All the ways Taylor Swift announced albums as The Life of a Showgirl is released

Taylor Swift was still a relatively normal 16-year-old in high school in Nashville when her debut album was released in the October of 2006. Although she'd had huge dreams since she was a child writing songs with a guitar in her bedroom, even Taylor herself probably couldn't have imagined the stratospheric heights her career would reach in the 20 years after debut was released into the world. She would go on to release 11 more hugely-popular albums spanning the genres of pop, folk and RnB, win 14 Grammy Awards, become a cultural icon of the 21st century and complete the highest-grossing music tour of all time - The Eras Tour. And now nearly two decades on from her first record, much to her fans' delight we now have a new album, her 12th, - The Life of a Showgirl out in the world to enjoy. She had a change of tack in announcing the album back in August, sharing the exciting news on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast.
