Empire State Building Celebrates Taylor Swift’s New album
Along with the announcement of the upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift lit up New York’s iconic Empire State Building in the new album’s theme color orange! The special moment was shared by the official Instagram account of the Empire State Building, which showed the building lit up in orange lights. The caption of the post read – “On to the next era”, which is reminiscent of Swift’s record-breaking Eras tour.
The colour orange seems to be a major theme of the new album, as the clip from the New Heights podcast also showed books with orange covers behind Swift. These included works by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marc Chagall and Ruth Asawa, who are associated with modernism and neo-expressionism.
How did Taylor Swift Reveal the Album?
On the New Heights podcast, Swift presented a mint green briefcase with the initials “TS” written on it. When Jason Kelsey asked what was in it, Swift smiled and replied – “It’s my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl!” Travis Kelsey happily shouted – “TS 12!”
However, the album cover still remains mysterious. A blurry orange and green cover is visible on her website, increasing curiosity among fans.
What is the release date of “The Life of a Showgirl”?
The album’s release date has not been officially announced yet. But a hint has been given by the musician. According to Swift’s website, copies will be shipped before October 13. Does this date indicate anything special? Swift fans know that she often incorporates the number 13 in her work, which is a lucky number for her.
Which Special Message hidden in The Life of a Showgirl album?
Swift’s new album has several symbolic items visible in the background. The podcast clip showed a silver microphone, football, and a book by Mark Rothko, who is known for abstract art. Is this a sign that Swift is moving towards a new musical and artistic direction in this album?
Moreover, the album comes at a time when Swift recently acquired the masters of her first six albums (Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989 and Reputation) back from Shamrock Capital. Will “The Life of a Showgirl” give us a glimpse of her old music, or will it be a completely new style?
From the announcement of “The Life of a Showgirl” to bathing the Empire State Building in orange lights, everything has left fans in awe.
This album could be a biggest turning point in Taylor Swift music career. Will we surely get unforgettable memories with this entertainment.
