Maybe it's not such a 'Cruel Summer' after all, as Swifties are buzzing with excitement at the highly anticipated announcement of Taylor Swift's 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl.

Staying true to her previous reputation of teasing albums through subtle hints and puzzles for Swifties to figure out, she announced her latest album through a glittering orange and mint-green countdown that was featured on her website at 12:12 AM on 12 August.

The reveal on her official website coincided with her appearance on the New Heights podcast hosted by Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce. She teased the album during the episode by revealing a mint-green "TS" briefcase that contained the record—pulling it out and announcing the title, The Life of a Showgirl.

So there's only one question left to ask, "Are you ready for it?".
