Taylor Swift announced her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," will drop Oct. 3.

It seems as if Taylor Swift is swan-diving into the world of rhinestones, diamonds, velvet and cabaret for her newest era, "The Life of a Showgirl."

The singer broke the news on the Aug. 13 podcast episode of "New Heights." Seated next to Travis Kelce, she lifted up a mint green and bright orange briefcase.

"This is my brand-new album," Swift says as Jason Kelce screams with excitement.

The "Showgirl" track list reads like a sequins sequence:

  1. The Fate of Ophelia
  2. Elizabeth Taylor
  3. Opalite
  4. Father Figure
  5. Eldest Daughter
  6. Ruin the Friendship
  7. Actually Romantic
  8. Wi$h Li$t
  9. Wood
  10. Cancelled!
  11. Honey
  12. The Life of a Showgirl (featuring Sabrina Carpenter)

"The Life of a Showgirl" cover shows Swift underwater in a bedazzled top. Four variants are available for preorder. They are "Sweat and Vanilla Perfume," "It's Frightening," "It's Rapturous" and "It's Beautiful."

Swift said she started recording the album when she was touring in Europe. She would fly to Sweden to record. The album is produced by Swedish producers Max Martin and Shellback, along with Swift.

Swift said she hadn't worked with Martin in about eight years.

"It felt like catching lightning in a bottle," Swift said about working with the producer again.

Taylor admitted no one else worked with the three of them. Swift said she talked to Martin the same weekend she dedicated an Eras Tour medley to him in Stolkholm, Sweden.

"I was talking to him and I was like, 'I just feel like we could just knock it out of the park if we went back in and we did this all in Sweden and it was just us three."
