Taylor Swift on stage in London last year via Associated PressWhile critics are so far pretty split on Taylor Swift’s new album, one thing they can agree on is that it’s not what they were expecting. Some critics have been heaping praise on the new release, while others are skeptical about Taylor’s new direction. Well, that’s where The Life Of A Showgirl comes in. Only a sucker would think the curtain close of the Eras Tour marked the end of Swift’s almighty reign in the pop sphere. In that way, Showgirl is a more cogent form of chaos than Swift’s prior two albums, Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department, which were unwieldy and centreless.”
