured Poets Department', broke the Spotify record for most-streamed album in a day when it was released in April 2024. At the same time, the singer also revealed that she had bought the rights to her first six albums, ending the years-long battle over the ownership of her music.
While Taylor hasn't announced all details of the new album, including album artwork and release date, fans are already expressing excitement about the new project. Many have also begun pre-ordering the album after the presale was made available on Taylor's website. Some have even started theorising about the tracklist, speculating that it might include a feature with singer Sabrina Carpenter because of Taylor Nation's aforementioned 12-photo post.
Taylor will likely unveil more details about 'The Life Of A Showgirl' on the 'New Heights' podcast when her episode premieres this Wednesday, 13th August 2025. Are you ready to enter a new Taylor Swift era? Check out the announcement and her teaser post below:

SUPER JUNIOR Surprises Fans With Hilarious Grocery Store-Themed Merch
Merchandise has always been something fans look forward to. It's a way to feel connected to the worlds and artists they admire. Whether it's apparel, collectables, or themed accessories, these items help build a sense of community and shared identity. Because of that, brands and entertainment industries put real effort into creating products that are not only useful but also well-designed and visually appealing. SUPER JUNIOR (슈퍼주니어) has stayed true to that idea since their debut in 2005. From classic t-shirts and lightsticks to photocards and limited-edition items, they've consistently given fans something special to hold onto. Their merch has become more than just souvenirs—it's a lasting part of the group's bond with E.L.F.s around the world. On the 13th August (Wednesday), the group took to Twitter to unveil their latest merch concept—and fans definitely weren't expecting what came next. Swapping the usual polished K-pop aesthetic for a playful grocery store theme called 'SJ Market,' the group launched the collection through a dedicated Twitter account. To fully commit to the concept, the members even dressed in grocery store uniforms to match the vibe. The product line features standard K-pop goodies, but with a fun twist: everything is packaged to look like everyday convenience store items—such as cup noodles, milk cartons, bubble gum, and laundry detergent. Adding to the novelty are quirky extras like gloves, packaging tape, and towel sets, all wrapped in bright, eye-catching designs. It's a concept that stands out for its humour, creativity, and unmistakable SUPER JUNIOR flair. E.L.F.s were instantly charmed by the collection's playful aesthetic, with many describing it as 'cute' and 'unexpected.' The grocery store concept struck a perfect balance between humour and nostalgia, capturing the group's signature lighthearted spirit in a way that felt both familiar and fresh. What truly surprised fans, though, was the sheer scale of the release—over 30 different items to choose from. From quirky packaging to practical everyday items, the variety makes it feel more like a themed lifestyle line than just typical merch. Once again, SUPER JUNIOR has proven that when it comes to creativity and fan service, they know how to deliver most unforgettably. Source: Twitter Zaima Humaira contributed to this article
