i keep seeing people say it’s weird taylor doesn’t have any songs on this album about buying back her masters and it’s hit me that we are listening to father figure completely differently
i know society has lost its whimsy because of y’all heard Shake It Off, 22, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, or Blank Space today y’all would be shitting on them like no other, but those became generational, timeless hits.
🚨| Taylor Swift confirms on Z100 that The Life of a Showgirl tracklist was intentionally designed to look like the shape of “The Eras Tour” stage!
“It took them a while to figure out that one.”
Never in a million years would I have guessed that Father Figure would begin from the perspective of Scott Borchetta and end with Taylor reclaiming her power by becoming the father figure herself--this time, of the entire music industry
Tonight all these lives converge here
The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears
Where fraternal souls sing identical things
And it’s beautiful
It’s rapturous.
It is frightening.

I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right. A forever thank you goes out to my mentors and friends Max and Shellback for helping me paint this self portrait.
If you thought the big show was wild, perhaps you should come and take a look behind the curtain...
The Life of a Showgirl is out now.
