Taylor Swift has revealed details of her new album and given a rare insight into her relationship with boyfriend Travis Kelce during a highly anticipated appearance on his podcast.
The pop superstar used the interview on New Heights, co-hosted with Travis’s brother Jason Kelce, to announce that her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, will be released on 3 October.
She also discussed how she and Travis got together and their life together, as well as subjects ranging from reclaiming the rights to her first albums, the hidden clues she plants in music for fans, and her record-breaking Eras Tour, to her love of baking sourdough bread.
It marked a change for the megastar, who tends not to give interviews, instead sharing updates on her life through song lyrics, which are dissected by obsessed fans.
As well as the release date, Swift revealed the cover of The Life of a Showgirl, which features the singer wearing a jewelled dress lying in water, with only her face and wrist above the surface.
The cover represents her private moments after coming off stage on tour, she explained. “This represents the end of my night… My show days are the same every single day, I just have a different city. And my day ends with me in a bathtub – not usually in a bedazzled dress.”
And the album itself is about “the life beyond the show”, she said.
“I would say it’s everything that was going on behind the curtain.”
Swift explained that she wrote the album while on her Eras Tour and would frequently return to Sweden to work with collaborators Max Martin and Shellback while performing in Europe, in order to record it.
“I was basically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating,” she said.
Travis added: “Literally living the life of a showgirl.”
The record was simultaneously made available for pre-order on her website, which started crashing as soon as the podcast began.
