Taylor Swift has made an official declaration about her upcoming 12th studio album titled “The Life of a Showgirl,” slated for release on October 3, 2025. On August 13, she shared this exciting news via Instagram at 7 p.m. ET, also unveiling the album cover, complete track list, and details regarding special editions.
As a devoted follower, I’m thrilled to share that in my upcoming album, you’ll hear Sabrina Carpenter grace the title track. You might remember her as one of the opening acts during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour segment. Interestingly, this collaboration marks Taylor’s first full-length release since 2024, with “The Tortured Poets Department” holding the top spot on the Billboard 200 for a staggering seventeen weeks.
Collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter on title song
The 12-song album finishes with “The Life of a Showgirl” (with Sabrina Carpenter). In an earlier conversation with Rolling Stone, Carpenter shared about her partnership with Swift, “I wouldn’t dare compare my life, my journey, or my path to anything like hers. We’re both quite open with each other about our shared respect and adoration.
Carpenter revealed that Swift’s music resonates deeply with her, stating, “There are times when she releases songs that I hadn’t even realized I was in need of them.

Swift not only released the album in four distinct versions but also included exclusive artwork, photo cards, and charm bracelets within each – the Sweat and Vanilla Perfume Edition, It’s Frightening, It’s Rapturous, and It’s Beautiful editions. Each of these collector’s items comes packaged in a jewelry box.
Here’s what inspired The Life of a Showgirl
During an appearance on the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, Taylor Swift explained that the inspiration for her latest album emerged from her experiences throughout the Eras Tour. “The album reflects the events unfolding in my personal life behind the scenes during this tour,” she noted. “It was such a lively, energetic, and colorful period, and I believe that excitement is captured on this record…it’s packed with hit after hit.
The album, as affirmed by Swift, consists of exactly twelve songs, featuring no extra or bonus tracks. She explained that removing any song would weaken the overall album, while adding a new track wouldn’t significantly alter its character.
