Taylor Swift’s 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, is officially coming this fall.
The pop star, announcing the news on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast New Heights Wednesday, said her latest album will be released on Oct. 3 and feature 12 new songs. Swift said the album is about what was going on during her life while she was on the Eras Tour.
“It just comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life,” Swift told the Kelce brothers on the podcast.
“As you said, bangers,” she joked. Swift also confirmed on the podcast there would be no other songs on the album aside from the 12 announced tracks, referencing her surprise double-album drop of The Tortured Poets Department. “This is the record I’ve been wanting to make,” the pop star said.
Swift also released the tracklist for The Life of a Showgirl, which features a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter that ends the album. The album’s first track will be “The Fate of Ophelia.” Track five, a coveted placement on a Swift album, which typically features the most emotional moment of the project, will be “Eldest daughter.”
The album reunites Swift with mega-producer and former collaborators Max Martin and Shellback. Swifties have been heavily speculating Martin and fellow Swedish producer Shellback’s involvement in the album since billboards in New York and Nashville drew fans to a new Taylor Swift Spotify playlist, which featured 22 Swift songs that were made with Martin and Shellback. The move could mean a sonic turn for Swift, leaning heavier toward pop; the duo worked with Swift on some of her biggest, more pop-leaning hits like “Blank Space,” “Shake It Off,” “22” and “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
Swift’s appearance on New Heights was a hot topic of conversation since it was announced earlier this week. “This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago,” Swift joked during Wednesday’s episode.
