NEW YORK, Aug 12 — Music superstar Taylor Swift today announced her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Swift, who has won 14 Grammys including an unprecedented four trophies for album of the year, announced the album in a podcast episode with her boyfriend Travis Kelce.

“This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl,” Swift said while holding a blurred-out version of the album cover, in a clip of the New Heights podcast on Instagram.

The vinyl version of the album is available for pre-order on Swift’s website at US$30 (RM126.99). The cassette version costs US$20, and a CD with a poster of Swift is available for US$13.

The megastar, whose record-breaking “Eras” tour was the first to surpass US$1 billion in revenue, announced the album after she purchased the master recordings of her first six albums in May, giving her control of all of her music after a dispute with her former record label. — Reuters
