Taylor Swift Fans Have the ‘Zoomies' Over ‘Life of a Showgirl' News: ‘I Am Bouncing Around … Like a Feral Cat'
Taylor Swift gave fans the best news they could possibly ask for on Tuesday (Aug. 12) — that she has a new album on the way. After launching a mysterious countdown on her website and sending Swifties into an anxious frenzy, the pop star finally confirmed through a teaser for boyfriend Travis Kelce's upcoming New Heights podcast episode that after months of dropping Easter eggs — the orange Eras Tour outfits, the 12 letter I's in her letter about reclaiming her masters, the 12 Taylor Nation pictures — her 12th studio LP, The Life of a Showgirl, is coming soon. And though the title of the album is the only known detail so far, Swift's fanbase is overflowing with excitement and predictions for the hitmaker's next era. More from Billboard Taylor Swift Announces New Album, 'The Life of a Showgirl' Everything We Know About Taylor Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl' (So Far) The Life of a Prolific Pop Star: 'Showgirl' Will Be Taylor Swift's Ninth Full-Length Album of the 2020s 'can't wait for taylor to release my new favorite taylor swift album to go along with my other favorite taylor swift albums,' one person wrote on X. A second fan rejoiced, 'HALLELUJAH WE ARE CLOWNS NO MORE! WELCOME HOME THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL.' 'finding out that a new taylor swift album is coming out is a feeling that i can only describe as the same as drinking 17 brown sugar shaken espressos,' a third person added. Several fans mentioned feeling like they were experiencing Swiftie 'zoomies' in reaction to the news — 'Taylor Swift zoomies are at an all time high rn y'all I'm watching the eras tour and RUNNING around my apartment trying to make the time go faster,' one person shared — while one listener declared that she was 'bouncing around my room like a feral cat' with excitement. Many Swifties wasted no time in theorizing about the possible sound and subject matter of The Life of a Showgirl, which will mark the hitmaker's first LP since 2024's 17-week Billboard 200-topping effort The Tortured Poets Department. 'going from TTPD, an album about fame and vulnerability and the toll it takes on her personhood and mental health to The Life Of A Showgirl, which is another angle on fame,' one fan mused. '(and maybe a more empowering angle?) I'm SOOOOO excited to hear what she has to say in these songs.' 'the life of a showgirl makes me feel like she's aboutta bust out of the TTPD insane asylum with the most insane stories and she's gonna be loud about em,' agreed another Swiftie. 'All I know is that Taylor is about to treat us to an incisive retrospective on her entire life as a 'showgirl,'' one listener wrote. 'The loss of her innocence, the loves and lives she sacrificed to scrutiny, and the weight of being a woman in the public eye. Looks like TTPD was only the beginning.' But it wasn't just the average Swifties who were excited about the upcoming project. King Swiftie himself (aka Flavor Flav), shared the pop superstar's image of the sparkly orange vinyl with the matching lock on Instagram, while New York City's Empire State Building's Instagram account shared a photo of the landmark lit up in the same orange, captioning the post, 'Onto the next era.' Though fans are clearly well and truly hyped for The Life of a Showgirl, Swift still has a lot to reveal about the project. She's expected to share more details in her full guest episode of New Heights — which drops Wednesday evening (Aug. 13) — but for now, all Swifties have to go off of is a clip posted to the podcast's social media accounts. 'I wanted to show you something,' she says in the video, carefully taking out a blurred vinyl from a 'T.S.' brief case. 'This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.'
