Taylor Swift just proved once again that, yes, she can still in fact make the whole place shimmer.

The 14-time Grammy winner peeled back the curtain on her glittery new album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, during an appearance Wednesday on the *New Heights* podcast, which is hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason.

The 12-track record, which was produced entirely by Swift and Max Martin and Shellback (who previously worked on the singer-songwriter's *Red*, *1989*, and *Reputation* albums) will debut Oct. 3. Of working with the duo again, Swift shared, "This was the time where it felt like all three of us in the room were carrying the same weight as creators. Really special. It meant the world to me to have this creative experience where, like, we knew that we had to bring the best ideas we've ever had. And I know the pressure I'm putting on this record by saying that, but I don't care, because I love it that much. [I'm] confident. So proud of it. And it just comes from, like, the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life."

The cover of the album features a sultry Swift dressed as — you guessed it — a showgirl, complete with a sequined bustier and bright magenta lips. There are four limited-edition "variants" of the album available on her website now, which come in the sparkly colors of orange, maroon, periwinkle, and silver. In order, their official titles are the "sweat and vanilla perfume edition," "it's frightening edition," "it's rapturous edition," and "it's beautiful edition." All come with various special posters, photos, and accessories.

The song titles in order are: "The Fate of Ophelia," "Elizabeth Taylor," "Opalite," "Father Figure," "Eldest Daughter," "Ruin The Friendship," "Actually Romantic," "Wi$h Li$t," "Wood," "Cancelled!," "Honey," and "The Life of a Showgirl" featuring Sabrina Carpenter.

Is Taylor Swift about to drop major news on Travis Kelce's podcast? Here are all the clues pointing to her 'next era'

Swift shared on the podcast that she chose the color orange as the main theme for the album because, "it feels like kind of energetically how my life has felt. And this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this [Eras] tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant."

The singer revealed that she (somehow?) found time while she was on the tour in Europe to record *Showgirl*. "I just love it," Swift shared. "I just love it a lot. I love music. I would be playing shows. I'd do, like, three shows in a row. I'd have three days off. I'd fly to Sweden, go back to the tour, and actually, like, working on this. I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating." The life of a showgirl, indeed.

As for the album's sound, Swift promised "bangers."

The information deluge comes two days after Swift whipped her fans into a frenzy on Monday, when the Swift-affiliated social media account Taylor Nation shared an Instagram post with 12 photos, using the caption, "Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…' ❤️‍🔥 ."

Around the same time, the *New Heights* Instagram account shared a tease for an unexpected special episode with "a VERY special guest" set for Aug. 13 (13, of course, being Swift's favorite number). Jason could be seen wearing what looks like Swift merch, and all of this made fans speculate that the pop star would be the special guest.

A countdown on Swift's official website set to expire at 12:12 a.m. on Aug. 12 later confirmed this. At that time, Swift and the official *New Heights* socials jointly shared a clip of the singer on the podcast revealing the album — which was blurred out — and the title, *The Life of a Showgirl*, but nothing more. A "pre pre-order" for the album went up on TaylorSwift.com at the same time.

*This is a developing story. More to come.*
