In honor of today’s other big launch – the release of Taylor Swift’s hotly anticipated new album The Life of a Showgirl – the first Billboard Daily Crossword puzzle is themed around the 12-time (so far) Billboard Hot 100-topping singer-songwriter. You don’t need to be a Swiftie to solve it — not all of the clues are about the 14-time Grammy winner – but it might help. Are you ready for it?

And why stop there? The Taylor Swift-themed crossword puzzle fun will continue all next week, Oct. 6-10. After that, you’ll just have to keep coming back to see what artist, song, lyric, trend or theme unites each crossword.

The Billboard Daily Crossword puzzle is powered by PuzzleMe™, created by an experienced team of crossword puzzle-making pros with oversight from the trivia hounds on Billboard’s staff.

Swifties can also check out Billboard’s ranking of all 12 tracks on The Life of a Showgirl and Jason Lipshutz’s critic’s take on the album, which he says is full of “pop anthems with humor, empathy, a little fury and a lot of wisdom.”
