Taylor Swift has announced The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, a deluxe edition of her latest album, arriving this Friday (25th September) with four new songs. The announcement follows the original album's record-breaking success, which achieved the biggest first week for an album in history, prompting Swift to celebrate with her collaborators and create additional material born from gratitude.

The deluxe edition features the previously announced single "Patient Zero" alongside three additional tracks: "Cleveland!," "Pink Clouding," and "Babylon." The new songs were written during a trip to Sweden with producers Max Martin and Shellback, who collaborated on the original album. Pre-orders for the digital version are now open through Swift's website and all major digital streaming platforms, and she is expected to debut at least one new track at the MTV VMAs on Sunday, where she will receive the newly unveiled Artist Director Honour.
