The popstar revealed her new album's cover on the episode, while also speaking in detail about what The Life of A Showgirl was all about."I'm so proud of it, and it just comes from, like, the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life. And so that effervescence has come through on this record... I wanted the album to feel the way my life felt, and this completely matches the way that my life has felt," she said.Speaking about the theme of the album, Taylor Swift added it was all about what went on "behind the curtain," as is also hinted in the album covers. The names of the songs revealed by the singer also hint at a similar theme, where it will be all about exploring the unseen side of glamour and fame. One of her earlier covers depicted the pop star lying in a bathtub."This represents the end of my night... My show days are the same every single day. I just happen to be in a different city. And my day ends with me in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress... I wanted to sort of, like, glamorize all the different aspects of how [the Eras Tour] felt, and that's how that felt to be at the end of the night when all this has gone down," Swift said about the cover.Interestingly, one of Taylor Swift's songs on the album is called The Fate of Ophelia, which appears to be a reference to William Shakespeare's iconic heroine from his play, Hamlet. In the play, Ophelia died while drowning in a stream with flowers all around her.Another one of her tracks is named Elizabeth Taylor, referencing the popular and iconic yesteryear actress of the same name. Such names also seemingly hint at the album's theme about dealing with fame and success. One of the tracks, Father Figure, is expected to be a sampling of George Michael's 1987 track of the same name. Michael is also credited as one of the lyricists of the track.Speaking of her album, Swift's fiancé, Travis Kelce, opined that it would mark a "complete 180" turn from her last work, The Tortured Poets Department. He described the upcoming album as a "lot more upbeat" and "fun pop."Max Martin, Shellback, and Taylor Swift herself will produce The Life of a Showgirl. This album marks the first time Swift has joined hands with Martin since her 2017 album, Reputation. Martin and Shellback have also been given writing credits for all of the tracks of The Life of a Showgirl.The Life of a Showgirl will drop on all streaming platforms on October 3, 2025.
