The Release Party of a Showgirl
Worn On: 10/3/25 // the release party of a showgirl
the commentary
I’m fresh from the theatre and my showing of The Party of a Showgirl - Taylor’s theatrical supporting project to her new album. It’s her effort essentially to democratize her “secret session” fan experience and continues her approach of turning her music into a communal event. The 1.5 hour long film premieres the music video for the lead single “The Fate of Ophelia”, track by track descriptions of each song, and behind-the-scenes content from the making of the music video.
In addition to adding to the rich visuals of the Showgirl world, the film also gave us more casual peeks at Taylor during video rehearsals. While the otter shirt may have gotten more attention, the shirt that drew *my* eye was this Gucci one. Not just for the subtle “CANCELLED!” reference (“I like ‘em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal”) but because this is a deep pull from her closet! Taylor first wore this shirt to a reputation Tour meet and greet in 2018 and then again in the Miss Americana documentary in 2020. But the real kicker for me is the city of that meet and greet: Kansas City, MO. Yes, really!
