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, working with the duo for the first time since Reputation (2017).

Swift 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.

Background

Taylor Swift released her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19, 2024.[1] Conceived amidst Swift's heightened fame and publicized personal life during the 2023 run of the Eras Tour, The Tortured Poets Department became the global best-selling album of 2024.[2][3] She included songs from the album in a revamped set list for the European and final North American legs of the Eras Tour, running from May to December 2024.[4][5] The tour had a large cultural and socioeconomic impact and became the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.[6][7][8]

In April 2025, Universal Music Sweden reported in a now-deleted post that Swedish violinist Erik Arvinder was involved in the production of Swift's upcoming music.[9][10] On July 15, Hits magazine reported "seismic rumblings of a new Taylor [Swift album]" before removing the claim hours later.[11] Swift teased The Life of a Showgirl with various Easter eggs, with the publications noting the specific outfit choices, social media posts, numbers, visuals, and performances, spanning the promotional cycles of Midnights (2022) and The Tortured Poets Department, as well as the Eras Tour.[12][13]

Writing and production

Swift produced the album alongside Swedish producers Max Martin and Shellback, both of whom previously worked with Swift on her albums Red (2012), 1989 (2014), and Reputation (2017).[14] She stated the collaboration began after talking to Martin while the Eras Tour was playing in Stockholm in May 2024,[15] and she traveled to Sweden in between tour dates on the European leg in the following months to record the album.[16] Swift said the album is about what she went through and felt behind the scenes during the tour.[17]

This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant. It just comes from, like, the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life [...] and so that effervescence has come through on this record. And like [Travis Kelce] said, bangers.

— Swift describing the album on New Heights[18]

Swift asserted that there are no bonus songs for the album, as she wanted to have only twelve songs for her twelfth album. Swift explained that she wanted to create "an album that was so focused on quality and on the theme and everything fitting together like a perfect puzzle".[19] She also stated that creating "infectious" melodies was one of her goals with the album, in contrast to its lyrically heavy predecessor.[20] It is her first album since Red to not involve the American record producer Jack Antonoff.[1]

Songs

The second track of The Life of a Showgirl is titled after the English-American actress Elizabeth Taylor (left). Sabrina Carpenter (right) is a guest feature on the album's title track.

The opening track, "The Fate of Ophelia", is considered a reference to the death of Ophelia, the lead female character of English playwright William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. The second track, "Elizabeth Taylor", is titled after the English-American actress. Swift has previously referenced Taylor in the lyrics of her 2017 song "...Ready for It?" from Reputation. The final song and the title track, "The Life of a Showgirl", features the American singer Sabrina Carpenter, who was one of the opening acts of the Eras Tour and has cited Swift as an artistic influence.[21][22]

Promotion and impact

On August 11, 2025, the weekly sports podcast New Heights, hosted by Swift's boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, posted a thumbnail promoting their next episode, featuring a silhouette of Swift.[23][24] Swift's marketing team, Taylor Nation, shared 12 pictures of Swift in orange-colored outfits from the Eras Tour with the caption "Thinking about when she said, 'See you next era'", referencing the last sentence in The Eras Tour Book.[1][23][25] A countdown with an orange background appeared on Swift's website, ending at 12:12 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−04:00) on August 12.[26][27] Shortly after, New Heights released a snippet from the episode, revealing Swift as their special guest.[27][28] When the countdown ended, Swift's website briefly crashed before revealing the title of her twelfth studio album to be The Life of a Showgirl,[26][27] and featured a pre-order interface for the physical album (vinyl LP, cassette tape, and CD).[29] A second New Heights teaser showed Swift confirming the album's title while displaying a blurred version of the cover artwork.[27][29]

A Spotify playlist curated by Swift, titled "And, baby, that's show business for you", was promoted through billboards in New York City and Nashville, Tennessee. The playlist contained all 22 songs from her discography that were produced by Martin and Shellback.[1][30] Google Searches for "Taylor Swift" displayed orange confetti, a flaming heart emoji, and the previously revealed Spotify playlist title.[31] Following the album announcement, buildings such as the Empire State Building and Kansas City Union Station were illuminated in orange,[32] and media publications such as Women's Wear Daily and National Geographic published stories about the history and influence of showgirls.[33][34] The Life of a Showgirl also inspired various brands, companies, corporations, and franchises to post glittery-orange memes and parodies on their social media accounts.[35][36]

Journalists wrote that Swift "broke the internet" with the New Heights episode and album announcement on August 13.[a] During the podcast, Swift revealed the album's cover artwork, track listing, collaborators, theme, and the release date of October 3.[42] Four deluxe CD variants were also made available for pre-order, each with its own cover, subtitle, and color scheme.[43][44] On August 18, following a countdown using a glittery purple background,[45] two special edition vinyl records for the album, as part of 'The Shiny Bug Edition', were announced.[46] On August 21, following a countdown using a glittery blue background,[47] two special edition vinyl records for the album, as part of 'Baby, That's Show Business Collection', were announced; the cover features several Eras Tour dancers.[48]

Commentators believed that Swift blended her personal life with her career through the podcast appearance, benefiting from high engagement in both her and Kelce's respective fields.[49] According to The Hollywood Reporter, the episode is "one of the most revealing and unguarded interviews" of Swift's entire career, foregoing traditional promotional strategies such as magazines and mainstream television.[50] The release date was decoded as 10/3, which adds up to 13, Swift's favorite number,[51] while some publications highlighted that it is unofficially observed as National Boyfriend Day.[b] Swift also specified that the date coincided with Kelce's birthday weekend.[54]

With over 1.3 million live viewers, the episode achieved the record for the highest-viewed podcast premiere on YouTube,[55] previously held by US president Donald Trump's Joe Rogan Experience appearance.[c] It became the most-watched episode of New Heights, accumulating over 10 million views in less than 20 hours.[60] Some publications also believed this announcement was Swift's response to Trump's open criticism about her,[c] after she had endorsed the opposition Democratic candidates for the 2024 United States presidential election.[61] According to Spotify, New Heights gained a 3,000 percent increase in new listeners, and the number of female listeners went up by 618 percent.[60][62] Within one day of its release, the episode became one of the platform's best-performing podcasts in the previous 12 months.[62]

Artwork and aesthetic

The standard cover is believed as a reference to Ophelia (left), a Hamlet-inspired painting by John Everett Millais. Few other artworks feature a varient of rhinestone bra (right) designed by Bob Mackie for Jubilee! showgirls.

Each of Swift's albums has a color associated with it. The Life of a Showgirl and its album cycle are orange-themed; Swift described the shade as "Portofino Orange Glitter".[63][64] Photographs for the album's showgirl-themed promotional material were shot by Mert and Marcus, who had previously worked with Swift on Reputation.[65]

The standard cover artwork depicts Swift half-submerged in water while wearing a bralette adorned with lines of diamonds covering her torso, customized by AREA.[66] Parts of the cover fragment Swift's body into pieces resembling shattered glass,[66] and the title The Life of a Showgirl is written in orange glitter.[67] Swift stated that the cover was intended to glamorize the offstage parts of the Eras Tour and how each show "ends with [her] in a bathtub".[68] Several journalists interpreted the album's standard cover as a reference to John Everett Millais's Hamlet-inspired painting Ophelia.[66][69][70] Prestige Hong Kong's Surabhi Redkar wrote that "while Ophelia's eyes are left lifeless following her drowning, Swift gazes directly at you from the cover, suggesting that she isn't one to suffer and drown under the norms of patriarchy that once killed Ophelia."[69] Harper's Bazaar's Joel Calfee likened the cover to a scene in the music video for Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" (2017), where she sits in a bathtub full of jewels.[71]

Swift wore customized outfits from the fashion brand The Blonds for the album photoshoot, accessorized with sandals designed by Rene Caovilla and jewellery by Lorraine Schwartz.[72] A rhinestone-encrusted bra and thong set worn by Swift for one of the alternate covers, complete with hip swags, a headpiece, and feathered armbands, was originally designed by the American fashion designer Bob Mackie for the finale of Donn Arden's longest-running revue at the Las Vegas Strip, Jubilee! (1981–2016).[73][74]

Publications characterized the album's overall aesthetic as depicting the flamboyance, extravagance, and maximalism of showgirls.[d] Calfee deemed it the "most provocative aesthetic" of Swift's career,[71] while The Times's Olivia Petter considered The Life of a Showgirl her first album cycle that intentionally sexualized her public image.[76] Marie Claire's Halie LeSavage described the aesthetic as "sensual and sparkling, and the most revealing Swift has ever dressed in the public eye."[66] Jay Stahl and Nicole Fallert from USA Today wrote that it demonstrated Swift "reclaiming ownership over her body from the public".[59]
