Taylor Swift’s 12th album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl,’ will be released on Oct. 3, 2025. Here’s everything to know about why Taylor Swift chose October 3 to release her new album.

The news was preceded, in typical TAS fashion, by a few big hints: First came a post from Taylor Nation, the official Instagram account of Swift’s management team, with a 12-image carousel of the singer in orange ensembles, to the sweet strains of 2020’s “August.” The caption? “Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era…’”

Travis Kelce said he's listened to "The Life of a Showgirl" in its entirety and has nothing but positive reviews.
