Taylor Swift Shares Cover, Release Date for New Album ‘The Life of a Showgirl’

Taylor Swift is ready to show you more of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl.

On Wednesday, the pop singer unveiled more details about her highly-anticipated new album, including its album cover and tracklist, following a countdown on her official website.

What does the album cover look like?

The Showgirl cover sees the 35-year-old as a glamorous showgirl, donning a bodice covered in glittering beads, while submerged in what looks like a bathtub. The back artwork shows Swift wearing a plume showgirl headpiece while reclining on a chaise lounge in a deep red-orange hued room.

Swift also shared the cover album on the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce.

“This is my brand new album, it’s called The Life of a Showgirl” Swift said on the podcast, as seen in the clip above. “It was something that I was working on while I was in Europe on the Eras Tour.”

“How on earth did she do this on the tour is still blowing my mind,” said Travis.

“I just love it, I just love it a lot. I love music,” Swift explained. “I would be playing shows. I’d do, like, three shows in a row. I’d have three days off. I’d fly to Sweden, go back to the tour, and actually, like, working on this: I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating.”

“Literally living the life of a showgirl,” Travis added.

“I was. That’s why I called it that,” Swift quipped. “Nailed it.”
