One way that Taylor has described this album as her life behind the curtain, including her post-show come down.

This is an album from the sonic and visual perspective of a life on the other side of revisiting her own archive. And boy does it look good.

Even on her way to her hotel room with room service on the way, the showgirl continues to posture and perform.

Taylor published a new commercial promoting the Target variant of her album The Life of a Showgirl: The Crowd Is Your King.

It’s early to say but this shot and the corresponding cover for The Life of a Showgirl: The Crowd Is Your King variant might be my favourite shots from this shoot yet. 

Taylor leans into Showgirl aesthetic with this customized Bob Mackie look.

Paying proper homage to the showgirl aesthetic with authentic costumes straight from the Vegas archives.

Taylor opted to pay true homage to showgirl aesthetic by pulling original costumes from the long-standing Vegas show Jubilee! for her album visuals.

It would be impossible to do a showgirl-themed album without referencing Bob Mackie — the iconic costume designer. I’m so glad to see his designs here!

The imagery we’ve seen from The Life Of A Showgirl is already so visually arresting and layered. This shot, in particular, caught my eye.

My first thought upon seeing this particular photo was its similarity to the theatrical, vaudeville, feathery elements of the “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” performance from the Eras Tour.

The cover look of Taylor’s 12th era!

One of my favourite parts of the album listening experience is, of course, the new set of visuals that come with it. And oh swoon is this one ever beautiful.

The back cover and official tracklisting of Taylor’s first re-recorded album is here. On the back, she wears a shirred, lace-trim button up from one of her favourite brands: Free People. 

I love Taylor’s entire hair and beauty look here! So laidback and free, and the bright pop of colour from her spring coral Keds offsets those tanned legs perfectly.

Oh how I’d love to see this photo in colour and from a different angle. I love the illusion neck and subtle drape of this sweater. 

Many, many, many more thoughts to come later. But for now … I’m just breathless.
