The Life of a Showgirl Lyrics & Tracklist - Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, is her highly anticipated 12th original studio album. Announced on August 12, 2025, via a surprise reveal on the “New Heights” podcast—the show co-hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce—this new era arrives less than a year after her massively successful Eras Tour and the chart-topping The Tortured Poets Department album.

The album is said to embrace a “showgirl” motif, with fan and media speculation pointing to glamorous stage influences, theatrical storytelling, and a vibrant orange visual aesthetic. Swifties noticed the color orange and sparkling art deco motifs dominating teasers and social posts, hinting at a celebratory pop sound and theatrical flair.

Posters and playlists released around the announcement spotlight tracks produced by frequent collaborators Max Martin and Shellback, suggesting their major involvement in shaping this record’s sound, likely blending energetic pop hooks and introspective lyricism.
