When the interviewer asked Qualley if she knew anything about the upcoming project, the actress said:

"I don't know anything, but we'll all be excited to listen to the music."

For the unversed, Margaret was asked the question because of her husband, Jack Antonoff's, long-standing professional relationship with Swift. Jack has produced several of Taylor's singles and albums since 2013. However, he doesn't seem to be involved in The Life of the Showgirl.

A tweet capturing the exchange between Margaret Qualley and the reporter was shared on X by @BuzzingPop, and it has since drawn attention from netizens, with one user commenting:

After revealing the cover art of The Life of a Showgirl, where Swift was lying in water wearing a glamorous costume, Taylor explained its symbolism, saying:

"This represents the end of my night. So when I’m on tour, I have the same day every single day...And my day ends with me in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress."

Swift continues to say that it represented her desire to "glamorize" the different aspects of her tour and how they felt.

"The reason I wanted to have sort of like an offstage moment as the main album cover is because this album isn’t really about what happened to me on stage. It’s about what I was going through offstage. So I didn’t want to have like the lights are bright, I’m on the stage is the main album cover. It’s just this. This, to me, tells more of what the actual content, lyrically, of the album are."
