Taylor Swift enlisted the support of her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason to reveal The Life of a Showgirl, the title of her upcoming 12th studio LP, along with the siblings sharing the news in a teaser for the pop superstar’s upcoming appearance on their New Heights podcast.
In a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday (8.11) at 12.12am ET:
Swift “Can I show you something?”
Jason “Okay. What do we got? We got a briefcase? Mint green, with T.S. on it.”
Taylor “Yup.”
Jason “What’s in it?”
Taylor “This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.”
Travis “TS12!”
Though the record’s cover art remained obscured, Swift’s website now displays a blurred orange and green image, alongside options to purchase CD, cassette and vinyl versions of the forthcoming full length.
While the artwork remains a mystery, it seems that the color orange is involved as the New Heights set included several books with covers in the hue, including tomes featuring the works of modernist and neo-expressionist artists Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marc Chagall and Ruth Asawa, as well as abstract painter Mark Rothko.
Featuring a glittery orange backdrop and a mint green clock, on Monday (8.11,) Swift added a countdown to her website which expired at 12.12am on Tuesday.
In a teaser clip shared on X, Taylor told Travis, who was wearing a sky blue sweatshirt: “That’s such a nice colour on you.” Her boyfriend replied: “Yes, I know. It’s the color of your eyes, sweetie. It’s why we match so well.” Swift exclaimed “We’re about to do a f****** podcast!”
It is not yet known when The Life of a Showgirl will be released, but Taylor’s website confirmed orders will be sent out prior to October 13.
