Taylor Swift Showgirl Encore is live with four new tracks
Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore is live on major streaming platforms, adding “Patient Zero,” “Cleveland!,” “Pink Clouding,” and “Babylon.” Billboard, NME, and Pitchfork confirm the four-song drop; first-day chart tallies are still forming.
Taylor Swift’s expanded album The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore is available on major digital service providers as of Friday’s release window, Billboard, NME, and Pitchfork report. The Encore adds four new songs — “Patient Zero,” “Cleveland!,” “Pink Clouding,” and “Babylon” — written with Max Martin and Shellback after Swift traveled to Sweden to mark the original album’s record first week.
NME and Consequence describe the tracks as newly written rather than leftover Showgirl cuts. Pitchfork notes the Encore follows earlier deluxe variants and that a “Patient Zero” video teaser is slated for Sunday’s MTV VMAs.
Google Trends lyric spikes for the four titles were already active overnight. Early sales and stream tallies, including any same-day chart peaks, remain in flux; NewsHabit is not treating unofficial iTunes snapshots as settled Billboard chart outcomes.
