It’s giving ‘No, girl,’ not showgirl. What are we doing? Elegance! Charm! Not that.”<\/p>\n “She’s got cat hair all over her,” director Swift told someone off camera. “Is there a school we could very quickly send her to? Come on, honey, this is show business.”<\/p>\n At 12:12 a.m. E.T. on Aug. 12, a video clip for the New Heights podcast was shared to Instagram<\/a>, which featured Swift asking, “Can I show you something?”<\/p>\n Jason, 37, replied, “Okay. What do we got? We got a briefcase? Mint green, with T.S. on it,” to which Swift added, “Yup.”<\/p>\n The NFL alum then asked the “Down Bad”<\/a> artist what was in the briefcase. “This is my brand-new album,\u00a0The Life of a Showgirl,” she replied \u2014 however, in the video clip, the cover remained hidden.<\/p>\n Swift’s website<\/a>\u00a0then began to feature the cryptic orange-and-green blurred album cover, alongside options to purchase vinyl, cassette and CD versions.
