Zoe Kravitz praises Taylor Swift life of a showgirl album ahead of October release

Zoë Kravitz has shared her enthusiastic reaction to Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, set for release on October 3.

Speaking with Extra on Sunday, August 17, the actress said she had already heard parts of the project and was impressed. “It’s fantastic, of course. No skips,” Kravitz, 36, said while promoting her new film Caught Stealing alongside Austin Butler. When the interviewer remarked that a “no skips” album is rare, Kravitz replied, “For her, it’s not.”

Her comments came just days after Swift, 35, unveiled the album artwork, limited-edition versions, and tracklist during an appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast. Kelce described the record as “all bangers,” while Swift explained she wrote the songs while touring globally on her 21-month Eras Tour. Fans had speculated about the project after Swift left several Easter eggs online, including a themed Spotify playlist and an orange color scheme across her socials.

Kravitz’s endorsement is one of the first public reactions from Swift’s circle of friends. It follows her recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, where she recalled Swift’s generosity during the California wildfires earlier this year. Kravitz shared that she and her mother, Lisa Bonet, stayed at Swift’s Los Angeles home during the emergency. The stay turned chaotic after Bonet lost her pet snake, Orpheus, inside the house, leading to a frantic but ultimately lighthearted search.

Kravitz and Swift’s friendship dates back nearly a decade, with the pair often spotted together in New York. In a 2024 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Kravitz praised Swift’s down-to-earth nature, describing how the superstar would relax with wine and burgers after massive stadium performances.
