The Life Of A Showgirl
The Life of a Showgirl feels like Taylor Swift stepping into her spotlight with full Vegas energy. The visuals are drenched in feathers, rhinestones, and sequins. The sound is rumoured to be cinematic and bold, with the confessional lyrics she’s known for. This is Taylor at her most glamorous and her most daring.
What we don’t see from any of the images so far is a smile. It all appears serious and businesslike. This is very fitting given the era we are in with her now, she owns her own music rights and everything that goes with it. This album is important and she has full creative control to present what she wants in the way she wants.
