Taylor Swift announces new album – here's where to pre-order it in the UK now
No stranger to dropping Easter eggs, a countdown to 12.12am EST on 12 August appeared on her website, which transformed into a glittering orange facade. Early on Monday, Swift's marketing team posted a carousel of 12 photos with the caption "Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…".
Then, Kelce revealed that his girlfriend would be a guest on the new episode of New Heights, posting a silhouette of Swift taken from a photoshoot on 12 December 2022. The Life of a Showgirl will be her 12th album, and many fans are speculating it will drop on 12th October, in fitting with the theme.
An official release date is yet to be set, but the album will be shipped before 13 October, according to her website.
The artist's 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, broke the Spotify record for being the most-streamed album in a day. Allegedly picking apart the end of her relationship with actor Joe Alwyn, it also appeared to skewer The 1975 singer Matty Healy after a brief romantic liaison in the wry song The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.
After the success of her last album, and the record-breaking Eras tour, the highest-grossing tour in history and the first to break $1bn, The Life of A Showgirl is set to be one of the biggest music launches of 2025.
Here's how to pre-order the new record.
Details are still thin on the ground about The Life of a Showgirl, with the release date, album artwork and track listing yet to be unveiled. For now, we know that Swift's new record will be shipped before 13 October 2025. Perhaps hinting at a return to a poppier sound, the vinyl boasts a portofino orange and gold glitter finish.
There's a limit of four vinyls per customer, and the website states that the record is only available to pre-order while stocks last, so act fast.

Machine Gun Kelly buys daughter a moderately priced first car... but issues her a stern warning
Machine Gun Kelly is a proud father-of-two, and he recently celebrated a milestone for his firstborn child, daughter Casie. The 35-year-old music artist — who recently revealed what parenting comment left ex-girlfriend Megan Fox 'fuming' — purchased Casie her first car for her 16th birthday in July. As he surprised her with the new wheels, he had one rule: 'Don't drive like your dad.' In a viral video shared by a fan page on X, the teenager gushed over a black Acura TLX that her rock star dad gifted her, complete with a red bow. And the Cliché hitmaker, who now goes by mgk, said about the moderately priced car: 'I don't know why it's her dream car, but it's her dream car.' mgk gifted his 16-year-old daughter casie her dream car. "don't drive like your dad" 😭 #mgk #machinegunkelly #colsonbaker machine gun kelly — mgkmagic (@mgkmagic) August 11, 2025 According to Business Insider, the sleek sedan ranges from $45,400-$62,000 — a small price for the artist, whose net worth is an estimated $25 million. Casie will have to pass an exam to get her driver's license before she can fully enjoy her new gift. 'It runs in the family, dude. We can't get a license to save our lives,' the Cleveland-bred rapper said in the clip. In addition to Casie, he became a dad for the second time earlier this year when he welcomed a baby girl named Saga Blade Fox-Baker with ex-girlfriend Megan. While appearing on the Today show's video series 8 Before 8 in July, he revealed that he picked his younger daughter's name. 'Well, I lost the first one and won the second one,' he answered when asked, 'As a father of two girls, what was the name choosing process like?' He elaborated, 'When you are 18-years-old and you go to her mother and you go, "What if we named our kid Kid?" I get why she's like, "Hey man, shut up."' He confessed with a laugh, 'That was one of the names. I was like, "If her name was Kid, that would be sick."' And while on Today in June he explained the meaning behind his newborn's name. 'She is an epic story. That's what saga means,' he said of the moniker. Referencing his ex Megan's prior miscarriage, he added that he was inspired by 'her journey — the five years of her culmination of coming, disappearing, coming back again, disappearing, coming back again.' He also connected the name to his Norwegian background, stating, 'That's the Nordic goddess of storytelling. So, she has a storytelling future ahead of her.' Fans previously mistakenly thought the exes had named their daughter 'Celestial Seed' due to the caption mgk used when announcing her birth. Sharing an Instagram video holding his baby girl's tiny hand in March, he captioned, 'She's finally here!! our little celestial seed. 3/27/25.'
