What to know about 'The Life of a Showgirl'

"The Life of a Showgirl" will be Swift's 12th studio album.

It follows Swift's 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," which was released on April 19, 2024.

That album came with an extra surprise for fans, when Swift dropped an additional 15 songs at 2 a.m. that same day.

"It's a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album," she wrote on social media at the time. "I'd written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here's the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn't mine anymore… it's all yours."

Has Taylor Swift revealed the release date of 'The Life of a Showgirl'?

The "Fortnight" singer hasn't shared any details about the upcoming album just yet, beyond its title.

However, fans have been speculating on social media when the album will arrive and are waiting to hear more details from Swift during the Aug. 13 podcast episode.
