August 13, 2025: Taylor Swift has officially sent her fans into a frenzy by teasing her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” She made the surprise reveal while she was on the New Heights podcast, which is hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason. This new album is said to be her first since she got back the rights to all of her music, which marks a new chapter in her career.
Swift’s social media team posted a series of orange-themed photographs on the official Taylor Nation Instagram account only minutes before she went on her podcast. This added to the excitement.
