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, which was expected to be dedicated to her fiancé, Travis Kelce, a National Football League star.

As a self-proclaimed "Swiftie," the author has grown up on Swift's pop albums "Red" (2012) and "1989" (2014), and fell in love with her folk-inspired albums, "folklore" (2020) and "evermore" (2020).

Swift's music has always held a special place in my heart, with her beautiful storytelling, poetic lyricism, and effortless execution of any genre of music.

The author, however, expresses disappointment with the new album, despite being a loyal fan.

Author's summary: Disappointing album from Taylor Swift.
