Taylor Swift, with the help of her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, helped make her fans’ week as she announced her next album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”

Fans were already anticipating an announcement before a tease for the Kelce brothers’ podcast “New Heights.” On Monday, Swift had posted a social media slide show of 12 images with the caption “Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era...,” The Associated Press reported.

Then, a tease for the podcast showed an orange image showing a silhouette of a woman, many believing it was Swift.

There was also a countdown clock on her website that counted to 12:12 a.m. ET, The New York Times reported.

Finally, another tease for the Wednesday podcast release showed Swift pulling the album from a briefcase, the cover art blurred.

“The Life of a Showgirl” comes after last year’s “The Tortured Poets Department” and the two-year, record-breaking Eras tour. The series of global concerts, spanning five continents, generated $2.2 billion, the highest-grossing concert series in history, the AP reported.

No release date or track list was announced, The New York Times reported, but you can “pre pre-order” the album in vinyl, cassette and CD on Swift’s website.

The latest episode of “New Heights” drops on Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. ET, CNN reported.
