2025 just got a little more sweeter because Taylor Swift has announced that she'll be releasing her 12th studio album. Better yet, it's dropping later this year, making all Swifties rejoice, because who doesn't want new music from the pop icon? Her work in the industry is an Era all its own.
The Grammy winner announced the news on the New Heights podcast on August 12 at 12:12 AM EST, alongside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce. Taylor was in high spirits when she spilled the beans, as the album, which will be called The Life of a Showgirl, has been in the works for a year.
Dressed in a simple white shirt, signature blonde bangs, and swapping her red lip color for a coral orange shade, the "Love Story" hit maker held up a mint green album, that has been blurred to avoid any spoilers. Despite not being able to see the cover art, it was enough to get the fans excited.
"Can I show you something?" Taylor says in the below podcast clip that was dually shared between New Heights and herself. She then holds up a minty green briefcase with her initials in orange, after piquing interest from the Kelce boys. In the background of the clip, fans tried to crack the possible Easter Eggs, wondering if they have any connection.
"This is my new album, The Life of a Showgirl!", she announced, bringing stadium-like cheers from both Travis and Jason. And the countless Swifties as well, but that's to be expected.
"TS 12!" Travis adds in, obviously proud of his girlfriend's achievement.
