That's right - in less than four days, we'll have a brand new Taylor Swift album to listen to nonstop for the foreseeable future. Mother keeps us fed, y'all! CBS Being the absolute icon that she is, Taylor has announced a ton of events, appearances, and other fun things for the next hot minute in celebration of her upcoming release. So, here's everything you need to know about them, from where to stream, how to get tickets, and when to clock in for a surprise or two: 1. As we know, Taylor's 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, drops at midnight ET on Oct. 3 (or 9 p.m. PT on Oct. 2, for those on the West Coast).

If you're in or around NYC, Spotify will be hosting The Life of a Showgirl: A Spotify Experience from Tuesday, Sept. 30, through Thursday, Oct. 2, from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily, with the exact location still a secret. If their pop-up collab in Los Angeles last year for The Tortured Poets Department is any indication, the experience is likely to be full of album Easter eggs, sneak peeks at never-before-seen lyrics, and photo ops. View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @taylornation I attended the TTPD event in LA last year, and it was a blast, but definitely a big-time investment. As the event is free, expect long lines. The exhibit itself was about five minutes total start-to-finish, and we left with an album track bookmark and a printed photo from one of their photo ops. Nonetheless, it's a great opportunity to trade friendship bracelets with fellow fans, snap some great Instagram pics, and try to piece together hints about themes, lyrics, and references on the album.

Her movie theater premiere of the album, Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, kicks off at 12 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET also on Oct. 3 and runs through Oct. 5. In addition to lyric videos and never-before-seen personal reflections about the album tracks from Taylor, it will act as the official world premiere of "The Fate of Ophelia" - the Showgirl era's first music video. If you haven't snagged them already, tickets are available here.

Neither were announced before the fact, so there's every chance our showgirl has one of these up her sleeves for TLOAS's release, and that there are some very lucky Swifties with Taylor Nation DMs in their inboxes right now. Given that Taylor is set to be in England for the album's debut, perhaps a London fan premiere is in the works? We'll see! 4. Later that night, Taylor will be a guest on The Graham Norton Show, which airs at 10:40 p.m. in London. For those in the US, that's 5:40 p.m. ET/ 2:40 p.m. PT. She will appear alongside Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Domhnall Gleeson, and musical guest Lewis Capaldi. BBC / Via youtube.com Fans in the US can stream the show live on AMC+ or on BBC America's app or website with a valid TV provider login. 5. Taylor Nation shared a time card on their social media accounts today, with an event currently labeled "standby" at approximately 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT on Saturday, Oct. 4. We know this is an event, release, or announcement, as there's a hole punch right above it, as there is for every other event on the card. We don't know just what it's gonna be yet, but if I were you, I'd keep my eyes peeled and my post notifications ON for Saturday, because it looks like we've got a surprise to clock in for. 👀 View this photo on Instagram @taylornation / Instagram / Via Instagram: @taylornation Could this have anything to do with the "exit" signs she's been highlighting in her album artwork thus far? Are we getting another music video? Eras Tour doc to coincide with the behind-the-scenes-themed album? Or maybe...a Vegas residency? I simply cannot wait to find out! 6. On Oct. 6, Taylor makes her US late night return on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon as the celebrity guest on their Monday, Oct. 6 episode, as teased
