The Life of a Showgirl2025

Her worst album. Just everything about it felt so rushed, like, she just had to release one album not even a year after The Eras Tour ended. To me, it was like she scrapped something together, just so she wouldn’t lose momentum.

Which is disappointing, considering she could’ve put ten other (and better) vault tracks.

The aesthetics of the album didn’t really make sense, considering there’s only one song on the entire record about The Life Of A Showgirl. I also really dislike the cover, it’s so awkward. I wished she used any other alternative CD cover for the main cover.

After the release of *The Tortured Poets Department—*an album that saved my soul—I expected more from Mrs. Swift. But I guess that’s more on me than her.

I’d like to point out one thing that really bothered me while listening to the album. During The Fate Of Ophelia one lyric is

“'Tis locked inside my memory / And only you possess the key”

which is a quote that Ophelia says to her brother in Act 3 of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Swift flips the concept of the quote to make it about a romantic partner.
