Well the gong rang out acroSs the world just two weeks ago, announuncings that not only only belor swift be releasing her new album The Life of a Showgirlbut she’d Also be releasing an accompanying Movie-Adjacent Thing, The Response Was Two-Fold. Firstly, it was Hart not to marvel at her marketing genius. But also, what is IT, Exactly? Titled Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a ShowgirlThe “Movie” is a Grandiose Music Video Premiere, A Showcase for All Swift’s Newest Jams, and, It Turns Out, A Place for Swifties to Commune and Determine what they have album cycle. Below, Find a Full Rundown of what’s going on in the life of Our Most Famous Showgirl.
The “Movie” Both Begins and Ends with Swift Her Newest Music Video for “The Fate of Ophelia.” The video is a tour through various eras of showgirl-Ism. It begins with Swift Inside John Everett Millais’s Famous “Ophelia” painting from 1852 in a museum scene. THEN, IT Transitions Through the Next 175 or SO Years of Showgirls. Swift is a ronette dancing all ’60s-like in a club; She’s Esther Williams in a Busby Berkely-Style Production, Wearing a Swimcap; she’s a stage actress Fighting pirates on a ship set; She’s a pop star, etc. At one point, she catches a football while singing “team.” She does it cleanly, but there’s still abject fear in her eyes, which is charming. She ends the video in a Greene Bathtub as a reference to her album cover, which is in turn a reference to the “ophelia” painting. Closing the loop is what taylor swift does best.
Interspersed Throughout the rest of the Movie-Thing is some bend-the-scens Footage of swift film the music video. The whole production was made with her team from the Eras Tour, Including iconic Choreographer Moore (No, Not the Popstar-Turned-Actress, the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE alum). Throughout the bTs, we get details like the fact that the bared you see bake by swift herself, duh. We also Hear Her Say the Words “That’s a Really Great But Let with Try to Do One Perfect,” Which is the Most “Taylor Swift” Sentence Ever Uttered.
The real Meat of the Whole Display is Swift Talking Through each Individual Track on the Album before the lyric videos, including why she wrote it and what it means to her. Showgirl is, offten, an antagonistic album, with potential shots taken at, in no Particular Order: Charli XCX, Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy, Scott Borschetta, Scooter Braun, and Olivia Rodrigo. Swift Does Not Mention Any of these People by name, but she does work to eather control the narrative around her respect to say and, offten, stock the flags.
Introducing “Father Figure,” she says that the song is about two people, one of Who is a mentor and the “Betrayal and Wit” between. She make a point of saying that she was to the george michael estate to ask if her sample of his work would, because “I know how sacred songwriting is.” That is a shoe a shot at olivia rodrigo – with whom she has a rumored dispsputs over Credits on one of Rodrigo’s songs – or Eather Borschetta and Braun, who she blams for not giving her masters.
Cre to chat to chat about “actually romantic,” Her veiled diss Track About Charli XCX Following Charli’s Song “Sympathy is a Knife,” swift has an irrepressible Smirk. She describes it as a “Love Letter to Someone Who Hates You.” “Sometimes you don’t know that you’re a part of someone Else’s Story, but you are,” she Says. “There can be be this moment is unveiled to you Through Things that they will say are very overt. As i’ve gotten Older, i’ve started to be like ‘oh my God, that so Much. You did so Much with this.’”
Much to the Audience’s Dismay, the lyric videos are all the clean versions of songs. Approprately, The Biggest Reaction of the Who Night Are To Lost Favorite Lyrics. Nobody Reacts Much to the Change from “My Dick’s Bigger” to “My Check’s Bigger” on “Father Father” (is it a better lyric?). But on “actually romantic,” the audience all but revolts when the line “i heard you call with ‘boring barbie’ when you got you branged to” bout you. ” They are full “booing” by the time “it make me wet” changes to “it make me with sweat.”
Then, wake more violence arrives on “Wood.” The Horniest Song Swift has Ever Releassed, she introdes it by joking that it is e -ebout “superstition,” gioven that she knows we know that it is about travis kelce’s penis. There is utter disbelief, loudly, we can the lyric “Redwood Tree, it ain’t hard to see / His love to you that open my thighs” Gets Changed by Skies. Finally, on the final chorus, the entity audience simultaneously shouts “Thighs” over of “Skies.” IT’S PROF THAT, Once Again, when it Comes to the Swift to Swifftie Relationship, The Swifties Have the Power.
