After all, she\u2019d just spend two years on the biggest tour in pop history, while capping a first half of the decade that included four totally new albums and another four re-recordings of her early LPs \u2014 a project that came to an end (at least temporarily) this year with her long-sought acquisition of her masters. A break seemed much-deserved, and possibly necessary. But as of last week, break\u2019s over: Taylor Swift took to her boyfriend Travis Kelce\u2019s <em>New Heights<\/em> podcast to announce 12th album <em>The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>, arriving Oct. 3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On this week\u2019s Pop Star Preview episode of the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/t\/greatest-pop-stars-podcast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Greatest Pop Stars podcast;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Greatest Pop Stars podcast<\/a>, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard executive editor of music (and longtime Swift correspondent) Jason Lipshutz to discuss the earliest transmissions from Swift\u2019s <em>Showgirl <\/em>era.

Does a return to the sound and the collaborators of <em>1989<\/em> also portend a return to the blockbuster status of <em>1989<\/em>?
