Taylor Swift’s 12th album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl,’ will be released on Oct. 3, 2025. Here’s everything to know about why Taylor Swift chose October 3 to release her new album.

Swifties knew it was coming! TS12 was confirmed by the mastermind herself alongside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, on his and his brother Jason Kelce's 'New Heights' podcast.

When Taylor Swift announced her 11th album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” in February 2024, the album dropped two months later. This leaves us to speculate that the new album will follow the same timeline, especially with the preorder date already set.
