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 myself, were ecstatic, as this would be the first album dedicated to Travis Kelce, Swift's fiancé and National Football League star.

As a self-proclaimed "Swiftie," I have grown up on her pop albums "Red" (2012) and "1989" (2014), and fell back in love with her music in my 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, with her beautiful storytelling, poetic lyricism, and effortless execution of any genre of music.
