Taylor Swift just announced her brand-new album ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’ But when is it coming out? October 13th??? And what will it sound like? Max Martin? We’re diving into everything we know!
Jason Lipshutz:
It’s funny because, as a longtime Taylor Swift fan, I’m still used to the every other year album releases. ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ was April 2024, I’m mentally like, “All right, see you 2025, maybe 2026.” The fact that we’re getting a new album this year is pretty remarkable.
Tetris Kelly:
Well, with one Swift countdown clock and a teaser from her man Travis Kelce’s podcast, we’re officially in a new era. And her website listed the ship-by date for ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ as October 13th, so when can we expect it?
Jason Lipshutz:
Obviously, vinyl is gonna need some time to be produced and shipped and all that stuff. So maybe the album comes out in October. Maybe the album comes out on Friday. Who knows? Like, maybe we get a single on Friday and an album in September. You know, one thing that is worth noting is the deadline for Grammy eligibility is the end of August. So look, if we get a Taylor Swift album coming out this month, then it will be eligible at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
Tetris Kelly:
She also dropped a playlist featuring songs produced by her ‘1989’ hitmaker Max Martin.
