"The Life of a Showgirl": New Album by Taylor Swift Coming

The fans are euphoric: US pop megastar Taylor Swift has a new album in the works. It is titled "The Life of a Showgirl" and is the twelfth studio album by the 35-year-old singer. The release was announced with a countdown on the website taylorswift.com, which experienced a surge in traffic - exactly on August 12 at twelve minutes past midnight, the new album was announced there.

Swift announced new album on friend Kelce's podcast

Swift will appear on Wednesday on the podcast of her friend, football player Travis Kelce. On social media, she simultaneously released a clip from the episode in which she pulls the new album out of a suitcase. "I wanted to show you something," the singer says there. The video was clicked over a million times in fifteen minutes.

Fans are now likely eagerly awaiting whether she will reveal in the podcast when the album will be released. On Facebook, fans have already expressed their excitement: "My hand is shaking," wrote one Swiftie. Another fan thanked "higher powers": "We have survived a Taylor drought."

Multiple records with 11th album

Swift concluded her monumental "Eras Tour" in December 2024. The concert series, which began in March 2023, grossed an estimated two billion dollars (around 1.9 billion euros) with more than ten million tickets sold, making it the highest-grossing tour in history. The tour was the "most extraordinary chapter" of her life so far, Swift herself wrote on Instagram.

Their eleventh studio album "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology" was released in April 2024 and was the most globally streamed album of the past year on Spotify. The streaming provider states that the American has nearly 90.4 million monthly listeners. Her music was the most streamed in 2024. On Spotify and in the German charts, Swift set several records with the album shortly after its release.

Fans also celebrate the singer's love life

The icon repeatedly makes headlines with her private life as well. In July, Travis Kelce posted private photos of himself with Taylor Swift on Instagram for the first time. He wrote that he had "some adventures this offseason," alongside the thirteen photos showing him with family, friends, and in most cases, with Swift by his side.

Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs player Kelce made their love official in the summer of 2023. Since then, both have regularly appeared together in public, although Kelce had not previously posted any photos of them together on his Instagram page.

Last summer, after a concert in London, Swift shared her first photo with Kelce - it shows both of them backstage with the British heir to the throne Prince William and his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
