why the life of a showgirl is a play within a play
It's been 1 full year of my podcast! Thank you so much! To celebrate, my Spotify subscription is now just $1. Please enjoy this gift from me to you <3
Taylor Swift’s 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, was released last week, and to the world’s surprise, it did not impress. But is Taylor really losing her craft? Is she becoming MAGA-fied? Has her man replaced her brain with a football? Or is there more to the story?
This episode, Hailey inspects this album through a different lens: an ironic one. Is it possible that this “new” Taylor is simply reflecting back on society what it wants from her? (that 1950s shit.) Is Taylor performing a play within a play–an ironic, 21st century rendition of the play within Hamlet? Are we actually seeing the life behind the Showgirl…or is she still on stage: performing for us, the heckling crowd?
