Taylor Swift's newest album comes out this Friday with The Life Of A Showgirl dropping on October 3. It's the 14-time Grammy winner's twelfth studio album, and expectations are high. Since announcing the album in August on the New Heights podcast with Jason Kelce and her fiancé Travis Kelce, Swift has been slowly ramping up the roll out.
There are currently a handful of different vinyl variants announced, and she's scheduled two talk show appearances — The Graham Norton Show on October 3 and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on October 6 — to talk about The Life Of A Showgirl.
While Swift's impact on the industry isn't really in question, it's still staggering when you look at a list of all the new music coming out the week before she drops an album. The Pop Base social accounts listed all the songs and albums that released on Friday, September 26, and it includes 41 albums.
For comparison, Metacritic has 11 albums expected on October 3, including Swift's.
