Showgirl isn't what I thought it would be. When Taylor teased it as “my life unfolding backstage”, I expected something raw, maybe even dark. A meditation on fame, performance, the exhaustion of always being “on"
But that’s not what this album is at all! A thread!
I fear I will be logging off!!! The instant gratification is crazyyyy like showgirl was announced a little over a month and a half ago and ya’ll cant even wait a couple more hours…we are not the same
🚨| Taylor Swift on “The Life of a Showgirl”
“This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant,—It just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life. And so that effervescence has come through on this record.”
