\n\tShortly after Taylor Swift<\/a> confirmed her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/a>, fans began to spot mysterious billboards in New York City and Nashville. The billboards directed listeners to a brand new Spotify playlist titled \u201cAnd, baby, that\u2019s show business for you.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tCurated by Swift herself, the playlist features 22 of Swift\u2019s songs from prior releases, opening with \u201c22\u201d and concluding with \u201cWonderland.\u201d Curiously, all the songs featured were all produced by Max Martin and Shellback, who worked on Red, 1989, and Reputation. Although Swift has not confirmed many details about The Life of a Showgirl, many Swifties are predicting that the production duo is back on board this time around. <\/p>\n

\n\tMartin and Shellback have been responsible some of Swift\u2019s biggest hits, including \u201cWe Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,\u201d \u201cBad Blood,\u201d and \u201cShake It Off.\u201d The producers notably helped Swift to transition from country to pop music on Red, her fourth album, which was released in 2012. More recently, Swift has been collaborating with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, including on last year\u2019s The Tortured Poets Department<\/a>. <\/p>\n
