Taylor Swift To Takeover SiriusXM To Celebrate 'The Life Of A Showgirl'

Taylor Swift is pulling out all the stops for the release of her upcoming album, "The Life of a Showgirl." The 35-year-old pop superstar just announced the launch of her very own SiriusXM station, "Taylor’s Channel 13," along with a surprise AMC Theatres film event that will give fans an exclusive first look at her new era. The double rollout is timed perfectly with the arrival of her 12th studio album, set to drop on October 3, 2025, and promises to keep Swifties tuned in on the radio, in theaters, and everywhere in between.

SiriusXM confirmed the news Friday, announcing the station will celebrate all things Taylor. Fans can expect to hear the biggest hits of her career, rare deep cuts, "From the Vault" favorites, and even live performances spanning her decades-long reign at the top of pop culture.

“Taylor Swift continues to not only dominate the music world, but also every aspect of pop culture,” SiriusXM’s president Scott Greenstein said. “Her chart-topping, award-winning songs resonate with every generation of listeners, and we are thrilled to deliver our subscribers a place to celebrate their fandom and the new album with the launch of Taylor’s Channel 13.”

The station will be available on SiriusXM’s satellite channel 13 and streaming through the SiriusXM app.

As if a new album and radio takeover weren’t enough, Swift shocked fans by announcing a secret film tied to the project. AMC Theatres will release The Life of a Showgirl movie from October 3 to October 5, in what she’s calling The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.

Swift teased the reveal on Instagram, writing:

“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.'”

The film follows in the footsteps of Swift’s record-breaking "Eras Tour" concert movie, once again partnering with AMC to give fans an immersive experience.

Both projects are carefully timed with the release of "The Life of a Showgirl," which drops October 3, 2025.

The album will feature 12 tracks, including a much-hyped collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track. Swift revealed the album’s name in the early hours of August 12 at 12:12 a.m., before joining fiancé Travis Kelce and his brother Jason on their "New Heights" podcast to spill more details.

On Saturday, Swift gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of "The Life of a Showgirl "in a promo clip posted by Taylor Nation on Instagram. In the video, the pop icon raved about her photoshoot with legendary photographers Mert Alaş and Marcus Piggott, calling it “so extraordinary” and saying she was “so happy with it.”

Swift also revealed some luxe details about the upcoming physical releases:

• CDs will come with exclusive photo cards.
• Vinyls will each feature a one-of-a-kind poem and additional images that weren’t originally planned.
• A number of special editions have already sold out on her official site.

“We chose this really high-gloss finish, which I’ve never done before, and I think it looks so cool,” she explained. “We wanted this album to feel really luxurious and kind of as a nod to the luxury that a showgirl puts on when she’s on stage.”

The singer closed out the clip with a message straight to her fans, “It’s all just something I’m really proud of. It took a lot of time to put together, a lot of concentration, a lot of organization, but hopefully it pays off. I hope the fans are happy.”

Coming off the massive success of "The Tortured Poets Department" in 2024, Swift is entering a new, more theatrical chapter. With her SiriusXM channel, a surprise AMC movie, and a highly anticipated album, fans will be able to experience the "Showgirl" era from every angle, on the radio, in theaters, and soon enough, on stage.

As Greenstein put it, Taylor’s Channel 13 will be “a unique destination for fans to connect in a way like never before.” Add in the "Showgirl film", and Swift is once again proving she knows how to turn an album release into a full-blown cultural event.
