Taylor Swift announces The Official Release Party of a Showgirl global cinema launch party
Taylor Swift is treating her fans to a behind-the-scenes look at her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, by having a global cinema launch party on October 3 - the same date the album is released.
Taylor Swift's "dazzling" story behind her 12th album The Life of a Showgirl hits the big screen in October.
As part of The Official Release Party of a Showgirl - which will play in cinemas from October 3 - fans of the 35-year-old megastar are invited to an "exclusive world premiere" of The Fate of Orphelia music video.
Swifties, the nickname given to Taylor's supporters, will also be treated to a "behind-the-scenes" look at how the album - which is also released on October 3 - was made.
Captioning a promotional poster of The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, the Shake it Off hitmaker announced on Instagram on September 19: "I hereby invite you to a *dazzling* soirée, The Official Release Party of a Showgirl: Oct 3 - Oct 5 only in cinemas!
"You’ll get to see the exclusive world premiere of the music video for my new single The Fate of Ophelia, along with never before seen behind-the-scenes footage of how we made it, cut by cut explanations of what inspired this music, and the brand new lyric videos from my new album The Life of a Showgirl.
"Looks like it’s time to brush off that Eras Tour outfit or orange cardigan … Tickets are on sale now. Dancing is optional but very much encouraged.
"Showtimes may vary, so check your local listings. (sic)"
Tickets are limited and available at releasepartyofashowgirl.com.
In a separate video, Taylor discussed The Life of a Showgirl.
The Cruel Summer singer - who recently got engaged to her long-time partner, 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end player Travis Kelce - said: "The CDs all have photocards in them, the vinyls have a poem inside, a unique poem, more images than we ever planned.
"We wanted this album to feel luxurious as a nod to the luxury that a showgirl puts on when she is on stage."
Meanwhile, Taylor has also recently announced she is launching her own SiriusXM station to promote The Life of a Showgirl - which is set to broadcast across North America from September 20 to October 19.
Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's president and chief content officer, confirmed the news and said: "Taylor Swift continues to not only dominate the music world, but also every aspect of pop culture.
