Taylor Swift Announces 12th Album on Kelce Podcast

Taylor Swift officially announced her 12th studio album, titled The Life of a Showgirl, during an upcoming episode of the New Heights podcast hosted by her boyfriend, NFL player Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason Kelce. The announcement was made public via a clip where Swift revealed the album cover, alongside a countdown on her website that fueled fan speculation. This marks Swift's first interview since winning Time Person of the Year in 2023 and reflects her growing presence in the NFL community through her relationship with Kelce. Her previous album, The Tortured Poets Department, released in April 2024, was a commercial success, holding the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for 15 weeks, and her recent Eras Tour became the highest-grossing female concert tour ever. Swift also regained full ownership of her music catalog in May 2025, ending a long-standing rights battle. The new album announcement generated significant excitement among fans and media, intertwining her music career with her personal life publicly for the first time on a major podcast platform.
