The "Showgirl" album broke several records when it was released in October 2025. It became the first album in history in which each of its 12 songs simultaneously entered the Billboard top 12. Its first week set a sales record for the modern music era, based on album sales and streams.

Swift said she wrote the new tracks when she traveled to Sweden to celebrate the success of "Showgirl" with producers Max Martin and Shellback.
