But things ramped up on Monday, Aug. 11, when the “Shake It Off” singer’s team posted a cryptic update on the Taylor Nation Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Thinking about when she said \u201cSee you next era\u2026\u201d \u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83d\udd25,” the post read alongside a carousel of 12 pictures of Swift, 35, donned orange outfits during her wildly popular Eras Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n Adding to the hype, Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce<\/a><\/strong>, posted a teaser for a mystery guest on this Wednesday’s episode of New Heights<\/em><\/a>, the podcast he hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n An Instagram post from New Heights<\/em><\/a> declared, “92%ers, we\u2019re coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest. New episode Wednesday 7PM ET.”<\/p>\n Immediately, Swifties suspected the guest would be Swift based on the silhouette and the orange background.<\/p>\n A few hours later, the podcast confirmed that Swift would join the Kelce brothers<\/a> on Wednesday, Aug. 13. A follow-up Instagram pos<\/a>t showed the “So High School” singer sitting next to her Kansas City Chiefs tight end beau while wearing a pair of black headphones.<\/p>\n “Such a nice color on you,” Swift told Kelce, who donned a blue polo shirt in the clip.<\/p>\n To that, the NFL star replied, “Yes, I know. It’s the color of your eyes, sweetie. It’s why we match so well.”<\/p>\n Swift then exclaimed, “We’re about to do a f–king podcast!”<\/p>\n Just after midnight, Swift confirmed her new album<\/a> in another New Heights<\/em> sneak peek clip.<\/p>\n “So I wanted to show you something,” she declared while pulling out a briefcase. “This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl!<\/em>“<\/p>\n On X,<\/a> Swifties enthusiastically reacted to Swift’s 12th album news.<\/p>\n One exclaimed, “I CANNOT WAITTTTTT.”<\/p>\n Someone else wrote, “OH MY GOD.”<\/p>\n Another echoed, “THIS IS INSANE,” as a different X user demanded to know, “OUT WHEN OUT WHENNNN.”<\/p>\n Yet another fan commented, “AAAAAAHHHHHHH\ud83e\udde1.”<\/p>\n In the wake of the singer’s huge announcement, New Heights<\/em> will likely break viewer records on Wednesday when Swift presumably shares further details with Swifties about The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>. We can’t wait to learn more about the release date and cover art!<\/p>\n Next: Andy Reid Dishes on Story He\u2019d Tell at Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce\u2019s Wedding<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Taylor Swift Fans Devolve Into a Frenzy After Her Major 12th Studio Album Announcement<\/a> first appeared on Parade on Aug 12, 2025<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
