Taylor, 36, turned to her Instagram account to announce her brand-new four tracks for The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore.
On Wednesday, September 23rd, the Reputation crooner recalled the celebrations of her twelfth studio album success, The Life of a Showgirl, which she released after her dreamy engagement with Travis Kelce.
Taylor revealed that during her trip to Sweden, she was joined by her two collaborators, Max and Shellback, who worked together for the album, and they encouraged her to record four new songs.
Expressing her gratitude, the 14-time Grammy winning musician said, "About a year ago, you guys did a truly unfathomable thing. Something that completely blew my mind."
