Taylor Swift was still bejeweled as she released the sparkling cover of her new album, "The Life of A Showgirl."
Swift, 35, revealed the artwork for her 12th catalog, which included showstopping images of the singer dressed to the nines like one of Las Vegas' finest entertainers.
The global popstar appears to be near drowning on the cover, and she included a 12-set tracklist with the new drop.
