Summary
- Starbucks transforms Nashville location for Taylor Swift's album release

In the days leading up to the release of Taylor Swift's highly anticipated 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," on October 3rd, 2025, Starbucks has gone all-out to celebrate the occasion. While customers worldwide will be able to enjoy the full album and "Starbucks Lovers" playlists at their local Starbucks locations, one Nashville cafe has taken the celebration to the next level.
The Starbucks on 21st Avenue South in Nashville has been transformed into "The Life of a Showgirl Starbies" for the weekend. The exterior of the cafe has been swapped out for new "Starbies" signage, and a massive glittery archway has been installed, providing the perfect backdrop for photo opportunities. Inside, the cafe has been outfitted with a pop-up record store, and Starbucks vinyls are floating from the ceiling, creating a unique and immersive experience for fans.
But the Swifty touches don't stop there. The cafe is also offering Eras Tour-inspired friendship bracelets and glittery sprinkles on their cold foam drinks, mirroring the singer's signature glitzy style. Customers can also step into a photo booth to commemorate the album's release.
Starbucks is not the only brand getting in on the "The Life of a Showgirl" fun. Krispy Kreme has turned its Original Glazed Doughnuts orange for the occasion, and Baked by Melissa has released a limited-edition 12-pack of Showgirl Cupcakes, featuring teal and orange frosting swirls.
As Swifties around the world eagerly await the arrival of "The Life of a Showgirl," Starbucks and other brands are ensuring that the celebration is as grand and glittery as the album itself.
