Skip to main content Taylor Swift Mert Alas & Marcus Piggot Trending on Billboard Lights, camera, action! After nearly two months of waiting, Swifties rejoiced on Friday (Oct. 3), when Taylor Swift finally unveiled her much-anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’: All 12 Tracks Ranked Taylor Swift Brings the Bangers on ‘Life of a Showgirl,’ But Don’t Call It ‘1989, Pt. 2’: Critic’s Take Taylor Swift Shares Sweet Message With Swifties After ‘Life of a Showgirl’ Drop: ‘An Album That Just Feels So Right’ Across 12 tracks, Swift deconstructs her time in the spotlight — including public relationships, dominating the music scene, public opinion wavering and more — all while teaming up again with her former collaborators Max Martin and Shellback to make a series of soft-rock-meets-pop gems for her fans to dance to this fall. As much as Swifties may be loving the album, Swift herself made it very clear how much she loves the record, too, sharing a message about the project with her fans early Friday morning. “I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right,” she wrote on Instagram. “A forever thank you goes out to my mentors and friends Max and Shellback for helping me paint this self portrait.” The album opens with its lead single, “The Fate of Ophelia,” in which Swift compares herself to the character Ophelia from Shakespeare’s Hamlet — only the pop superstar gets a much happier ending. The LP features only one official collaboration — with fellow pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter on the song’s final, titular track. However, the late pop icon George Michael also makes a subtle appearance on the new album. Swift’s song “Father Figure” interpolates the melody of the Wham! frontman’s solo single of the same name.
