The Life of a Showgirl - Wikipedia
2 days ago - Songs such as "Father Figure", "Cancelled!", and "The Life of a Showgirl" feature a string orchestra of Swedish musicians. The three opening tracks—"The Fate of Ophelia", "Elizabeth Taylor", and "Opalite"—showcase a pop production and booming bass beats; Tristen Schilling of Hot Press opined that they recalled Swift's singles "Style" (2015) and "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" (2024).
The Life of a Showgirl Megathread
Father figure might be an all time great, maybe top 10 or 13. I can't get it out of my head and that bridge makes me ASCEND. Speaking of bridges - opalite bridge is not getting enough hype. It's classic Taylor. And the vocals, so good More on reddit.com

Half the album is an easy fun listen. The other half should never be heard again. Wait until she has a kid and the classics will come again! She’s just out of material at this point. More on reddit.com

🧡 Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl - discussion MEGATHREAD 🧡
Her older songs were such a joy to sing and rolled off the tongue so effortlessly. Now they seem almost stuffed with brand names, slang, and constant references to herself or the latest headlines. She clearly enjoys writing but the rhythm and flow of some of the newer songs just feel off. I’m no expert but it doesn’t quite hit the same way or feel as fun. More on reddit.com

I remember being really, really upset about my inability to afford Eras Tour tickets due to financial constraints on both ends of the tour, little did I know that upset would be nothing in comparison to seeing people who could afford to attend the tour being some of the same people participating in the ongoing smear campaign calling Taylor some of the most heinous things imaginable. Genuinely depressing seeing the nonzero crossover online. That being said, TLOAS as an album continues to be a standout in my daily rotation at work - the 70s inspired production I just can't put down it's too good!!!

The Life of a Showgirl by Taylor Swift on Apple Music
October 3, 2025 - Well, its success sparked the flame inside Taylor Swift that led to a reunion with former collaborators Max Martin and Shellback for her 12th full-length The Life of a Showgirl. Indeed, in a very showgirl manner, Swift flew back and forth to Sweden between stops on her European leg—remember, the singer-songwriter believes “jet lag is a choice”—to join Martin and Shellback, Swift’s co-writers and producers on some of the most memorable and popular hits of her career (“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “22,” “Shake It Off,” “Blank Space,” “Don’t Blame Me,” and “Delicate,” to name a few).

Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl Lyrics and Tracklist | Genius
October 3, 2025 - 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. […] This is the record I’ve been wanting to make for a long time […] It’s about what I was going through offstage. ... [Max Martin, Shellback, and I] have made some of my favorite songs that I’ve ever done before.
