After the moody, black-and-white era of “The Tortured Poets Department” album broke records, Taylor Swift is ushering in a bold new era with her 12th studio album “The Life of a Showgirl.”
Announced last Tuesday on “New Heights,” the podcast hosted by NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, with Travis being her boyfriend, the project has quickly been dubbed as “TS12” by Swifties.
The album’s visuals feature a striking mix of turquoise and orange tones, evoking a dazzling showbiz aesthetic. Swift describes it as the record she’s long dreamed of creating, filled with high-energy and feel-good pop tunes.
Taylor Swift’s upcoming album “The Life of a Showgirl” is set to deliver “12 bangers” featuring the collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, guaranteed to get fans dancing. Designed as a tight, no-filler collection, it skips deluxe editions or surprise tracks, presenting a complete musical package. Here’s the lineup of her new album:
- The Faith of Ophelia
- Elizabeth Taylor
- Opalite
- Eldest Daughter
- Ruin the Friendship
- Actually Romantic
- Wi$h Li$t
- Wood

Early buzz suggests the album may balance glitzy pop with pointed commentary including rumored references to figures like Blake Lively and Donald Trump set against heartfelt loves songs inspired by her relationship with Travis Kelce.
Taylor Swift’s new album “The Life of a Showgirl” will be released on October 3, 2025.
