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

Taylor meant it when she said she liked her friends cloaked in Gucci. In addition to authentic showgirl costume pulls from the archives of Vegas’ strip and exciting off-the-runway pieces from fashion houses, Taylor also incorporated custom looks into her Showgirl visuals - including this custom Gucci gown.

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.

During the NFL offseason, Taylor vacationed with Charissa Thompson in Big Sky, Montana. And she took in all the local activities - including snow sports.

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

Her outfit worn for her Heart Radio appearance leaned into the orange tones of Showgirl’s signature era palette for a more casual and girly fall look.

Her outfit worn for her BBC Radio 1 appearance continued her string of David Koma pulls. The floating crystal embellishments here reminds me of the shatter effect seen on The Life of a Showgirl album covers.

Taylor conducted a rapid speed press junket for radio while she was in London doing promotional work for The Life of a Showgirl in an outfit that injected a little bit of that Showgirl flair.

Taylor often returns to the same designers, selecting the same ones for similar events. In predicting what she might wear for her late night blitz of promotion for Showgirl, my bets were on David Koma.
