The 3rd of October won’t come soon enough for Swifties around the globe. Taylor Swift announced that her new album Life of a Showgirl will be dropping in just a few weeks, and the internet has already gone wild with anticipation.
The album cover, revealed on her Instagram Wednesday night, features Taylor in a showgirl-inspired, diamond-encrusted bodysuit, suspended in a bathtub—her signature wind-down during tour life. “My day ends in a bathtub, not unusually in a bedazzled dress,” Taylor told Rolling Stone.
She explained that she wanted to capture the “offstage” moments that fans never see, with much of the album having been written during her summer 2024 European Eras Tour. Between the soft green cast of the water and the glittering orange font, fans have already crowned mint green and burnt orange as the official colors of the Life of a Showgirl era. Expect this duo to pop up in wardrobes, makeup, and—of course—nail salons.
Taylor described the album as packed with “Glitter Gel-Pen Songs,” instantly transporting fans back to the sparkly stationery days of their youth. With only 12 tracks for her twelfth album, she’s promised no secret tracks or bonus surprises—just a perfect, upbeat, and heartfelt record that she says feels whole exactly as it is.
Shaping Beauty Trends: The Orange Takeover
And speaking of beauty moments, orange nails are about to be everywhere. One standout shade already turning heads and dominating TikTok is O.P.I Dreamsicle, a shimmery orange sheer with a sweet, dreamy vibe. Available in a long-lasting Infinite Shine formula, it locks in like gel but removes like regular lacquer. When used with the full three-step system, you can expect up to 11 days of wear. The best part? That soft, light-catching shimmer makes it the perfect nod to Taylor’s bedazzled showgirl aesthetic.
From spiced pumpkin hues for a cozy vibe to creamy sherbet tones for playful minimalism, orange will dominate fall 2025 manicures. Metallic copper shades will bring stage-light glamour, while bold neon orange offers a retro pop twist. One emerging micro-trend? The “Mint + Orange French” manicure—soft green tips on an orange base (or vice versa) for a playful nod to the album’s color palette. Expect to see matte finishes, chrome accents, and glitter gradients all season long. Whether you’re holding your coffee, your friendship bracelets, or your vinyl copy of Life of a Showgirl, your nails will say you’re ready for the era before the first note even plays.
