Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jersey and Amanda gem.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Nation Emagileestie from The Daily Oz is here. Taylor Swift
has a new album.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Breaking news. Taylor Swift has broken the internet.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Well, she has a new album. Every ten minutes at phil.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, could the girl have a lie down and just
take some manual leave. She's had I don't know, maybe
three months off since she finished touring and doing everything
for her last album. But yesterday a countdown appeared on
her website and all we got was this timer and
a kind of glittering orange screen and the countdown finished
at two twelve pm for us here Australian Eastern Standard time,

(00:37):
but for her it was twelve twelve am Eastern Time
on the twelfth of August. And all of that matters
because this is her twelfth album, Dureh. And there's a
lot of other theories about the significance of the number twelve,
but we won't get into that. But in the lead up,
we got a few easter eggs. There was an Instagram
carousel on one.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Of her official social media channels.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
And then we found out she was going to be
appearing on Travis Kelsey's podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
He is, of course her partner, and he does a
podcast with his brother, and he does.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
A podcast with his brother. They're both NFL stars. And
then at twelve twelve am or two twelve pm for us,
the website briefly crashed, then it reappeared, and then this
little clip appeared on the podcast Socials and on Taylor's Socials,
in which she opens a briefcase. She takes out a
blurred vinyl and here's what the moment sounded like.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
So I wanted to show you something.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, what do we got? We got a briefcase?

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yep, Mick Greeners on it.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
This is my brand new album, The Life of a
Show Girl.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah. So do you think Travis would be getting you know,
because he's misso so he's kind of used to it
all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
He's the best hype man there's been.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
I mean, but like, we be going, was there anything
else in there for me?

Speaker 1 (01:54):
What's it for me?

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Well? I think he'll be excited because this could be
the first album we get that has any kind of
love song or Travis themed songs because the last album
was all about Matti Hilly, the guy from the nineteen
seventy five dirt Bag. We don't need to go into him,
forget about him. Travis Kelcey has been this amazing force
in her life for good. So hopefully the album's gonna
be like happy and upbeat, and I think from the

(02:16):
vibes we've got so far, it seems like it's gonna
be very poppy, very glitter pop. And we know this
because after that announcement, then Taylor Swift dropped this playlist
on Spotify. It's called like That's show Business Baby, No
sorry I misquoted it. It's called and Baby, That's show
Business for You and her songs.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Spot a playlist of her song.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
All playlist of her songs twenty two tracks, all previously
released songs. But what they have in common is that
she worked with these producers, Max Martin and Shellback on
these songs. Max Martin has like written every major pop
song in history since like the nineties, and it includes
like shake It Off, I Knew You Were Trouble, We're
Never ever getting back Together, Bad Blood, Blank Space, like

(02:57):
some of her biggest poppiest hit. So this is definitely
going to be an upbeat album. It's not going to
be sad, it's not going to be like fulllorn and
the sort of she has lots of different areas.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
As we know, she might be able to communicate with Travis,
you know, just basic chores around the house.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Maybe to kill you, to buy me a pig bus
I love that song, pig basket or not. I think
a toilet seat down.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
It'll be toilet seat down in a way you've never
heard before. I think it's gonna be very sparks coming out.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Well, we don't know, that's the annoying thing. There's a
pre purchase.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
You can pre order the album on the website, because
of course every every Tailor Swift announcement is accompanied by monetization.
The website states that the album will be shipped before
the thirteenth of October, with the caveat in capital letters.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
This is not the release date official release date to be.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Announced, so we don't know, but obviously, like surely early
September to early October feels like.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
It's pretty quick for a new album, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, Well, it was a year ago, I think a
month or two ago that she released Tortured.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Poetic and Two of the World.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Incidentally, yes, she's very, very busy, and also this year
like she mate broke all these records.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
She brought all of her music back.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
She's like the most successful of all time, broke every
record of everything, And I'm thinking, wouldn't you want to
just that success for it?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Five minutes Taylor. But while the songs come to her,
maybe this is when she needs to sing them and
record them. She's prolific, right, She's her own mus she
sure is.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
So. I mean, I'm excited watch this space. I'm sure
whether you like it or not, you will be hearing
more about it.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Excellent, m thank you, thank you.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
That's em.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
The less people of Daily Oz.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
