The news was preceded, in typical TAS fashion, by a few big hints: First came a post from Taylor Nation, the official Instagram account of Swift’s management team, with a 12-image carousel of the singer in orange ensembles, to the sweet strains of 2020’s “August.” The caption? “Thinking about when she said ‘See you next era…’”

The announcement of Taylor Swift’s new album, Life of a Showgirl, has inspired big-name brands to go orange. After the color scheme for the album was teased to be bright orange and mint green, multiple big brands launched orange-themed promotional campaigns—and they didn’t hold back on the glitter.

Taylor, 35, joined her boyfriend at his $6 million Kansas home to record a special episode of his podcast, "New Heights."
