Ceci est la traduction adaptée d’un article de Tomás Mier, originalement publié par Rolling Stone le 13 août 2025. Nous republions l'article originalement intitulé Taylor Swift Made ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ While on the Eras Tour: ‘I Was Physically Exhausted’ avec la permission de son auteur. Notez que certaines subtilités et nuances peuvent différer de la version originale.

Taylor Swift a travaillé sur The Life of a Showgirl tout en poursuivant sa vaste tournée Eras Tour en Europe. Dans une entrevue diffusée mercredi au balado New Heights, la chanteuse a révélé qu’elle se rendait en Suède pendant ses jours de congé pour enregistrer son douzième album studio.


«Je donnais trois concerts d’affilée, puis j’avais trois jours de congé, a-t-elle expliqué alors que les frères Kelce réagissaient avec étonnement. Je prenais l’avion pour la Suède, je revenais sur la tournée et je travaillais là-dessus. J’étais physiquement épuisée à ce moment-là, mais tellement stimulée mentalement et emballée de créer.»

La Eras Tour s’est terminée en décembre 2024, après 149 concerts à travers le monde. L’été 2024 a mené Swift en Europe, notamment pour huit représentations à Londres en juin et en août.

«Cet album raconte ce qui se passait en coulisses dans ma vie intérieure pendant cette tournée, qui était si exubérante, électrique et vibrante, a-t-elle poursuivi. Il provient de l’endroit le plus joyeux, sauvage et intense où je me sois trouvée dans ma vie. Cette effervescence transparaît sur le disque.»

Plus tôt dans l’épisode, Swift a dévoilé la liste des pièces sur ses réseaux sociaux, accompagnée du message «And, baby, that’s show business for you», confirmant une sortie prévue le 3 octobre. Elle a également présenté la pochette de l’album, réalisée par Mert Alas et Marcus Piggot, où on la voit flotter sous l’eau avec le titre en lettres orange.

The Life of a Showgirl compte 12 chansons, dont la pièce-titre en collaboration avec Sabrina Carpenter. Co-réalisé par Swift avec Shellback et Max Martin, l’album comprend aussi Eldest Daughter, Actually Romantic, Wi$h Li$t et la pièce d’ouverture The Fate of Ophelia. Il s’agit du premier album de la chanteuse depuis The Tortured Poets Department en 2024.

Taylor Swift Nabs Yet Another Number One Song With ‘Patient Zero’

If you want to party with somebody who might know what it’s like to have 16 Number One songs, you can now hit up Taylor Swift. The superstar just topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart once again with her new single “Patient Zero.” It marks Swift’s fourth chart-topper of the year after “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Opalite,” and “I Knew It, I Knew You” also notched the top slot.

With the feat, Swift has knocked Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” from the top slot, halting its historic reign with a whopping 24 weeks atop the chart since February. She also joins Rihanna as the only female solo artists to earn four Number One hits on the chart in the same year. The song marks the third single from The Life of a Showgirl to go Number One as well. Earlier this year, “The Fate of Ophelia” became Swift’s longest-running chart-topper with nine weeks.

Brian May Says Queen Won’t Tour Again: ‘50 Years Is Enough’

Queen + Adam Lambert haven’t performed since their Rhapsody world tour wrapped up at Japan’s Tokyo Dome on Feb. 14, 2024. And in a new interview with The Times, guitarist Brian May revealed the band won’t ever return to the road.

“I made a decision 18 months ago that I didn’t want to tour again,” May said. “A close family friend died when we were in the States, so I said to my tour manager, ‘I’ll just nip home for a few days and come back.’ She looked me in the eyes and said, ‘You know you can’t do that.’ I love to play, I love to travel, but the trade-off is sacrificing your freedom. I have a wife [the actress Anita Dobson], grandchildren and a lot of astrophysics I want to do, so I’m thinking maybe 50 years is enough.”
