Taylor Swift has announced her 12th studio album — “The Life of a Showgirl” — and the latest “Easter egg” might just reveal who produced the highly anticipated album.
The pop star’s newest Spotify playlist “And, baby, that’s show business for you,” has a collection of 22 songs from “Red,” “Reputation,” “1989” and “Red (Taylor’s Version)” — and eagle-eyed fans have noticed the songs are produced by the same 2 people … Max Martin and Shellback.
You can put 2 and 2 together — Swifties are convinced the duo produced the entirety of ‘TLOAS’. The theory has not been confirmed … but as fans know — there are no coincidences in Tay’s world.

Taylor has not been pictured with Max or Shellback (born Karl Johan Schuster) over the last year, so if they did collaborate … it’s been totally under the radar.
She also hasn’t been seen entering or exiting a recording studio since she was spotted heading out of NYC’s Electric Lady Studios in December 2023 — but that was before “The Tortured Poets Department” came out.

As you know, the “Fortnight” singer announced TS12 just after midnight Eastern time on Tuesday in a teaser for Travis and Jason Kelce‘s “New Heights” podcast.

She didn’t reveal when the orange-themed album will drop and has yet to release the cover art … but perhaps fans will get more details once the episode is up Wednesday.
Following the exciting announcement, Swifties have been uncovering TS12 clues that were in plain sight — such as the orange door that moved down the screen at her “Eras” tour … and the fact that she included a photo of herself sporting her orange bodysuit in her “Eras” tour book after writing she’d see fans in the next era.

Hang tight … because we have a feeling the Easter eggs will keep rolling in.
