Taylor Swift turns heads in sizzling bodysuit for special edition album imagery ahead of new music
Taylor Swift stunned in a surprise special edition vinyl cover of her upcoming album, "The Life of a Showgirl." For "The Shiny Bug" edition of her 12th studio album, Swift wore a red and black bedazzled bodysuit with matching long gloves. The pop star accessorized with fishnet tights and her classic red lips. Swift, 35, revealed the original artwork for her 12th catalog, which included showstopping images of the singer dressed to the nines like one of Las Vegas' finest entertainers, on Aug. 13. The 12-set tracklist was included with the initial imagery, which will be released Oct. 3. The "Midnights" singer first announced her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," at 12:12 a.m. on Aug. 12. The next day, she made an appearance on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast. Taylor detailed the 12-track setlist on the podcast, and revealed song names, including "The Fate of Ophelia," followed by "Elizabeth Taylor," "Opal Light," "Father Figure," "Eldest Daughter," "Ruin the Friendship," "Actually Romantic," "Wi$h Li$t," "Wood," "CANCELED!," "Honey," and "The Life of A Showgirl" featuring Sabrina Carpenter. Swift told fans she wrote the album while on the European leg of her record-breaking "Eras Tour" with pop producers Max Martin and Shellback. "I'd do like three shows in a row. I'd have three days off. I'd fly to Sweden, go back to the tour and actually like working on this, I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating," Swift explained. The singer-songwriter previously worked with Martin and Shellback on multiple hit songs including, "Bad Blood," "Blank Space," "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "…Ready For It?" "It was really special," she said of getting to work with the producers again. "It meant the world to me to have this creative experience where we knew we had to bring the best ideas we've ever had. I also know the pressure I'm putting on this record by saying that, but I don't care because I love it that much." According to Swift, TS12 "just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life." Kelce, who has had the pleasure of listening to all the unreleased tracks, said the album is "a lot more upbeat, and it's a lot more like fun, pop, like excitement." "I think it's a complete 180 from a lot of the songs on 'Tortured Poets' for sure," he noted. Swift agreed, saying: "Life is more upbeat."

'I've heard some stuff, it's fantastic,' Zoë teased in an exclusive E! News interview. 'She always brings it. This is what she does. It's fun to sit back and watch everyone devour what she makes and she cares so much. She puts everything she has into it.' (For more from Zoë , watch E!

Taylor Swift Super Bowl 60 Theory
The time has once again come to reapply our clown makeup. There's a new theory circulating among fans that Taylor Swift is playing Super Bowl LX, which is taking place at Levi's Stadium (home of the 49ers!) in Santa Clara, California. And she may have hinted as much during New Heights. As anyone who watched the podcast knows, Taylor spoke about her love of making sourdough, like, a lot. And while she might simply be obsessed with bread, fans have noted that the 49ers' official mascot is none other than "Sourdough Sam." Coincidence? Maybe, but there's more. Taylor also said that she talks about sourdough 60 percent of the we're gearing up to the 60th super bowl. On top of that, Tay also referenced the number 47 multiple times throughout the podcast, and her 47th Eras Tour show was where, you ask? Levi's Stadium. Obviously, this all could mean nothing—but Taylor also specifically noted on New Heights that she loves numerological easter eggs—and referenced her NYU commencement speech. "My favorite one of those was when I was giving an honorary doctorate from NYU and I made the commencement speech," she said. "And I put so many lyrical easter eggs in that speech that when the Midnights album came out after that, the fans were like 'The whole speech was an easter egg.' And that for me is really fun because they find it fun. I love numerology, I love math stuff, I love dates, that stuff I find really fun." we look back on New Heights and say "the whole podcast was an easter egg?" Only time will tell!

Taylor Swift's Album Of The Year Winner Returns Amidst New Music Excitement
Taylor Swift has made it abundantly clear that the latter half of 2025 will belong to her. The singer-songwriter recently announced a new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and in short order shared both its brightly-hued cover and its October 3 release date. Before any music from her latest era has been released, speculation about a new chapter has helped many of Swift's most popular projects rise in the United Kingdom, and one of her more recent sets returns to the most important list. Midnights Returns to the U.K. Albums Chart Midnights finds its way back to the Official Albums chart, the U.K.'s list that details the 100 most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country. This frame, Swift's bestseller reenters at No. 92. Folklore, The Tortured Poets Department, Reputation and Lover With Midnights back on the all-encompassing Official Albums chart, Swift now claims five wins this week. Her other four titles — Folklore, The Tortured Poets Department, Reputation, and Lover — all climb from where they sat last time. This frame, they appear at Nos. 34, 49, 72, and 75, respectively. Midnights Spent Five Weeks at No. 1 Midnights has not been absent from the Official Albums chart for long. The project last appeared in late June of this year, ending a years-long winning streak that began in May 2023. Swift launched Midnights at No. 1 in November 2022. The project spent five frames leading the tally and a total of 57 turns somewhere between Nos. 1 and 10. Half a Dozen Streaming Successes As Midnights returns to the Official Albums chart, it also improves on the Official Albums Streaming ranking, pushing from No. 92 to No. 84. Swift fills half a dozen spots on that roster, as all five of her titles that live on the main albums tally are also streaming winners. 1989 also joins in on the run, as it rises from No. 99 to No. 97 on the streaming-only list, but fails to reenter the main albums list. Midnights Produced Eight Hit Songs Eight songs from Midnights reached the Official Singles chart during promotion of the title, but only 'Anti-Hero' but No. 1, where it spent six frames. 'Snow on the Beach,' her collaboration with Lana Del Rey, and 'Lavender Haze' also spent time inside the top 10, peaking at Nos. 4 and 3, respectively. Including deluxe editions of the full-length, the project produced additional top 40 wins like 'Karma,' 'Hits Different,' and 'You're Losing Me.'

What Is Taylor Swift's Total Net Worth?
Look, we all know Taylor Swift is Scrooge McDuck–levels of wealthy. The precise amount of $$$ she's raking in is seriously staggering—especially over the past few years. Since 2020 (when her net worth was a mere $365 million), Taylor has released approximately one million new albums (with The Life of a Showgirl on its way!!), embarked on her Eras Tour, and come out with a concert film—so it's no shock that her net worth has grown hundreds of millions in the span of just a few years. So, yeah, while the rest of us were stalking her squad on socials and trying to decipher the meaning of all those Easter eggs (!!!), Taylor was busy making money. Let's dig in. Not so surprisingly, Taylor's studio albums—including Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Midnights, The Tortured Poets Department, and now The Life of a Showgirl—have earned *tens of millions of dollars* worldwide. Per the Recording Industry Association of America, an organization that sounds like it knows what it's talking about, she has earned $137.5 million in digital singles and $51 million in album sales. Oh, and now seems like a good time to mention that Midnights sold more than 1 million copies in its FIRST. WEEK. Some other fun facts for you? And even though it cost her more than a pretty penny to buy her masters back (like, we're talking $360 million a lot), her net worth has only increased from the purchase, as she now has the power to license the original masters for film and TV. By the end of 2023—and less than halfway through its scheduled 152-show run—the Eras Tour had nabbed the distinction of earning over $1 billion to become the highest-grossing concert all time. And by the end of its run, Forbes reported that the tour generated an estimated $4.1 billion in revenue, with Tay personally earning an estimated $10 to $13 million per show. Excuse me while I go cry in broke. Meanwhile, Taylor's Eras Tour concert film broke AMC records on its first day, bringing in a reported $26 million. It's since earned $100 million in advance global ticket sales, and Variety reports that Tay and her team have pocketed $60 million of that. In total, the movie earned $262 million at the box office. HER POWER! Taylor wasn't able to tour for a few years due to the pandemic, but it's cool because she made enough on her Reputation Tour to last a lifetime. The tour grossed $266.1 million in domestic revenue, making it the highest-grossing tour in United States history at the time. Truly, what is life? No, seriously: In case you want some details, when Taylor kicked off her tour in Phoenix in 2018, she set a new venue record for gross and attendance. THEN she hit up San Francisco and made a cool $14 million, before pocketing another $16.2 million in SoCal. Also, the entire thing was filmed by Netflix for an undisclosed sum rumored to be worth millions. What did you make in 2015? Because Taylor Swift took home $250 million (mostly in ticket sales) thanks to her 1989 Tour—and she was the top-grossing tour artist of that year. Taylor Swift doesn't really ~do~ social media sponcon, but she does have a history of working with brands, namely Keds, Diet Coke, Capital One, and Apple. These are private working relationships, so who knows exactly how much money she took home, but it was presumably a lot. Not only does Taylor own an apartment in NYC, but she also owns the homes next door because why not? This epic real estate haul set her back a reported $50 million, but who wouldn't want to avoid annoying neighbors by throwing lots of money at the problem? Also in Tay's real estate portfolio: a $4 million check for a property she recently sold in Beverly Hills, a $2 million place in Nashville, plus that sweet vacation pad in Rhode Island where Tom Hiddleston once frolicked gleefully. (It's worth $17 million.) Business Insider estimates that in total, her property is worth $81 million, while Bloomberg says it's closer to $110 million. Back in August 2017, Forbes reported that Taylor was worth $280 million. Then in June 2023, the publication revealed that her net worth had increased to $740 million—up from $365 million in 2020. And now, as of August 2025, however, Tay cemented her status as the richest female musician with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion. The celeb is no doubt very much used to breaking records (and glass ceilings, for that matter), and told TIME during her December 2023 cover story that she hopes her success will inspire others to invest in women. "What has existed since the dawn of time? A patriarchal society. What fuels a patriarchal society? Money, flow of revenue, the economy," she mused. "So actually, if we're going to look at this in the most cynical way possible, feminine ideas becoming lucrative means that more female art will get made. It's extremely heartening." So TAYLOR IS A BILLIONAIRE AND AN ICON! Please excuse me while I go weep with happiness for her and sadness for myself.
