Taylor Swift's next album release will reportedly be a country album, marking a return to country music. It will also be a celebration of her completing 20 years in the industry, as she began her career as a country artist.
On October 3, Taylor Swift released her upcoming twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. The album received mixed reviews and includes a majority of pop songs. She has yet to officially confirm her next project as of now, and it is unclear whether it would be a re-recording or a new album.
Fans took to X to react to rumors of Taylor Swift's next album, marking her return to country music. One X user alluded to Beyonce's last album, Cowboy Carter (2024), for which she won her first Grammy in the Album of the Year category. It was a country album with a distinct style. They wrote:

Other Swifties also weighed in on the discussion and shared their thoughts:
Taylor Swift's first few albums, including her eponymous debut album, Fearless, Speak Now, and Red, were all known for their country influences. The singer's second studio album, Fearless, is the most awarded country album of all time, having won the Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Best Country Song (White Horse) at the Grammys.
Taylor Swift breaks silence on why she's not performing at the Super Bowl
In her appearance on Tonight with Jimmy Fallon this week, Taylor Swift spoke candidly about her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, her fiance, Travis Kelce, and why she did not perform at the Super Bowl.
Swift said Jay-Z and his team, who are in charge of organizing the Super Bowl halftime show, have always been kind to her. She also denied turning down any official offer, and said:
"Jay-Z has always been very good to me. "Our teams are really close. They sometimes will call and say 'how does she feel about the Super Bowl?' That's not an official offer or a conference room conversation. It's just 'how does she feel about it in general?'"
Swift added that she is "too locked in" to perform at the Super Bowl, especially as she is in love with NFL tight-end Travis Kelce, who plays the sport for a living. She continued:
"We're always able to tell him (Jay Z) the truth which is that I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field. The whole season, I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if he's out there, every single week, doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, high-intensity sport and I'm like: 'I wonder what my choreography should be?' This is nothing to do with Travis. He would love for me to do it. I am just too locked in."
Last month, Taylor Swift announced her engagement to Travis Kelce, days after announcing her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. However, she has yet to release her wedding date. Her latest album dropped on October 3 and is available on all streaming platforms.
