The Downfall of a Showgirl: An Analysis of Taylor Swift's Newest Album

Taylor Swift released her twelfth original studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl" (TLOAS) on October 3. Fans, including the author, were initially ecstatic, as this would be the first album dedicated to Travis Kelce, Swift's fiancé and National Football League star.

However, those dedicated fans, including the author, would be sorely disappointed. The author, a self-proclaimed "Swiftie," has grown up on Swift's pop albums "Red" (2012) and "1989" (2014), and fell back in love with her music in their early teenage years with the introduction of her folk-inspired albums, "folklore" (2020) and "evermore" (2020).

Swift's music has always held a special place in my heart.

Between her beautiful storytelling, poetic lyricism, and effortless execution of any genre of music, there was always something for the author to like in each of Swift's albums.

Author's summary: Taylor Swift's newest album disappoints fans.
