Pop superstar Taylor Swift said her forthcoming album, the upbeat The Life of a Showgirl, was inspired by the joy she felt when she was performing around the world on her record-setting Eras Tour.<\/p>\n
Swift appeared on the New Heights podcast hosted by her boyfriend, National Football League player Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce. Showgirl will be released on October 3, the singer said on the episode aired on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant,\u201d Swift said.
\n\u201cIt just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said that effervescence came through and promised some \u201cbangers.\u201d Swift has won 14 Grammys, including an unparalleled four Album of the Year honours. Showgirl will be her 12th original album.<\/p>\n
The Eras Tour, which featured music from throughout her two-decade career, concluded in December 2024 and grossed more than $2 billion. The singer said she jetted to Sweden between European tour dates to record Showgirl.<\/p>\n
She said her goal was to produce \u201cmelodies that were so infectious that you\u2019re almost angry at it\u201d and lyrics that were \u201cas vivid, crisp, focused and completely intentional.\u201d<\/p>\n
The cover for the 12-track album features Swift floating underwater in a bejewelled bodice. She said the image represented the end of her night on tour.<\/p>\n
The title track is a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter. Other songs include \u2018Elizabeth Taylor\u2019, \u2018Eldest Daughter\u2019 and \u2018Actually Romantic\u2019.<\/p>\n
Kelce said the Showgirl album \u201cwill make you dance\u201d and was a contrast to Swift\u2019s last release, The Tortured Poets Department. \u201cOh yeah,\u201d said Swift, who agreed that her music often reflected her feelings at the time. \u201cLife is more upbeat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pop superstar Taylor Swift said her forthcoming album, the upbeat The Life of a Showgirl, was inspired by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-74339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
