Kravitz praises Taylor Swift album ahead of release

Zoë Kravitz told Extra during a junket for her film Caught Stealing that she has heard bits of her friend Taylor Swift’s forthcoming album The Life of a Showgirl and gave it five stars. “It’s fantastic, of course. No skips,” Kravitz said, noting that such praise is not unusual for Swift among people who know her work well.

The pair have a long-standing friendship, dating back nearly a decade, and Kravitz has previously contributed to Swift projects, including co-writing Karma and providing background vocals on Lavender Haze. Swift’s Eras Tour and the surrounding media buzz have kept both stars in the spotlight as Swift prepares to release the 12-track album on October 3. In a recent New Heights podcast episode, Swift outlined the themes of the record, describing it as a behind-the-scenes look at her inner life during the tour and emphasizing a focus on quality and cohesion across tracks.

The exchange underscores how friend groups inside the celebrity world can amplify an album’s early life without a traditional review process. Kravitz’s casual endorsement acts as a soft signal to Swift fans and media that the project is worth attention. It also highlights how Swift builds anticipation through selective disclosures about the creative process. While the praise is sincere, it sits within a carefully managed promotional arc led by Swift and her team. The result is a blend of genuine camaraderie and orchestrated hype that keeps fans engaged without revealing too much, too early.
