Swifties, grab your glitter boots and your orange cardigan—this Friday at 7pm local time, it’s officially showgirl o’clock. Taylor Swift’s twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, drops like confetti on October 3rd, and fans everywhere are throwing listening parties that would make Gatsby jealous. One of the most anticipated? Our Life of a Showgirl Listening Party, a sparkly soirée where you can hear the album front-to-back and bask in the glow of Taylor’s latest era.
So, what’s the vibe of this new album? Think backstage glamour meets emotional honesty. Taylor described it as “infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic”—a pop-forward pivot from the raw poetry of The Tortured Poets Department. She recorded it during the European leg of the Eras Tour, flying to Sweden to reunite with longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback. The result? A 12-track glitter bomb of storytelling, melody, and pure Swiftian magic.
Here’s the tracklist, in all its dramatic, cheeky glory:
Yes, you read that right—Sabrina Carpenter is featured on the title track, and if you’re not already screaming into your sequined pillow, now’s the time.
The Life of a Showgirl Listening Party off at 7pm local time, Dress code? Glitter, fringe, boots—basically anything that says “I’m here to sparkle and cry about track six.”
See you Friday at 7pm. Dancing is optional—but very much encouraged.
