Prior to its commercial release, Taylor Swift‘s new album has broken another Spotify record!
Having recently announced the October 3 release of The Life Of A Showgirl, her 12th studio LP, on Monday (9.01,) the streaming giant revealed that the record is already making history, with a Spotify post that read “On August 31st, 2025, Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ became the most pre-saved album Countdown Page in Spotify history.”
Besting her own Spotify history, the 35-year-old superstar singer/songwriter’ album The Tortured Poets Department held the prior record with Swift breaking a number of milestones over the last few years, including being named their most-streamed artist of 2024.
Containing a significant amount of orange color in the artwork and promotional teasers, the multi-Grammy award winner recently explained the hue represents the “exuberant and electric and vibrant” feeling she experienced while making the record during The Eras Tour.
When asked about the significance of the color orange, during an appearance on the New Heights podcast with her fiancee Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, Taylor replied “I’ve just always liked it … It feels like energetically how my life has felt – and this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during [The Eras Tour], which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant.”
Discussing the LP art that features her wearing a jeweled costume under a bath tub full of water, the Pennsylvania-born songstress said the picture represents her at the end of a concert night when she always ends with a soak, adding “This represents the end of my night … My show days are the same every single day, I just have a different city. And my day ends with me in a bathtub – not usually in a bedazzled dress … [The album represents] the life beyond the show … I would say it’s everything that was going on behind the curtain.”
Reuniting with producers Max Martin and Shellback for her latest full length collection after working with the pair on her albums Red, 1989, and Reputation, Ms Swift said:
“One of the things about this record is, like, it’s a record I made with my mentor Max Martin and Shellback. The three of us have made some of my favorite songs that I have ever done before.” “They were my main collaborators on my Red album. We did We Are Never Getting Back Together, I Knew You Were Trouble, 22, Shake It Off, Blank Space, Style, Wildest Dreams, Ready for It, Delicate.” “They’re just geniuses”.
