The official release of Life of a Showgirl, a movie-theatre experience tied to her upcoming album of the same name, is coming to Australia from 3–5 October 2025.

What Is The Life Of A Showgirl Movie?
Think of it as Taylor’s version of a “secret session”—but everyone is invited, and there’s popcorn. The popstar announced the borderline religious experience on Instagram, saying
“You’ll get to see the exclusive world premiere of the music video for my new single “The Fate of Ophelia”, along with never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage of how we made it, cut-by-cut explanations of what inspired this music, and the brand new lyric videos from my new album The Life of a Showgirl ❤️��”
YES.
Here’s What’s In Store
- The world premiere of the music video for The Fate of Ophelia.
- Behind-the-scenes footage: how the video was made, what inspired the songs, cut by cut.
- Lyric videos for tracks from The Life of a Showgirl and Taylor’s own commentary on the songs.
- Running time? 89 minutes. Enough time for all the sparkle, surprises, and swoons.
When And Where Can You See Life Of A Showgirl In Australia?
3 to 5 October 2025—the same weekend the album drops globally. Australia is confirmed among the “over 100 countries” hosting the event.
Local cinemas will list showtimes soon, to don't blow up their phones or socials, just hang tight. Be sure to check your nearest cinema’s schedule—times may vary, and demand will be extremely high.
Why This Is More Than Just A Movie
If you thought album releases were just dropping on streaming platforms these days, Taylor’s upping the ante. This cinematic event blends multimedia: music video, live commentary, lyric videos, plus the buzz of watching with other fans in a dark theatre.
Also, this continues Taylor’s trend of giving fans—not just music, but the story behind it, the visual flair, the theatrical vibe. Thought The Eras Tour movie set a high bar? This looks like it’s following in those sequined footsteps.
What We Know About The Life of a Showgirl Album
Release date in Australia will be October 4 2025.
There are 12 songs on the upcoming album with titles including The Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, Cancelled!, Actually Romantic, Honey, and The Life of a Showgirl (featuring Sabrina Carpenter).
What to Know Before You Buy Your Ticket
Ticketing prices aren’t confirmed for Australia as of yet; overseas events generally price similarly to standard tickets but check local cinemas.
Arrive on time! Screenings start at showtime without previews/trailers. Don’t be the one running in halfway through.
Dress and vibe? There’s no official dress code, but come on… we all know that half the fun is in the dress-ups. Dancing and singing are optional (good luck stopping us, tbh).
Check local listings. Not all cinemas may take part; times will vary by location. Stay tuned to your local theaters, Swift’s official site, or ticket vendors.
If you love Taylor Swift, adore surprises, are into glitzy visuals, or just want to hang out with fellow Swifties and experience new music in a shared way, this is for you. It’s not just an album drop; it’s an experience. If you're more of a “listen at home in pyjamas” type, you’ll still eventually get the music (and maybe some of the visuals online), but the buzz of watching it in a theatre is pretty unmatched. See you there.
Keep an eye out for showtimes here.
