TS12 Is Coming! Taylor Swift Just Announced Her Next Album
Taylor Swift is back and live from…Travis Kelce’s podcast studio in Kansas City?
It’s true! After an announcement on Monday night that Swift would soon appear on New Heights, Kelce’s show with his brother, Jason, a clip shared on Swift and New Heights’ Instagram feeds showed Swift with both Kelces, wielding a special surprise: her next album, titled The Life of a Showgirl. Though both the cover and the official release date remain under wraps, the record is now available to pre-order.
The news was preceded, in typical TAS fashion, by a few big hints: First came a post by Taylor Nation, the official Instagram account of Swift’s management team, which shared a 12-image carousel of the singer in orange ensembles, to the sweet strains of 2020’s “August.” The caption? “Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era…’”
Next, the New Heights Instagram account teased a special episode with a “VERY” special guest—capitalization pulled directly from the caption. The post’s comments were quickly filled with fans fairly confident about who that guest would be. Then came a video featuring Travis and Taylor herself, who exclaimed: “We’re about to do a f***ing podcast!”
So, what’s the story behind The Life of a Showgirl? And what’s with all the orange, for that matter?Only time—and, well, the Kelce brothers’ podcast—will tell: Tune in this Wednesday at 7 p.m.
