She’s in her showgirl era.
Ahead of her first-ever podcast interview on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” episode on Wednesday, Taylor Swift officially announced her upcoming 12th album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” which she will drop on Oct. 3.
The “Love Story” singer also shared the album’s cover art, which features Swift in a green, sparkling showgirl dress while submerged in water. The record’s title is included in big, orange, glittered text.
“And, baby, that’s show business for you,” the “Anti-Hero” superstar captioned the post. “New album The Life of a Showgirl. Out October 3.”
Meanwhile, Swift also revealed her new album’s 12-song tracklist, including a surprise collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter.
The first six songs are officially titled “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Opalite,” “Father Figure,” “Eldest Daughter” and “Ruin the Friendship.”
As for the last six songs, they are “Actually Romantic,” Wi$h Li$t,” “Wood,” “CANCELLED!,” “Honey” and the titular “The Life of a Showgirl.”
Carpenter, 26, will feature on the record’s final, eponymous track, and Swift produced her 12th studio album with Max Martin and Shellback.
“The Life of a Showgirl” is Swift’s first album since “The Tortured Poets Department,” which came out April 19, 2024 and was nominated for six Grammy Awards.
Her album discography also includes “Taylor Swift” (2006), “Fearless” (2008), “Speak Now” (2010), “Red” (2012), “1989” (2014), “Reputation” (2017), “Lover” (2019), “Folklore” (2020), “Evermore” (2020)” and “Midnights” (2022).
The “Enchanted” singer performed songs from her first 11 albums on her record-breaking Eras Tour, which ran from March 2023 to December 2024 and grossed over $2 billion.
In May, Swift finally gained control of her music catalog after a years-long dispute with Scooter Braun. The music executive acquired Swift’s first six albums when he purchased her former record label, Big Machine Records, for a reported $300 million back in June 2019.
After the sale, Swift argued that she was never “given the opportunity to buy” the masters herself and, as a result, she re-recorded four of her first six albums to regain ownership of them.
In Nov. 2020, Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings, sold Swift’s master recordings to Shamrock Capital.
When Swift gained possession of her masters back from Shamrock Capital earlier this year, she called it her “greatest dream come true” in a heartfelt message to fans.
“I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that’s all in the past now,” the “Anti-Hero” singer wrote in an Instagram statement.
“I’ve been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening,” Swift added.
“I really get to say these words: All of the music I’ve ever made … now belongs … to me,” she concluded.
