Is Taylor Swift releasing a new album? Here's what we know

The billionaire popstar is renowned for dropping crumbs along the way, whether it's music videos or introducing a whole new concept to channel her emotions. Throughout Swift's discography, she attached a specific colour to her music albums, and the fans went along with it, creating a rainbow of lyrics, tracks, chants, and many more. Taylor Swift's new era colour screams Orange In a recent Instagram post by the official management team's handle, Taylor's Nation, the singer gave a stupendous easter egg by allegedly revealing the official colour of the next era, which suggests a brand-new album. Posting a carousel of snippets from the Eras Tour, the highest-grossing tour, they gave a thread of Taylor's orange outfits from various performances, ranging from the 'Evermore' dress to the 'Lover' suit. Captioning the post with 12 pictures, it said, 'Thinking about when she said, "See you next era…' ❤️🔥' The new colour suggests the transition from the grey and sepia tones, which were the colours of her previous heartbreaking album, to the shades of sunrise, indicating the brighter and upbeat music record. Taylor Swift is likely to collaborate with Sabrina Carpenter Oh, that's not all. The account stealthily posted an image of Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift at the end of the series. While the picture could simply highlight the colours worn by the 'Mastermind' singer, the radar points at a collaboration between the two singers. For the unversed, the 26-year-old singer is releasing her upcoming album 'Man's Best Friend' on August 29, 2025. About Taylor Swift For the past couple of months, Taylor Swift has been thriving with her beau, Travis Kelce , the leading NFL star. While she witnessed a couple of setbacks in her personal life concerning friendships, Swift recently acquired all the rights to her previous masters, making her one of the rare artists to own her art. As the fans await new songs by the acclaimed singer, a couple of the Swifties seemed relieved that the dots they connected previously were accurate.

Sabrina Carpenter reveals final ‘Man's Best Friend' vinyl cover with exclusive bonus track
Sabrina Carpenter has revealed the fourth and final alternate cover for her upcoming album Man's Best Friend, just three weeks ahead of its official release. The pop star shared the new artwork on Instagram on Friday (Aug. 8), featuring herself seated confidently at a dinner table in a sparkling blue gown, surrounded by five men in tuxedos. Alongside the visual, Carpenter announced a special vinyl-exclusive bonus track titled 'Such A Funny Way,' available only with this version of the album. 'The final alternate cover for Man's Best Friend features such a special bonus track… available only on vinyl,' she wrote, encouraging fans to preorder the limited-edition signed vinyl. The singer also reminded fans of the countdown to the album's arrival, saying, '3 weeks left!!! Can't wait for it to be yours x.' Man's Best Friend, Carpenter's seventh studio album, has generated significant attention since its announcement in June. Much of the discourse has centered around the album's provocative original cover — a photo of Carpenter on all fours with a man pulling her hair — which sparked debate online and even became a topic of discussion on The View. In response, Carpenter has released several alternative covers, including a black-and-white image of her resting on a man's shoulder and another where she is surrounded by flower bouquets. Earlier this week, Carpenter unveiled the official tracklist for Man's Best Friend, which includes 12 songs. Among them is the chart-topping lead single 'Manchild,' which she performed during her recent headlining set at Lollapalooza in Chicago, where she also shared the stage with Earth, Wind & Fire. All four versions of the album are now available for purchase on Carpenter's official website.

Sabrina Carpenter's Lollapalooza Headlining Set Review
Sabrina Carpenter's highly anticipated return to Lollapalooza was just the sendoff her iconic Short n' Sweet era deserved. Not only did it mark her comeback to the Chicago-based festival since 2023, but her last performance this summer before her seventh album, Man's Best Friend, drops later this month. It's a complete 180 compared to the last time I watched her sing on the eve of Short n' Sweet's release, when she pretty much secured her Grammy with a performance of 'Please Please Please' on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Now, she's got two golden gramophones under her belt with another record on the horizon and a headlining gig at one of the biggest music festivals in the biz. While it may not have been my first time seeing her live, it was my first time in Chitown for Lolla, thanks to an invite from T-Mobile to check out the hottest club in town: Club Magenta. As a pop culture editor who's constantly frolicking across festival grounds, I was personally saved by the unmatched VIP access I was given in the exclusive area all weekend. The elevated, shaded lounge kept festival-goers cool, connected, and close to the action with merch giveaways, free drinks from 6 to 7 p.m. every day, and, of course, a perfect view of the T-Mobile stage, where Sabrina headlined. Maybe it was the delicious stream of cool air, my constant clutch of Club Magenta's complimentary portable chargers, or the ice-cold drink in my hand, but I knew I was in for an absolute treat during Sabrina's set. Thanks to these perks, I realized that maybe I'm not meant to live an uncomfortable life during festival season. So, consider me spoiled—it's what S.C. would want. Sabrina's vocals are stronger than ever, her hooks are sticky-sweet, and her pen? It's always been criminally sharp. The pint-sized pop star has always been larger than life through her dry humor and infectious stage presence, which kicked into gear when she opened the show with 'Busy Woman.' Her '60s-inspired stage set mirrored that of her ongoing Short n' Sweet Tour and the pastel retro aesthetic she's embraced since 2022. She kept the vibes going with tracks like 'Good Graces,' 'Coincidence,' and 'Slim Pickins.' Then, it was time for her to bring 'Manchild' to the U.S. Lollapalooza marked her first performance of Man's Best Friend's chart-topping lead single in the states, which resulted in a sea of lingerie-clad and platform-stomping festival-goers flawlessly executing her cheeky TikTok choreo in the crowd. I'll admit, hearing thousands of people scream 'stupid,' 'slow,' and 'useless' was probably one of the best things I've experienced during a live show—after all, we were working late, 'cause we're singers. Obviously. A similar feeling took over once she burst into 'because i liked a boy,' except there was a sense of serenity that came from the woman singing it before us. When it was released in 2022, Sabrina was in the thick of a headline-making love triangle that we don't even know to be true. Three years later, she's become so much bigger than that—so much so, that she brought out Chicago natives Earth, Wind & Fire for a performance of 'Let's Groove' and 'September' immediately after. Seeing musical icons from a certain era mesh so seamlessly with new-age talent not only gave me goosebumps, but also reminded me that the beauty of such moments is universal. It truly felt like an honor to witness, so I can't even imagine what it'd be like on stage. And, while half the internet was probably holding out hope that fellow Lollapalooza headliner, Olivia Rodrigo, would be Sabrina's 'Juno' girl, it ended up being another headlining act, TWICE. The moment was sweet, and while there was no 'Juno' position, the joy of getting low, screaming 'I'm so fucking horny,' and jumping right back up to dance is irreplaceable. Of course, the show closed with the song that catapulted Sabrina into mainstream superstardom, 'Espresso.' No matter how overexposed it is at this point, moments like these only get better when you realize the whole world is finally listening. Whether you've subscribed to Sabrina's stardom since 'Can't Blame a Girl for Trying' or discovered her on Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, one thing's for certain: She always believed she was on top. I had long seen her potential after watching her perform—at the Radio Disney Music Awards, of all places—in the early aughts of her career. Then, in between her Disney departure and big break (thanks to a cup of 'me espresso'), I found songs like 'Paris' and 'In My Bed' in my rotation. It wasn't until she released her first album under Island Records, emails i can't send, that she broke out of being cast as a footnote in someone else's heartbreak saga—she had her own story to tell, in her voice. And, corniness aside, there's comfort in knowing such synergy can happen after years of working hard and self-belief. No matter what our dreams are, we're constantly sold the story of an overnight sensation. Sabrina is a prime example that a meteoric rise isn't for everyone—she's rightfully earned every accolade and headlining gig, despite being told that her slow and steady steps toward greatness made her the tortoise instead of the hare. Well, now she's at the top of her game and on top of the world.

Sabrina Carpenter's ‘Man's Best Friend': See the Full Track List
The release date for Sabrina Carpenter's album Man's Best Friend is coming up really soon, and she's finally unveiled the full track list for the upcoming project. For the song title reveals, she's enlisted her fans (and a sweet pup!) to help share the tracks to expect on her seventh studio LP. On Friday, she shared the final track title herself! 'Thank you to all my beautiful perfect fans that helped me reveal the tracklist for Man's Best Friend,' Carpenter wrote. 'The final track reveal is… track #2 'Tears.' Can't believe the album will be in your ears in exactly 4 weeks.' More from Rolling Stone Sabrina Carpenter Celebrates the 'Special Moments' That Followed 'Emails I Can't Send' The Sabrina Carpenter You Don't Know Watch Sabrina Carpenter Perform 'Hungry Like the Wolf' With Duran Duran at BST Hyde Park Along with a photo of herself posing with the sweet puppy, she also shared the full track list written on a wine-stained napkin. Carpenter began the rollout on Wednesday, July 23, beginning with track 12, featuring photos of her lucky fans posing with a director's chair with the song titles embroidered on them, and a sweet golden retriever sitting on the chair. Carpenter kicked off the track list rollout on July 22, revealing Track 12, titled 'Goodbye,' featuring a fan named Mariah. The next day came the name of Track 11, 'House Tour,' before a fan named Kaylona helped reveal Track 10, which features the silly title 'Don't Worry I'll Make You Worry.' It's fair to say she's been naming the songs in backward order. In the caption, she wrote: 'No stress, kaylona's got us. track #10 is 'Don't Worry I'll Make You Worry.'' Over the weekend, July 26 and 27, she revealed Track Nine, titled 'Go Go Juice' ('melina wants u to sip this,' the caption reads); Track Eight, 'When Did You Get Hot?' (with a caption shouting out the fan: 'paige can't relate, she's always been'); and Track Seven is captioned, 'not anything lex knows about. track #7 is 'Never Getting Laid.'' Earlier this week, we got Track Six, 'Nobody's Son.' She captioned the post, 'Listen up everybody! Melissa's here to tell u.' And on Tuesday, came 'We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night' with the help of a fan named Hannah. On July 30, Krystal, a 'real sweet talker,' unveiled Track 4, 'Sugar Talking,' before Steph shared Track 3, 'My Man on Willpower.' With 'Manchild' being the opening track of the record, only Track 2 is set to be revealed, with fans speculating that she might reveal the song during Lollapalooza weekend, when she's set to headline. She's also hosting a pop-up shop for fans over the weekend. On Twitter, Carpenter shared posts from the fans that appear to be featured in the photos, including a post by @overdosedontun that read, 'omggg sabrina asked me to reveal track 11 'House Tour' from Man's Best Friend !!!' In her repost, Carpenter wrote: 'Track 11 stans rise.' Man's Best Friend will follow 2024's Short n' Sweet (its deluxe edition, featuring a 'Please Please Please' duet with Dolly Parton, arrived in February 2025). The cover, in which Carpenter is seen kneeling on the ground, one hand extended toward a figure in a suit who's grabbing her hair, ignited debates online about whether the photo signified female empowerment or empowered the male gaze. The singer poked fun at the controversy surrounding the image and later shared an alternative cover — a starlet captured by paparazzi — and wrote on social media at the time: 'Here is a new alternate cover approved by God.' Carpenter released 'Manchild,' the lead single on her next album, on June 5, and it spent several consecutive days at Number One on Spotify's U.S. chart. See the 's track list 1. 'Manchild'2.
