Taylor Swift has announced her twelfth studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl.' The album, which is available for pre-order, will be released through Republic Records. Fans speculate the album has a showgirl theme and features production by Max Martin and Shellback. The announcement came during a podcast with football players Travis and Jason Kelce. Swift began hinting at new music in September 2024, five months after her previous release, 'The Tortured Poets Department.' She appeared at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards wearing symbolic red earrings. Swift teased the album by using Easter eggs, such as a logo with her initials and a countdown on her website. A Spotify playlist titled "And, baby, that's show business for you" further fueled fan excitement, hinting at the album's producers. The album's promotion included teasers on social media and a countdown ending at 12:12 a.m. Eastern Time, leading to the album's title reveal. Swift's team also hinted at the album's details during a New Heights podcast episode.
