Earlier this week, Swift announced her highly anticipated 12th studio album ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’. Earlier today, she confirmed the album’s release date, shared its tracklist and announced the producers who worked on the record with her.

Earlier in the week, it was also confirmed that Swift would be making her first-ever appearance on the New Heights podcasthosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason.

Speaking on the full podcast episode, Swift shared that the upcoming record will differ from her previous album – 2024’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ – in several ways. One of those ways relates to the number of songs attached to ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’.

In April last year, Swift released ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ as a 16-track record, only to surprise-release an extended version just hours after the original album dropped. She would later describe ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ as a double album in a letter to fans – it spanned a total of 31 songs.

Speaking to the Kelce brothers on the New Heights podcast, Swift shared: “There’s no other songs coming. With ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, I was like, ‘Here’s a data dump of everything I thought and felt in two or three years. Here’s 31 songs.’ This is 12. There’s not a 13th, there’s not other ones coming.”

She went on to explain: “This is the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time… Every single song is on this album for hundreds of reasons, you know, and you couldn’t take one out, and it’d be the same album. You couldn’t add one. It’s just right.”
