Global pop superstar Taylor Swift has announced her 12th original studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

The surprise reveal came early Tuesday as a countdown on Swift’s official website reached 12:12 a.m. ET.

In a teaser video posted on Instagram, the Grammy-winning singer appeared on a sneak preview of her upcoming guest spot on Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, pulling out a mint-green briefcase with her initials “TS” and declaring: “This is my brand new album.”

Swift did not disclose a release date, but fans will learn more when her New Heights episode airs Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. The announcement followed a cryptic Instagram carousel of 12 images on Monday that fueled speculation among her followers.

This marks Swift’s first new album since concluding her record-breaking Eras Tour in December and the first since regaining full ownership of her entire music catalog.

The album is now available for pre-order in vinyl, cassette, and CD formats via her official website.

Her last studio project, The Tortured Poets Department, was a 31-track double album released in 2024 during the Eras Tour.

Swift has since completed her re-recording project, releasing multiple “Taylor’s Version” albums to reclaim her master recordings following a high-profile dispute over their sale.
