After a lot of speculation, Taylor Swift has confirmed the upcoming release of her 12th studio album.
The album – titled The Life of a Showgirl – was announced in a preview clip for the August 13 episode of New Heights podcast with Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, and it is thought that more details will be shared, including a release date, when the full episode drops.
The Life of a Showgirl is an unexpected album title for Taylor, who has favored mostly snappy one-words titles for the majority of her career; 2024's four-word album The Tortured Poet's Department was previously the longest at double the number of words of any other album.
But what else can we expect from the new era of Miss Swift, her first since the end of her record-breaking and culture-changing Eras Tour
