You may have heard, a little-known musician who is rarely discussed has a new album coming out, and it will be celebrated with a movie theater event that’s happening around the country.

Taylor Swift will release her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, next Friday. A nationwide event, dubbed “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,” is scheduled to take place Oct. 3 to 5 in select movie theaters.

The event includes the world premiere of Swift’s music video for “The Fate of Ophelia,” the first single off of her new record.

There won’t be a showing of an entire movie, like Swift’s record-breaking Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film, but the event will include behind-the-scenes footage from the music video, new lyric videos for songs from the album, and interviews with Swift about the recording process.

Those parties will be happening at theaters around Minnesota, of course.

Here’s where Swifties can grab tickets at local theaters to be among the first to see the new music video and hear songs from The Life of a Showgirl.
