Taylor Swift is currently gearing up for the launch of her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” The singer announced her upcoming record while on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason’s “New Heights” podcast, making Swifties excited. Recently, Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop exclusively reported that Swift has been providing her inner circle, including Selena Gomez, with previews of “The Life of a Showgirl.” However, one person is reportedly missing from these private preview sessions, and it is her once-close friend, Blake Lively.

Taylor Swift has reportedly been leaning on one of her BFFs, Selena Gomez, before the release of her highly anticipated album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” The songwriter has been conducting private listening parties for her new album, and only her trusted close friends have the invites. Besides the “Emilia Perez” star, her inner circle also includes actor Zoë Kravitz.
According to Rob Shuter’s report on Substack, “Selena Gomez has heard it. Zoë Kravitz too.” Previously, the “Caught Stealing” actor gushed about the upcoming record while appearing with Austin Butler for an “Extra” interview, saying, “I’ve heard bits of it. It’s fantastic… No skips.” However, Blake Lively seems not to have listened to the tracks from Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl.”
Shuter’s source claimed, “It’s raised eyebrows,” and added that the “Gossip Girl” alum had always been part of the “inner circle.” However, this time, Gomez and Kravitz are in the “front row, while Blake’s on the sidelines.” The individual further noted, “It feels like a shift.”
While talking about these alleged album preview parties by Swift, the insider also shared, “Taylor is testing the waters with the people she trusts most.” Moreover, the source believed, “If you’re in that room, you’re in her heart. Right now, that doesn’t include Blake.”
Swift’s upcoming 12-track album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” is produced by Max Martin and Shellback and features Sabrina Carpenter on the title track. The record will be released on October 3.
