Taylor Swift Reveals ‘Life of a Showgirl’ Release Date, Album Cover & Track List Featuring Sabrina Carpenter

All Swiftie eyes were on Taylor Swift‘s social media accounts Wednesday (Aug. 13), as the pop star finally revealed details about her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, after days of teasing.

As shared by the pop superstar promptly at 7 p.m. ET on Instagram, her 12th studio LP will arrive Oct. 3, featuring a collaboration with former Eras Tour opener Sabrina Carpenter on the title track. The only producers on the credits are Max Martin and Shellback, the team behind some of Swift’s biggest 1989 and Reputation hits.

Swift also unveiled the cover art — a sparkly photo of the singer dressed in sparkly netting, staring pointedly into the camera — as well as the LP’s track list. The full-length opens with a song titled “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Opalite,” “Father Figure,” “Cancelled!” and more.

“And, baby, that’s show business for you,” Swift wrote in her caption.

The announcement dropped at the same time as a countdown ended on the musician’s website, which now has four different variants of Life of a Showgirl available to order: the “Sweat and Vanilla Perfume” edition, the “It’s Frightening” edition, the “It’s Rapturous” edition and the “It’s Beautiful” edition. Each version features different artwork and photo cards as well as a jewelry box with a different collectible charm bracelet.

Also at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Swift’s guest appearance on an episode of boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast premiered. The installment — on which the pop star spoke about the new album, finishing her Eras Tour and reclaiming her masters — arrived just two days after the Kelce brothers first started teasing that Swift would guest on New Heights by sharing a photo of a blacked-out silhouette with a glittery orange background.

“92%ers, we’re coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest,” they wrote on social media Monday (Aug. 11). At 12:12 a.m. ET the following morning, Swift confirmed that she had a new album on the way through a New Heights teaser video that dropped on socials, in which she shared the LP’s title. “So I wanted to show you something,” she’d said in the clip from the episode, holding up a blurred-out copy of her new LP as Travis beamed beside her. “This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.”

The Life of a Showgirl will mark Swift’s first full-length since 2024’s The Tortured Poets Department, which spent 17 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
