Swifties have been sent into an absolute spiral this week on account of all the latest Taylor Swift updates.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old ‘Cruel Summer’\u00a0singer<\/a>\u00a0has\u00a0‘broken the internet<\/a>‘ after it was revealed by her boyfriend,\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a>, that she would be appearing on his\u00a0New Heights<\/em>\u00a0podcast in today’s episode (14 August).<\/p>\n

She’s also sparked a number of\u00a0fan theories<\/a>\u00a0when it comes to her upcoming album – the cover of which she debuted for the very first time in\u00a0today’s podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n

And, while many\u00a0Taylor<\/a>\u00a0fans are absolutely obsessed with the long-anticipated reveal, a bunch of critics have since rushed to\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0to call her out for it.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift has finally revealed the cover art for her upcoming album titled The Life of a Showgirl (New Heights)<\/cite><\/div>\n

Now, the\u00a0Grammy<\/a>\u00a0award-winning artist’s upcoming 12th studio album is titled\u00a0The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>, and it has the cover art to match the whole ‘showgirl’ theme.<\/p>\n

The album follows the mint and orange colour theme with the title appearing in an orange, glittery text framing. Taylor can be seen partially submerged in water donning a diamont\u00e9 brassiere with embellished detailing going down her torso.<\/p>\n

The Life of a Showgirl\u00a0<\/em>will tell the story of ‘everything that was going on behind the curtain’ during her Eras tour, Taylor explained to fans.<\/p>\n

The album features a total of 12 tracks: ‘The Fate of Ophelia’, ‘Elizabeth Taylor’, ‘Opalite’, ‘Father Figure’, ‘Eldest Daughter’, ‘Ruin the Friendship’, ‘Actually Romantic’, ‘Wi$h Li$t’, ‘Wood’, ‘Cancelled!’, ‘Honey’ and the titular\u00a0‘<\/em>The Life of a Showgirl’, featuring\u00a0Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Explaining why she posed in a bathtub for the shoot, the ‘Bad Blood’ hit-maker shared: “My day ends with me in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to glamorise all the different aspects of how that tour felt.”<\/p>\n

While the majority of fans loved the concept, some critics hit out over Taylor’s outfit choices (Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott)<\/cite><\/div>\n

Despite the avalanche of praise and hype online, a few internet users pointed out their qualms with the cover art.<\/p>\n

One critic penned: “I thought this was a crime scene photo.”<\/p>\n

“Somebody please explain this idea of photography,” questioned a second, while a third piped up: “Looks like a poster for Showtime’s attempt at adult TV.”<\/p>\n

A fourth slammed: “Put some freaking clothes on!”<\/p>\n

\n

\"The\"The<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The album features 12 tracks and is set to drop 3 October (Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott)<\/cite><\/div>\n

“Does singing have to include nudity?” chirped another. “Asking for a friend.”<\/p>\n

And a final critic bizarrely declared: “What happens in her bedroom is no longer a secret.”<\/p>\n

Like it or lump it, the album is quite literally called ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ so it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise that Taylor is, in fact, dressed up in typical showgirl attire?<\/p>\n

The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>\u00a0will be released on 3 October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
