US pop superstar Taylor Swift's website announced the release of the new album early Tuesday, with vinyl records, cassettes and CDs of the new album shipping to customers in the United States before October 13.

"The Life of a Showgirl" follows last year's "The Tortured Poets Department," announced during the 2024 Grammys and released during her record-breaking Eras tour, which raked in over $2.2 billion across two years and five continents, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time.

The New Heights podcast later shared a video of Swift opening a box and taking out a blurred vinyl.

"This is my brand new album, 'The Life of a Showgirl,'" she said.

Swift has won 14 Grammys and four for Album of the Year awards.

Swift's "Tortured Poets Department" broke records with 2.61 million first-week US sales, topping charts in both streaming and vinyl.

The 35-year-old megastar announced her new album after reclaiming the masters of her first six records, following a dispute with her former label, following her $1 billion Eras tour, the most lucrative in history.
