Cardi B has officially set September 19, 2025, as the release date for her long-awaited second studio album, Am I The Drama?. This marks her first full-length project since her 2018 debut, Invasion of Privacy, which earned her a Grammy and cemented her as one of hip-hop’s biggest stars. The date reveal came with a dramatic teaser showing Cardi surrounded by crows, hinting at a bold, unapologetic era ahead.
Just days later, Taylor Swift announced The Life of a Showgirl, her next album, a pop-heavy collection crafted with hitmaker Max Martin, but still rooted in the storytelling that’s become her trademark. Swift’s project will arrive after Cardi’s, and that timing sparked a playful moment between the two megastars.
Cardi joked that she was “relieved” Taylor’s drop is coming after hers, sidestepping what could’ve been a major chart showdown. Fans took it as lighthearted respect between two artists who dominate in their own lanes, and an early sign that September is shaping up to be a blockbuster month for music.
Whether you’re team Cardi, team Taylor, or both, the fall release calendar just got a lot more exciting.
