While appearing on the new episode of Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast, the “Shake It Off” hitmaker shared some details about her highly anticipated new album.
“Can I show you something?” Taylor asked Jason in the episode’s preview clip.
Jason replied, “OK. What do we got?” as Taylor lifts up a briefcase.
“We got a briefcase? Mint green?” he asked, and Taylor answered, “Yep.”
Noticably surprised by his widening eyes, Jason asked, “What’s in it?”
Taylor then declared, “This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.”
Her boyfriend, Travis, chimes in, cheering, “TS 12!,” which is how Swifties had been referring to the record ahead of the official announcement.
The album’s cover artwork remained obscured in the podcast episode’s preview. Swift’s website and Instagram now display the mysterious orange and green blurred album cover, with the website offering options to purchase vinyl, cassette, and CD versions. The CD version of the album will include a poster.
The track list for The Life of a Showgirl has not been revealed.
Swift added a countdown to her website on Monday, which expired on Tuesday (Aug. 12) at 12:12 a.m. E.T. The countdown featured a glittering orange backdrop with a cryptic clock in mint green lettering.

“That’s such a nice color on you,” Taylor tells Travis while looking at his sky blue sweatshirt.
He replied, “Yes, I know. It’s the color of your eyes, sweeitie. It’s why we match so well.”
