Release Date for Taylor Swift’s New Album?

WASHINGTON — Swifties, get ready! Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album is finally here. 

Swift announced the project, “The Life of a Showgirl,” in August while appearing as a special guest on the New Heights podcast, hosted by her now-fiancé, Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason. 

“This album is really about what was going on in my life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant,” Swift said in the interview. “I’m so proud of it. It just comes from the most infectiously, joyful, wild dramatic place I was in my life.”

Max Martin and Shellback are the credited producers, leaving a notable absence of her longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff.

“The Life of a Showgirl” will be released at midnight (12 a.m. EST) Friday, Oct 3.

“The Life Of A Showgirl” will be available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. It’s also available for pre-order.

Movie theater chains across the country are also planning to show a limited-time release party, “Taylor Swift | The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,” in theaters nationwide, featuring the exclusive world premiere of Swift’s music video for “The Fate of Ophelia.”

The event will run from Oct. 3 at 3 p.m. EST through Oct. 5 at participating locations.

The album features twelve tracks, with Swift confirming on New Heights that “there are no other songs coming.” It makes “The Life of a Showgirl” her shortest project to date.

• “The Fate of Ophelia”
