Taylor Swift announced her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," and a countdown on her website ending Wednesday at 7 p.m. EDT, coinciding with her appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast. Short clips from the podcast show Swift revealing a blurred album cover. The album's details remain scarce, but an orange color scheme and possible collaboration with Max Martin are hinted at. This follows a relatively quiet year for Swift after her highly successful Eras Tour.
