Actress Zoe Kravitz made headlines today with her glowing review of Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” While promoting her new film Caught Stealing, Kravitz shared her thoughts on Swift’s latest project, calling it “no skips”, a term meaning every song on the album is excellent from start to finish. The actress’s endorsement has created buzz throughout the entertainment industry, with fans and media outlets taking notice of her strong praise for the highly anticipated release.
Sneaking in the question during a conversation on Extra, someone asked if Kravitz had heard the new record. Her answer was immediate, even glowy: it was “fantastic, of course. No skips,” a remark that invited surprise from the interviewer.
Taylor’s twelfth studio album, set to drop October 3, 2025, is a carefully crafted reflection of her life behind the curtain of the Eras Tour. Conceived while touring Europe, produced with longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback, and kept tight at exactly twelve tracks, this record promises to be both vibrant and focused.
The album’s unveiling, during Taylor’s appearance on New Heights, the podcast hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce, was a masterclass in anticipation. Swift revealed the artwork, the release date, the collaborators, and a deliberate eschewing of deluxe or bonus tracks. She described it as “infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic,” channels of the inner life she lived offstage amid the tour’s frenzy.
Visually, the Showgirl era is unmissable. Taylor appears in a dazzling, more sensual aesthetic, half-submerged in water on the album cover, wearing sparkling, cabaret-worthy fashion that feels like a glamorous reinvention. Orange and mint green accents, showgirl imagery, and provocative styling mark a bold new identity in her visual storytelling.
To have Kravitz, Taylor’s longtime friend and collaborator, call every track essential “no skips” carries weight. It suggests that this album hits the level of consistency and intentionality Swift set out to achieve.
