She will also appear on The Graham Norton Show on Friday evening, alongside Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy<\/a>, Tron: Ares actors Greta Lee and Jodie Turner-Smith<\/a>, and Irish star Domhnall Gleeson.<\/p>\n

The Life Of A Showgirl is Swift\u2019s first record since she announced her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce<\/a>, and since she revealed in May that she had regained control over her back catalogue.<\/p>\n

It follows 2024\u2019s The Tortured Poets Department, which was released in the middle of her record-breaking Eras Tour.<\/p>\n

Friday night will also see the launch of The Official Release Party Of A Showgirl in cinemas, which features the world premiere of the music video for the single The Fate Of Ophelia, as well as behind-the-scenes footage, lyric videos from the album, and \u201ccut by cut explanations\u201d of what inspired the music.<\/p>\n

The 89-minute film will be screened in cinemas around the country, with fans flocking to multiplexes to celebrate the new music together.<\/p>\n

Many screenings are already sold out, including at the landmark Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, where showings at 8.15pm and 8.45pm are already at capacity.<\/p>\n

Swift will follow up her UK appearances with a visit to Jimmy Fallon\u2019s The Tonight Show in the US on October 6.<\/p>\n

She will also appear on Late Night With Seth Meyers on October 8, serving as the sole guest in an episode billed as the \u201cTAY\/kover\u201d.<\/p>\n

Swift announced her new album on the New Heights podcast, hosted by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kelce and his brother Jason, who formerly played for the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n

She said she recorded it while in Europe on the Eras Tour, reuniting with producers Max Martin and Shellback.<\/p>\n

Swift last worked with the Swedish duo in 2017 on her album Reputation but has since favoured collaborations with Jack Antonoff and The National\u2019s Aaron Dessner.<\/p>\n

The Life Of A Showgirl features 12 songs, with Sabrina Carpenter joining Swift on the title song as the only collaboration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift\u2019s new album will be released on Friday (Doug Peters\/PA) – (PA Archive) Taylor Swift will be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56039,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[251,430,784,156,788,782,111,43,785,783,786,139,69,787,255],"class_list":["post-56038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-breaking-news","tag-celebrities","tag-daily-news","tag-entertainment","tag-global-news","tag-inkl","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-news-app","tag-news-headlines","tag-news-today","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-today-news","tag-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
