a showgirl
Taylor Swift's 12th album
The life of a Showgirl is the upcoming twelfth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It is scheduled for release on October 3, 2025, via Republic Records. Swift conceived the album during the European leg of her Eras Tour in 2024. She wrote and produced it with Max Martin and Shellback in Sweden, marking her first collaboration with the duo since Reputation (2017). Taylor described the project as a vibrant and lively album about her life as an entertainer.
The Life of a Showgirl contains 12 songs, with Sabrina Carpenter featured on the title track. Photographed by Mert and Marcus, Swift adopted a provocative, showgirl-inspired, orange theme for the album; journalists described it as the most glamorous and flamboyant visual aesthetic of her career. She announced the album on the August 13, 2025, episode of New Heights, the sports podcast by Jason and Travis Kelce, which became the most-watched podcast premiere ever.
