"Taypocalypse is coming": Fans excited as Taylor Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl' set to drop in less than 24 hours

On Friday, October 3, 2025, Taylor Swift's 12th original studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, will officially be released on streaming platforms worldwide.

The countdown is down to hours, now, and Swifties are creating notable buzz across social media platforms.

The album follows Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, which grossed more than $2 billion. Hints about The Life of a Showgirl had been circulating for nearly a year. Swift, who is known for leaving "Easter eggs" in her performances, flashed 10 fingers three times on stage in New Orleans in October 2024.

Moreover, at the final Eras Tour show in December, instead of exiting through the usual platform, she walked toward a bright orange door, which is now revealed as the color of Showgirl. These gestures are now widely being speculated as easter eggs by Swifties.

At midnight Eastern Time, Swifties can finally hear all 12 tracks of the latest album. The record reunites Taylor Swift with collaborators Max Martin and Shellback. It also includes a feature from pop singer Sabrina Carpenter on the title track. Fans are anticipating as the drop is set in a few hours. One such netizen declared:

Internet reacts as Taylor Swift's upcoming album is set to drop in a few hours

Pop Base took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to post that,

"‘The Life of a Showgirl’ by Taylor Swift is officially 24 hours away."

Swifties were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the post to hype the upcoming album. Below are some of their reactions:

"Hold up… 24 hours away? So basically, Taylor Swift is about to drop The Life of a Showgirl and my entire weekend just got hijacked. ⏳✨ I don’t know whether to prepare snacks, tissues, or a personal fan club because let’s be real, Swifties do not play when it comes to 24-hour countdowns. Also, can we talk about the emotional stamina this requires? One minute you’re vibing, the next you’re mentally mapping out which lyrics will hit you hardest, and by the time it drops, you’re emotionally bankrupt but also somehow alive and thriving. This is not just an album release, it’s a full-blown experience. 🎤💖", penned a fan.

"OMG, the wait is torture! Can't wait for "The Fate of Ophelia" and that Sabrina collab, 24 hours until we all live our showgirl dreams. Who's streaming first? 💃✨ #TheLifeOfAShowgirl", hyped another.

"I’m curious how you think the fans are gonna react to ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ after waiting all this time. Do you think it’ll live up to the hype? And what’s your favorite teaser or detail weve seen so far that got you most excited?", questioned a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Compared to ttpd and midnights its not making as much noise", noted a netizen.

"I thought it was already out with all the hype around it 😭😭 Taylor the queen you are", commented another.

"A NEW TAYLOR ALBUM TO OBSESS OVER OMG CAN’T WAIT", expressed a third.
