Swift, who has won 14 Grammys, including an unprecedented four trophies for album of the year, announced the album in a podcast episode with her boyfriend and US football star Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce.
“This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl,” Swift said while holding a blurred-out version of the album cover, in a clip of the New Heights podcast on Instagram
Swift’s website said the official release date of the album would be announced later.
The vinyl version of the album is available for pre-order on Swift’s website at $30. The cassette version costs $20, and a CD with a poster of Swift is available for $13. The megastar, whose record-breaking Eras tour was the first to surpass $1 billion in revenue, announced the album after she purchased the master recordings of her first six albums in May, giving her control of all of her music after a dispute with her former record label.
Swift’s last album The Tortured Poets Department sold 2.61 million albums and streaming units during its first week of release in the US.
