Taylor Swift’s new album

The Love Story crooner is set to release twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl, on October 3. Taylor Swift revealed the news about the project on her now-fiancé Travis Kelce’s podcast with his brother Jason- New Heights.

The Grammy winner added on the podcast that while she was not a big fan of the NFL when she was growing up, her father was. “I was up in my room playing guitar, learning instruments, playing piano — I was focused on different things. I would go to sporting events so that I could sing the national anthem. I know every halftime show from the Super Bowls, but I didn’t watch the sports.”

The Life of a Showgirl features 12 tracks in total.
