After almost 24 hours of intense fanfare Taylor Swift has revealed the cover and release date for her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

It shows Swift, 35, lying in a pool of water dressed in a rhinestone-encrusted bodysuit and with her face partly submerged.

She also announced the album’s release date is October 3, 2025, just 50 days away.

At 9am AEST, Swift’s official website released details about her new album following a countdown similar to the one used for the album announcement the day before.

Photos from the site show Swift decked out in classic showgirl attire, from jewelled headdresses to feathered sleeves.

Additionally, she launched four exclusive deluxe editions of the CD for pre-order: the Sweat and Vanilla Perfume Edition, It’s Frightening Edition, It’s Rapturous Edition, and It’s Beautiful Edition.

The Life of a Showgirl will feature 12 tracks with titles like Elizabeth Taylor, Father Figure, Eldest Daughter and CANCELLED!.

The titular track will also feature popstar Sabrina Carpenter, who opened for Swift on the Australian leg of her mammoth Eras Tour in 2024.

Here’s the full The Life of a Showgirl tracklist:

  1. The Fate of Ophelia
  2. Elizabeth Taylor
  3. Opalite
  4. Father Figure
  5. Eldest Daughter
  6. Ruin the Friendship
  7. Actually Romantic
  8. Wi$h Li$t
  9. Wood
  10. CANCELLED!
  11. Honey
  12. The Life of a Showgirl (Feat. Sabrina Carpenter)

Fans were caught off guard when they noticed the tracklist matched a leaked vinyl reportedly an early version of Swift’s 12th album that had circulated online earlier this year.

The unveiling of Swift’s album cover happened to align with her appearance on New Heights, the podcast co-hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce.

There she revealed a physical copy of The Life of a Showgirl vinyl, which she pulled out of a briefcase emblazoned with her initials.

Swift’s new album will drop less than a year after she wrapped up her global Eras Tour, which ran from March 17, 2023 until December 8, 2024.

She played 49 shows across 21 months and five continents, and recorded her largest ever when she performed to 96,000 fans at the MCG in Melbourne.

Less than six months after wrapping up the tour, Swift hit another milestone when she bought back the master recordings to her first six albums.

This development allowed her full control over her entire catalogue for the first time, eliminating the need to re-record her debut self-titled album or her sixth album Reputation.

While some fans had anticipated the release of previously unheard ‘vault tracks’ from those albums as part of her latest record, such speculation remains unconfirmed.
