Is the year of the showgirl loading? Look, it may be too soon to tell, but global phenomena like Colombian queen Karol G and American pop icon Taylor Swift’s new album both indicate that 2025 is the year for bedazzled pieces and shimmery outfits.

The showgirl buzz started when Karol G revealed her album’s teaser. In the teaser, Karol wore an orange showgirl outfit with a stunning headpiece and bongos included. She later revealed the cover for her recent album Tropicoqueta, which featured the Colombiana in a two-piece outfit with an orange background. The showgirl-esque nature of the album reminded social media users about vedettes like Mexican icon Rossy Mendoza, and Yolanda “Tongolele” Montes – is she planning to give an ode during the album’s tour? We’ll have to wait and see for tour date announcements!

But guess what? Turns out another pop star is going a similar route for their upcoming album’s rollout.

Cue in: Swift. This, by no means, is about comparison. It’s about enjoying what seems to be an upcoming resurgence of the showgirl. Though we haven’t heard Swift’s album yet, we know that her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, is due on October 3. The star also revealed her album cover art, which features Swift in a showgirl outfit designed by Bob Mackie.

Let’s be real: Swift has an undeniable influence on pop culture. With this in mind, we can envision people asking for orange nails this fall, and of course, styling their fall attire with bedazzled showgirl touches.  Who’s ready for glittery two-pieces and over-the-top getups? We sure are. We are already envisioning Halloween showgirl costumes ranging from burlesque-inspired outfits to including feathered headpieces. 

Are you embracing a showgirl fall season?
