This is like choosing to not attend a party you weren't invited to.

This is why her music has become more and more sh*t, because she’s rewarded for extreme mediocrity and doesn’t have anyone in her camp to tell her no. We’ll prob see her next year with an even more subpar album with a random theme slapped onto it.

rs giving this a 100 but mayhem an 80

Interesting. As she is so sensitive about this subject, maybe she should give these artists cowriting credit like the one she demanded from Olivia Rodrigo.

The Variety review has to be 10/10 Ragebait. "Swift has never made two albums that sound alike, and that’s certainly the case with this nearly polar-opposite followup to her “Tortured” era. We like her when she’s mad (with apologies to the Incredible Hulk), and of course, she already proudly told us there’s nothing like a madwoman. But she also once told us, “Why be mad when you can be glad?" "It’s too late for Swift to have a “song of the summer,” but this feels like the Album of the Summer — the calendar be damned. It’s giddy, funny, touching, silly, haughty and moving in about equal measure, but most of all, it’s got a sunstruck kind of love that besottedly seeps through the orange LP grooves and might even make you believe in romance again, too. Bring your own SPF 50." https://variety.com/2025/music/album-reviews/taylor-swift-album-review-life-of-a-showgirl-1236537532/ They gave it a 92/100 btw

Well she will inevitably break Adele's record with one of her albums so not surprising to me. The key difference is, when Adele released 25, everyone and their mother rushed to buy a personal copy, and maybe one for the car. People gifted the album to eachother at Christmas because they thought the receiver likes Adele just as much as they do. That's an artist that really touched the regular person. Like Céline did before her. Like Whitney with Bodyguard. Taylor releases same bland songs with 55 variants in 120 formats and her fanbase makes sure to get all of them because they think it's their personality. Art and music can be commercial, but Taylor is just the soundtrack to late capitalism. I will continue to be disgruntled, and she'll continue to sell millions every week.

I see a lot of reviews prasing the lyrics and saying the production feels new and fresh - this feels like we are being gaslit

Boring Barbie did THAT!!!

not to be an evil hag but im seated for the -150M drop tomorrow

lol This album wasn't my cup of tea, but the music video looked nice with the long tracking shots.

More like 100k people bought 30 copies

This is taking me out

Remember this viral meme? Which quickly becomes a trend in other stanbases afterwards. Now starbucks actually make it happen for the first time, kinda, and they did it for Taylor Swift new album launch! and it was happening worldwide, not just the USA And yes, they are selling the new CD & vinyl too how fun is this?!! Hope they will do similiar promos to other MPGs next time

oh that hag and her team are desperate for streams.

That's Entertainment on Harlequin is more Showgirl than this Showgirl album

It's obviously either paid or written by a suck up stan. Just look at their previous TS ratings. All 100's.

Why are people so obsessed with her? Boring æss music. Same goes for Sabrina Carpenter - they have nothing to offer. Their music is bland.

Top 10 in her discography SHICD WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH🥹

Future cult film remains unbothered against the GPs backlash

The album debuts with 249.979.391 streams

It feels like we’ve lived 5 different lifetimes since that movie

I love local midnight releases. There’s something about pressing play at midnight and listening in the dark

Apparently the person that does Taylor’s Rolling Stone reviews is a swifty anyway so..

She'll find a way to once again victimize herself by the poor reception of this album and release another Reputation

It's impossible how much every performance of Vanish gets me excited, since the first listen I knew this song was going to be amazing live... And I can't believe that in only 12 days I will hear this woman live after 17 years of waiting

Good, She is above Grammys

Update: The Life of a Showgirl surpasses a major 10-year-old consumption record held by Adele, and continues to near the modern-era single-week album sales record. Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl has now earned 3.5 million equivalent album units in the United States, according to initial reports to data tracking firm Luminate, since the album’s release on Oct. 3. Of that sum, traditional album sales (physical and digital purchases) equal 3.2 million copies, with the remaining 300,000 powered by streaming activity of the songs on the album. https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/taylor-swift-life-of-a-showgirl-first-day-sales-debut-week-1236082178/ ⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃ PREVIOUSLY (OCT. 6): Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl has reached 3 million in traditional album sales (physical and digital purchases), across all versions of the album, according to initial reports to data tracking firm Luminate. On the album’s first day of release (Oct. 3), it cleared 2.7 million sold. Showgirl has earned over 3.2 million equivalent album units in the U.S. (Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.) Of note, none of the tracks from the album are available to purchase individually on digital stores. As for Showgirl’s streaming start – its 12 songs generated over 300 million on-demand official streams in its first two days in the U.S. (Oct. 3-4). The most-streamed song on Showgirl in its first two days is “The Fate of Ophelia,” with more than 48 million official on-demand steams. That number could grow significantly following the song’s official music video premiere on YouTube on Sunday, Oct. 5. ⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃ PREVIOUSLY (OCT. 4): Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl album is off to a sparkling start in the United States. On its first day of release, Oct. 3, the set sold 2.7 million copies in traditional album sales (physical and digital purchases) across all versions of the album, according to initial reports to data tracking firm Luminate. That marks Swift’s biggest week ever, and the second-largest sales week for any album in the modern era — since Luminate began electronically tracking data in 1991. The only larger sales week in that span of time was registered by the opening frame of Adele’s 25, which sold 3.378 million copies in its first week in 2015. Showgirl also stuns with a new modern-era record (1991-present) for the most copies of a vinyl album sold in a single week, having already sold 1.2 million copies on wax. That breaks the single-week record, set by Swift in 2024, when her last album, The Tortured Poets Department, sold 859,000 copies on vinyl in its first week. Luminate’s sales, streaming and airplay data powers Billboard’s charts. All numbers in this story are for the U.S. only. Further news of first-week building sales and streaming activity for the album, as provided by Luminate, will be reported in the coming days.

As a huge fan of the first film, I’m an even bigger fan of the second - and not because of Gaga. THE COMMENTARY. P.S. Harlequin is INCREDIBLE and I still listen to it frequently.

She already did hunger marketing for Mayhem. Announced lead single was out in October. Released it at the end of October. Announced album was out in February. Released it in March.

A 100 for nearly any album is a huge stretch. I know its opinion based but nobody can convince me that anyone listened to this and could find ANY room for improvement.

The songs are so bland and half-ássed… are people claiming to love it just lying to themselves because they spent hundreds of dollars buying a mediocre album???

With 8 reviews, 5 mixed, and 3 positive, Taylor's 12th album debuts 73 metacritic score. Please check this link for more details: https://www.metacritic.com/music/the-life-of-a-showgirl/taylor-swift

Love it! Saw it twice at the theater (Oct 3 + 4) and once on streaming. Can't wait to watch it for the anniversary! I think it's just a misunderstood masterpiece and those that get it, get it. Notable icons in the film industry like Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola, etc, have praised the film.

It's not alternative. It's dance/electronic pop. Gesaffelstein is literally a DJ. But they submitted Abracadabra for that category, which is certainly a lock for a nomination.
