The next Taylor Swift release could be a double banger if the reports are true. Fans are awaiting her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, which is due for release on October 3, 2025. But multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that she might actually drop a film tied to the album alongside it. However, there's no release date for it as of now.
It is being likened to the last concert film released by the artist called The Eras Tour, which became the highest-grossing concert film of all time, leaving behind Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (2011), Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008), One Direction: This Is Us (2013), and more. It made $267 million worldwide.
Additionally, Taylor Swift is speculated to partner with AMC Theatres for the project, though it hasn't been confirmed yet. She and her team did that for The Eras Tour film, so that's where the speculations are arising.
Taylor Swift's Life of a Showgirl is about her life as an entertainer

The singer-songwriter has described her upcoming album as something about her life as an entertainer. Though we will have to wait a few more days until we finally understand exactly what she means by that.
For now, we know that it will include 12 songs without any bonus tracks. She described this during a New Heights podcast as something that should fit like a perfect puzzle. She said,
"I wanted to do an album that was so focused on quality and on the theme and everything fitting together like a perfect puzzle that these 12 songs for my 12th album, I feel like we achieved that and I’m really happy about that."
Following this episode, New Heights itself reached new heights as this particular episode went on to become the most-watched podcast premiere in the world.
The 12 songs from Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl include
- The Fate of Ophelia
- Elizabeth Taylor
- Opalite
- Father Figure
- Eldest Daughter
- Ruin the Friendship
- Actually Romantic
- Wish List
- Wood
- Cancelled!
- The Life of a Showgirl
The final song in the list is said to feature Sabrina Carpenter and will be a duet.
What is The Life of a Showgirl about?

It is almost impossible to know what each song is about, but People Magazine did speculate about what those songs could be about.
The first song is likely to be about Hamlet's Ophelia. She had a mental breakdown, following which she died by drowning. Elizabeth Taylor is likely to be a nod to the iconic actress who was a part of HIV/AIDS activism, too.
Opalite, as some fans believe, could be about her partner, Travis Kelce, who currently plays for the Kansas City Chiefs in the National Football League. Opal happens to be the birthstone of Libra, which is the zodiac sign of Kelce.
