Taylor Swiftfans are already working up their wildest dreams when it comes to her newly announced The Life of a Showgirl.
While her 12th studio album has certainly been on fans’ minds, along with Taylor’s Version of her debut, self-titled album and the vault tracks that would have been included on Taylor’s version of reputation, had she not bought back her masters, thus negating the need to complete its rerecording, Swifties also believe evidence points to an impending documentary surrounding the record-breaking Eras Tour.
Fans took note of the apparent connection between the new album’s name and Swift’s role on stage, which is reminiscent of the character she played while performing “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” off of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.

As one fan considered that the album may serve as an autobiographical reflection on the Eras Tour, others predicted that it may connect directly to the rumored documentary, instead.
“WAIT! And The Life of a Showgirl sounds like a great way to tie in an Eras Tour doc. THE VISION IS HERE,” one replied excitedly, while another wondered, “WHAT IF THE ERAS TOUR DOC IS CALLED THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL?!?!”
Others suggested it could potentially serve as a sister album to The Tortured Poets Department, much of which is believed to have been written during the Eras Tour, believing it “could be another story album” or even a “visual album,” rather than a documentary.
If one thing is for certain, it’s that Swifties will keep dreaming big. For now, all we know for sure is the title of the album—the cover, release date and track list are all to be revealed.
