"Taylor Swift always has some tricks up her sleeve. The singer even confirmed as such on Sept. 24, when she announced a new Target-exclusive vinyl of her new album The Life of a Showgirl, which drops on Oct. 3. "A showgirl knows to save some of her best tricks for the grand finale..." she wrote. Naturally, this sent the fans into overdrive as they began to investigate what she meant."
"With her past two albums, Swift had a nocturnal surprise just hours after album release, releasing (3 a.m. Edition) with extra bonus tracks at 3 a.m. in 2022, then revealing that The Tortured Poets Department was a double album in 2024, dropping The Anthology at 2 a.m. Therefore, some fans think she'll complete the 3-2-1 countdown with Showgirl, making a big announcement at 1 a.m."
"When she announced The Life of a Showgirl on fiancé Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast, Swift was very clear that the album features 12 tracks - and that's it. "There's no other songs coming," she emphasized. "This is 12. There's not a 13th. This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time.""
Taylor Swift announced a Target-exclusive vinyl of The Life of a Showgirl, scheduled for Oct. 3, and teased a "grand finale" on Sept. 24. Multiple promotional moves preceded the release, including a Showgirl-themed Spotify pop-up, an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and limited-edition signed copies on her website. Fans linked the tease to past late-night surprises: a 3 a.m. Edition with bonus tracks in 2022 and a 2 a.m. Anthology drop in 2024. Swift confirmed the new album contains exactly 12 tracks, and fans conjecture the finale could be an Eras Tour documentary.
