Taylor Swift is reportedly preparing to return to the big screen with the release of her upcoming 12th studio album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’. Multiple sources confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, September 18, that a secret project tied to the record will be screened in theaters on the same weekend the album drops.
While details remain tightly under wraps, the project is expected to align with Swift’s ongoing tradition of pairing her music with cinematic experiences. It is not yet clear who is directing the feature. According to People, the 35-year-old artist has previously helmed her own work, including ‘Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions’ in 2020.
New Title: Swift’s Record-Breaking Success in Film
She also collaborated with filmmaker Sam Wrench for 2023’s ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’ concert film, which went on to break records worldwide. That film became the highest-grossing concert film opening in history, earning over $200 million globally within three weeks. It also shattered streaming records when it debuted on Disney+, quickly becoming the platform’s most-watched music film of all time.
Swift announced ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ in August, revealing the album’s track list shortly after. The 12-track record features songs including ‘Elizabeth Taylor’, ‘Ruin the Friendship’, ‘Actually Romantic’, and a title track featuring Sabrina Carpenter. ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ will be released on October 3.
