Taylor Swift Curates Exciting Spotify Playlist Before ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ Release

## Taylor Swift’s New Album Announcement

Shortly after confirming her 12th album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, Taylor Swift’s fans noticed intriguing new billboards popping up in New York City and Nashville. These billboards directed fans to a freshly curated Spotify playlist titled “And, baby, that’s show business for you.”

### Exclusive Playlist Features

This playlist, put together by Swift, showcases 22 of her past songs, starting with “22” and wrapping up with “Wonderland.” Notably, every track in the collection was produced by Max Martin and Shellback, the duo known for their work on *Red*, *1989*, and *Reputation*. Although Swift hasn’t revealed much about the upcoming album, many fans speculate that these producers will play a pivotal role once again.

Martin and Shellback have crafted some of Swift’s most significant hits, including “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “Bad Blood,” and “Shake It Off.” Their collaboration was instrumental in her transition from country to pop during her fourth album, *Red*, which was launched in 2012. Recently, Swift has also been working with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, particularly on *The Tortured Poets Department*.

### Exciting Teaser Announcement

In a recent teaser for the *New Heights* podcast, Swift revealed details about her upcoming album, marking the start of a new musical era. The announcement took place alongside her boyfriend and podcast host Travis Kelce, as Swift opened a mint green case with her initials highlighted in orange. “I wanted to show you something,” she says while revealing the album’s title, *The Life of a Showgirl*. The cover image remains obscured in the clip and is set to be revealed in the actual podcast episode.

### Anticipated Release Information

While an official release date for the album is still under wraps, indications suggest a fall launch. Fans who preorder the vinyl from Swift’s website are informed it will “ship before 10/13/25,” but this is not necessarily the release date.

The episode featuring Swift on *New Heights* will premiere on Wednesday. Enthusiastic Swifties kicked off their investigative efforts on Monday when *New Heights* hinted at a special guest, which turned out to be Swift herself.
