Taylor Swift has a long history of leaving Easter eggs<\/a> for her fans, and the past several months have been no exception. From color-coded moments on stage<\/a> to cryptic social media activity, Swifties have long suspected<\/a> that the singer\u2019s 12th studio album, nicknamed \u201cTS12\u201d online, was on the way. Now that the announcement is official, here\u2019s what we know so far.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the album called?<\/h2>\n

Drumroll, please… Swift revealed that the new album is called The Life of a Showgirl.<\/em> The news broke in a clip shared by Travis and Jason Kelce\u2019s New Heights <\/em>podcast. She reveals the cover art to them, but it\u2019s blurred in the footage. The full episode is set to air at 7 P.M. EST on August 13, her well-known favorite number<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

The singer has historically favored one-word names (Lover<\/a><\/em>, folklore<\/a><\/em>, Midnights<\/a><\/em>), but her most recent project, The Tortured Poets Department<\/a><\/em>, broke that pattern.<\/p>\n

\n

When will Taylor Swift\u2019s 12th album be released?<\/h2>\n

While Swift hasn\u2019t confirmed a release date, it\u2019s clear that the project will be here soon. Pre-orders are now available<\/a> on her website. <\/p>\n

\n

If you\u2019re looking for a hint: The vinyls<\/a> will be shipped before Oct. 13, 2025, but Swift\u2019s merch site specifies, \u201cTHIS IS NOT THE RELEASE DATE, OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the lead up to this month\u2019s news, eagle-eyed fans have spotted some hints that new music was coming. In May, Swift shared<\/a> a letter on her official site celebrating that she now owns the masters to her entire discography, a milestone she described as \u201cthe best thing that has ever been ours.\u201d Notably, the letter contained the phrase \u201cI was thiiiiiiiiiiiis close\u201d with 12 \u201ci\u201ds, prompting<\/a> fans to see a link to her 12th studio album.<\/p>\n

Adding to the intrigue, Taylor Nation, the singer\u2019s official fan engagement account, has been hosting<\/a> listening parties for each of her past albums in chronological order, leading some to believe the rollout was counting down to a major announcement.<\/p>\n

Plus, during select Eras Tour performances, Swift swapped in orange confetti and outfits, a shade not tied to any of her existing eras, leading fans to believe<\/a> it could be connected to the theme or visual identity of her next album. That theory only grew after a Taylor Nation Instagram post<\/a> on August 11 showed Swift in multiple orange outfits, captioned, \u201cThinking about when she said \u2018See you next era\u2026\u2019 \u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83d\udd25\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

The same day, Swift\u2019s boyfriend, Travis Kelce<\/a>, teased<\/a> a \u201cVERY special guest\u201d for his New Heights<\/em> podcast against an orange backdrop; hours later, the podcast confirmed (with a very flirty clip<\/a>) that the guest is indeed Miss Taylor Alison Swift.
<\/p>\n

How many tracks will be on the album?<\/h2>\n

Tracklist details are still unknown. Swift\u2019s past projects have ranged from the concise (1989\u2019s<\/em> 13 tracks<\/a>) to the expansive (Tortured Poets<\/em>\u2019 31<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What else has Swift said about the new album?<\/h2>\n

Apart from the masters announcement and Taylor Nation\u2019s \u201cSee you next era\u2026\u201d tease,<\/a> Swift has remained publicly silent on TS12\u2014but that hasn\u2019t stopped her fans from piecing together clues. She\u2019ll likely give more details when she sits down with the Kelces on New Heights<\/em>. <\/p>\n
