Taylor Swift has revealed her sexiest album artwork yet, as she announces the release date for The Life of a Showgirl on her boyfriend’s podcast.
Swifties won’t have to wait too long for the singer’s 12th album, as she revealed to fans that the launch date for her new album is October 3.
The star revealed the cover on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast, something that was teased just days before.
‘This is my new album, The Life Of A Showgirl. It’s something I was working on while I was in Europe on the Eras tour,’ she revealed.
She explained that she was exhausted but was truly living the life of a showgirl while she made this album while touring.
‘I just love music. I would be playing shows three nights in a row, then I would have three days off.
‘I would fly to Sweden. Working on this, I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating.’
Travis added: ‘You were literally living The Life of a Showgirl.’
She replied: ‘I was, I was, which is why I named it Life of a Showgirl!’
Fans were shocked and delighted by the coverwork, noting that it was certainly the sauciest look from Taylor to date.
‘Taylor Swift is in her sexy era yall 😛 she bouta give the pop girlies a run for their money 🤌🫡 Taylor Sexy era 😏,’ said IndustryTingz on X.
‘Taylor Swift is going sexy for her next album. Be prepared for the internet to collapse into the greatest black hole ever,’ said StephanieN924.
‘Okay, but how sexy Taylor Swift looks in this new album is superior,’ saidelotenvaso_.
In the podcast, she also revealed the 12 track titles and confirmed that her 12th track is a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, something that fans had been speculating about for some time.
Swift also confirmed that she co-produced her new album with Max Martin and Shellback, heavyweights in the music industry that she had worked with on previous albums including Red, 1989, and Reputation.
She also added that this would be an ‘upbeat’ album with ‘bangers’ and said: ‘It just comes from the most infectious, joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in my life, so that effervescence has come through in this album.’
In a sweet moment, Taylor opened up about her relationship with Travis, revealing that she felt she ‘manifested him’ as they spoke about how he first reached out to her via the podcast.
The star also teared up as she spoke about buying back her music and finally being the owner of the original copies of her first albums.
