THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL
by TAYLOR SWIFT

The Life of a Showgirl by Taylor Swift was released on 4 October 2025 through Republic Records.

The Life of a Showgirl by Taylor Swift is a 12-track, 41-minute odyssey that turns fame into theatre and vulnerability into glitter. Blending pop, soft rock, and cinematic storytelling, the record redefines the showgirl as a symbol of resilience and authenticity.

Co-produced with longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback, the 41-minute album blends pop, soft rock, and theatrical storytelling, marking a radiant new chapter in Swift’s sonic evolution. The record captures the tension between spectacle and sincerity, celebrating the magic of performance while confronting the vulnerability beneath the spotlight.

Lead single The Life of a Showgirl featuring Sabrina Carpenter headlines an album rich with cinematic moments, from the orchestral The Fate of Ophelia to the hypnotic Opalite. Each track unveils another act in a glitter-lit story about fame, femininity, and creative survival.
