The release of Taylor Swift’s new album “The Life of a Showgirl” (clean version) has taken the world by storm, but not in a good way. Her song titled “CANCELLED!”, which has the lyric “Did you girl boss too close to the sun,” has got to be among the strangest song lyrics of the year so far.
This one song lyric shaped the way people perceived the album but some songs are decent, for example, the first song on the album titled “The Fate of Ophelia“ has the same sound as her older albums, which people love. This song is talking about how someone (Travis Kelce) saved her from her being sad and depressed. Some other songs on the album that sound decent and like her older works include “Elizabeth Taylor”, “Opalite”, “Father Figure”, “Ruin the Friendship”, “Actually Romantic”, “Wood”, “Honey”, and “The Life of a Showgirl (featuring Sabrina Carpenter.)”
In comparison, other songs such as “Eldest Daughter”, and “Wi$h Li$t” are like “CANCELLED!” where they have strange lyrics that anyone could write. This album also sounds like she is angry with every other man she was with before Kelce and this album was the way to let her frustrations out.
By only having views of her album from TikTok, the rest of the songs are being buried by people refusing to listen to it, instead choosing to only listen to one song lyric over and over again, instead of taking a look at the album as a whole. So even though this album is not her best, she should not be getting hate for it.
