Taylor Swift announces 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl'

On this morning, Taylor Swift announced her twelfth studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” at 12:12 a.m. ET via her website and the New Heights podcast.
Amid her masters dispute, Swift purchased back her first six albums and re-recorded her debut album “Taylor Swift” to regain artistic control.
Fans sparked a frenzy on platforms like X after a two-hour countdown on Swift’s website expired at 12:12 a.m. ET, briefly crashing her site.
Amid the buzz, pre-orders launched on Swift’s US website for cassette, CD and vinyl formats, with shipments expected before October 13, 2025.
Broader context shows it follows her May 2025 master reclamation, her first since The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024 and the December 2024 Eras Tour finale.
