Taylor Swift surprised fans by announcing her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," on her website. The announcement followed a countdown timer, with vinyl editions slated to ship before October 13th. Fans had speculated about a new album after a TikTok slideshow from Taylor Nation featured 12 orange-themed images. A limited edition orange glitter vinyl and cassette are available for pre-order. The announcement was further teased by Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce's, podcast, "New Heights," which features Swift in a teaser video showing her pulling the album from a briefcase. The album follows her record-breaking "The Tortured Poets Department" and is her first release since she regained control of her entire music catalog. This acquisition marks the culmination of her multi-year effort to re-record her first six albums after a dispute over ownership. These re-recordings, known as "Taylor's Versions," have been massive successes, all debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
