Taylor Swift on New Heights podcast
LOS ANGELES - Taylor Swift said on Aug 13 that her newest album, The Life Of A Showgirl, would be released on Oct 3, sharing the details with her legion of fans in a rare podcast appearance.
The American pop star spoke about the album, reclaiming her master recordings and her blockbuster The Eras Tour on New Heights, which is co-hosted by Travis Kelce - her boyfriend and a three-time Super Bowl champion.
The Life Of A Showgirl is her 12th studio album and her first since The Tortured Poets Department, released in April 2024.
The album's producers are Max Martin, Shellback and Swift, and the title track features American singer Sabrina Carpenter.
On New Heights, Swift affirmed an observation by Kelce that the new album would be a "180" from many of the songs on The Tortured Poets Department. "Oh yeah," she said. "Life is more upbeat."
Swift received some unusually blunt criticism after her previous album, when critics like Ms Lindsay Zoladz of The New York Times, and even some fans, suggested that the 31-song album could have used editing.
Swift said the new album would include only 12 songs and that she kept the bar really high.
