Should I listen to the life of a Showgirl

Taylor Swift released her twelfth studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” which features twelve tracks, with the last track featuring a special guest appearance by pop singer Sabrina Carpenter. If you’re wondering whether to listen to this album, here is a breakdown, analysis, and rating of Taylor’s album.

DISCLAIMER: I’m a massive Swiftie, and I have seen her four times, bought all her albums, and know almost everything about the Taylor lore. I am in no way shaming, condemning, or hating on Taylor. As first and foremost a Catholic, I will always strive to put purity and goodness in my soul, heart, and mind. I care about Taylor greatly and pray that she has a conversion and really looks at what she is putting out to the world and the messages she is sending.

The Cover

Dare I say, this is Taylor’s most sexual album yet, and it hurts my heart to say that. When she announced her new record on the New Heights Podcast, which is a podcast run by Jason Kelce, and Taylor’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, I was shocked to see an album where Taylor was blatantly showing more skin than she ever has.

And the album photoshoot just got worse from there. It crushed my soul to know that she had a loving boyfriend, she had a successful tour that lasted two years, with attendance numbers and ticket sales off the charts, and yet she still felt the need to inappropriately show off her body on the cover that sold $15 million worth of records only in pre-orders.

The way the world is now, I would be mortified for anyone to be able to look at my body this way. I don’t care if it’s deemed sexy or if Taylor was trying to fit into an image or play a character, but there are different ways to do this, and not as lustful.

I am also really ashamed of Travis Kelce, who I’m sure approved of this and is so excited for this album. In the New Heights Podcast episode, you can see how gleeful he is to show off his at-the-time girlfriend, and now fiancée, with the cover of the album. I am all for being proud of your significant other, but as a strong man, he should have wanted his fiancée to be private about her body and show off her insanely talented lyrics and voice.

While this might have already made you second-guess giving any attention to this album, let’s dive headfirst into the songs, lyrics, and messages:
