Did Taylor Swift's Spotify playlist for new album hint at new producers?
It has already been a wild week for Swifties, and it's only Tuesday morning. Monday was a whirlwind as the New Heights podcast, hosted by Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, teased a special episode with a surprise guest. After a lot of detective work that referenced the mysterious silhouette and the glittery orange background, hypotheses started flying that the 14-time Grammy winner would be the mystery guest.
That theory gained legs when Swift's official social media account Taylor Nation posted 12 orange photos 12 minutes after the New Heights post, seemingly indicating Swift would be using the podcast to announce something about her 12th studio album. Her appearance was confirmed on the podcast with a shared clip of Swift sitting alongside Kelce and reflecting on the fact they were doing a podcast together.
Later Monday night, a countdown showed up on Swift's website, ending at 12:12 AM on August 12. When the clock hit zeroes, New Heights dropped another video, this one showing the The Tortured Poets Department singer removing a vinyl from a TS branded case and announcing her upcoming album, The Life Of A Showgirl.
We don't have a release date -- or an album cover -- for the album yet, but we do have a Swift-curated playlist on Spotify. The playlist features 22 songs, and they all have something in common. All the songs featured were produced by Swedish writing and producing duo Max Martin and Shellback.
Swift has worked with the pair before, namely on her Red, 1989 and Reputation albums. Signs are good for the pop album of our dreams.
