Taylor Swift reveals album cover for 'The Life of a Showgirl'

Carpenter shared her excitement, writing on her Instagram Stories, "I know someone who's freaking out and it's me." She also posted a photo of herself on stage with Swift in her orange dress during one of their performances together on The Eras Tour, for which she was an opening act. 

"This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant, and it just comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in, in my life," she expressed. "And so, that effervescence has come through on this record." 

The singer/songwriter continues to note that there will not be any other songs coming, "This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time. And I also wanted it to be just every single song is on this album for hundreds of reasons, you know? You couldn't take one out and it be the same album. You couldn't add one, it's just right, and that focus and that kind of discipline with creating an album and keeping the bar really high is something I've been wanting to do for a very long time. I tend to love to write lots and lots of music, so it's a temptation to release lots of music."

The Life of a Showgirl will be released on October 3. Let the countdown begin!
