Taylor Swift had Us mesmerized with her sexiest album cover yet.
Swift, 25, announced her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, while chatting with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce, on a Wednesday, August 13, episode of their “New Heights” podcast. In the episode, she opened up about her album artwork, which featured her lying in a bath wearing bedazzled lingerie.
“For the photos, I love the photography so much,” Swift said. “The photos are done by [Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot] who are two of my favorite photographers,” she gushed, noting that she previously worked with the duo for her Reputation photo shoot in 2017. “I called them up for this one and I’m so happy with how the photos came out.”
She continued, “This represents the end of my night. When I’m on tour, I have the same day every single day. My day ends with me in a bathtub. Not usually in a bedazzled dress, but we tried to keep it decent.”

Swift also shared that she wanted to “glamorize” the “different aspects” of how the Eras Tour felt to her. “That’s how it felt to be at the end of the night when all of this had gone down. You won’t be able to get to bed till 4 in the morning after this. But you did it tonight.”
Elsewhere in her album artwork, Swift posed in the barely-there look, which covered her chest with crystals. The design cascaded into a cutout skirt and was complete with more gems layered on her arms with a matching headpiece. She made the look even more seductive with smoky eyeshadow and of course, her signature bright red lip.
Swift also rocked a feathered ensemble while sipping on a martini, as well as a wine-red bedazzled corset.
The Life of a Showgirl has 12 tracks, with Sabrina Carpenter featured on one the title song. Swift shared that the album will be released on October 3.
