It’s been a week of enchanting surprises for Taylor Swift fans, including Ed Kelce.
Following the Grammy-winning artist’s announcement of her 12th album titled “The Life of a Showgirl”, Ed expressed his reaction during a teaser for his forthcoming chat on Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s podcast, “New Heights”. It appeared that he was mostly unaware or out of the loop about this significant milestone.
Travis and Jason’s father revealed on August 13 during Australia’s Today that he was completely unaware of this announcement. He was aware that the boys had expressed a desire to have her on their podcast at some point, but he had no idea when it would happen.
One detail Ed does know for sure? That the Grammy winner has been booked and busy since December.
As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but share that Taylor seems to be giving it her all since wrapping up the tour. She’s carved out some time for football matches here and there, but most of her days have been spent diligently crafting her upcoming album in sunny LA.
He speculated that, even though he hadn’t received any updates, given her past work, the new album would likely be as stunning and captivating as always.
Taylor revealed her long-awaited album news by unveiling a covered vinyl record from a pastel green case within a sneak peek video for the August 13th episode of “New Heights”.
She mentioned, “Let me share something with you,” in the Instagram teaser posted at 12:12 a.m. ET on August 12. The item she wanted to show was her latest album entitled, “The Life of a Showgirl.”
While she didn’t specify a release date for new music, her website indicates that the items up for pre-order will be shipped prior to October 13. However, it’s important to note that this is not an official release date, as the actual release date is yet to be announced.
While many fans of Taylor Swift (Swifties) enjoyed her appearance on their podcast, not every listener of Travis and Jason’s regular show shared the same enthusiasm.
In a subsequent trailer for New Heights posted on social media, Taylor explicitly stated that she’s indifferent if her presence stirs feelings of enchantment, chaos, bliss, or transgression.
In the August 13 recording, she expressed her gratitude for being featured on her preferred podcast and mentioned, “Your audience is primarily composed of sports enthusiasts, many of whom are males.
She continued by stating that it’s likely common knowledge among sports-loving men that they’d enjoy seeing even more of her in their sporting environments and on their viewing screens.
To see all the Easter eggs Taylor has dropped about her new era, keep reading…
Taylor Swift likely didn’t display a countdown clock on her website in glittery orange against the backdrop of 12 at 12:12 AM ET without a specific purpose in mind.
On August 12, 2024, Taylor was captured on camera wearing a coordinated plaid mini-skirt and jacket; however, there was nothing naive or clueless about her stylish ensemble.
According to sharp-eyed detective Kristen (@perfectlyfine89), there are strong indications that Taylor might be intentionally looking directly into the camera lens, and moreover, her attire in orange and green tones echoes the color scheme of the cover art for “The Life of a Showgirl“. Remarkably, she disclosed this connection on Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, a full year after its initial release.
At exactly 12:12 AM ET on August 12, 2025, Taylor was seen grasping a briefcase with a mint-green exterior and the initials “T.S.” in bold orange letters. This briefcase hinted at her upcoming 12th studio album, whose cover was visible yet blurred for now, featuring a combination of green and orange colors.
Without a doubt, Taylor shows a strong affinity for plaid, as seen in her choice of attire at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards when she famously declared “my boyfriend Travis.
You can now pre-order “The Life of a Showgirl” on Taylor’s website. They assure that whether you choose vinyl, CD, or cassette, it will be shipped to you before October 13th.
Certainly established, Taylor has a connection with the number 13. However, it’s worth noting that October 3, or 10-3, isn’t just numerically equivalent to 13; it’s also recognized as National Plaid Day and National Boyfriend’s Day. As you can see, this is significant.
In Taylor’s world, hindsight is crystal clear. On the 11th of August, the authorized Taylor Nation social media accounts shared a series of 12 images showcasing Taylor performing in various orange outfits, with the caption “Reminiscing about when she said ‘I’ll see you in the next phase…’
Travis and Jason playfully hinted at a notable guest appearance on a special episode of New Heights, scheduled for August 13th at 7 p.m. ET. Even casual fans of Taylor Swift could easily recognize what appeared to be a silhouette of Taylor in a promotional post.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “I took part in an extraordinary moment today as I watched the Empire State Building illuminate orange in celebration of something special. At exactly 1:45 PM ET on August 11th, the official account for New York City’s iconic landmark shared a stunning picture of the building bathed in this vibrant hue, accompanied by the intriguing caption, ‘See you next era.’
On October 18, 2024, a TikTok from Taylor’s initial Miami performance during the Eras Tour, depicted her positioned before Section A12 (possibly referring to August 12 and her 12th album?) at Hard Rock Stadium.
In October 18, 2024, a TikTok captured Taylor at her debut Miami concert on the Eras Tour, where she was standing near Section A12 (perhaps alluding to August 12 and her 12th album?) within Hard Rock Stadium.
After making her declaration, “Miami, we’re back!”, she donned a sparkly orange bodysuit. During the 1989 segment of the concert, she switched to a green skirt and an orange bustier. Furthermore, she sported a white feathery costume that evoked a showgirl aesthetic while performing “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”.
Her way of saying that her next album was finished and this is what it looks like?
Indeed, it’s worth noting that orange and green are just as much a part of the official color palette for the Miami Hurricanes, but don’t forget, multiple facts can coexist simultaneously.
A Spotify playlist with the prescient title “And, baby, that’s show business for you” is currently available. This playlist bears the iconic orange T.S. initials set against a lush green backdrop.
It’s worth noting that there are 22 songs by Taylor Swift, which have been brilliantly crafted by the renowned Swedish producers Max Martin, Shellback (also known as Karl Johan Schuster). This has fueled fan theories suggesting that she penned her entire album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” during her European tour and these two were instrumental in its completion.
Audience members have pointed out that the backdrop for the “New Heights” podcast showcases a variety of boxes in shades of orange, red, white, and purple with the initials “T.S.” This could be a clue suggesting potential editions of the album or further music releases on the horizon.
In my enthusiastic dedication, I found an intriguing fan theory on Twitter that connected the dots between Lady Gaga and me in a fascinating way. It highlighted how Lady Gaga dropped her song “Applause” exactly 12 years after my announcement of Life of a Showgirl on August 12. The captivating aspect? I’ve been opening each night of the Eras Tour with “Applause,” paired with Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me.” This theory added another layer to our artistic connection, which I found truly remarkable.
Taylor showed appreciation for a fan’s post suggesting a potential collaboration with Lady Gaga, by commenting: “Could this be the wildest coincidence or is there something more to it?
Fans of Taylor Swift started wondering if Sabrina Carpenter could be part of “Life of a Showgirl” as she was featured in the 12th slide of a photo gallery released by Taylor Nation hinting at the next phase, and on top of that, Sabrina posted a message on her website with August 12th as the date.
