Taylor Swift announces new album called ‘The Life of a Showgirl’

Popstar Taylor Swift on Tuesday announced her 12^th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl”.

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 U.S. 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 from the New Heights podcast on Instagram. The full podcast episode is set to release at 7 pm (1100 GMT).

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 U.S., with Billboard scoring it the largest streaming week for an album ever and the largest sales week for an album on vinyl in the modern era.

Spotify said “The Tortured Poets Department” was its most-streamed album in a single week, surpassing 1 billion streams.
