The Life of a showgirl Taylor Swift is probably destined to overcome the absolute record of physical copies sold in the first week of publication, as well as having already broken various primates relating to streaming. But he also collected professional reviews and extremely negative social comments due to the littleness of certain texts, predictable arrangements, too many quotes and interpolations, of his lightness.
A meme summarizes the idea that many have made themselves tracing a parallel between the evolution (or perhaps it would be better to say the involution) of the Swift discography and that of Katy Perry: the first signs of failure (Midnights And Witness), the disappointment (The tortured poets department And Smile), the total disaster (The Life of a showgirl And 143).
Apparently, the thing does not annoy Swift, and not only because the sales and streams of The Life of a showgirl They right them or why, as he sings in Romantic actuallywhoever speaks badly of her annoys her as “a chihuahua who barking me from a handbag”.
In an interview with Zane Lowe, Swift says that chaos is “welcome” and that “there is a rule in the show business according to which you are helping me if you say my name or the title of my album in the week in which it comes out”. Talk about it badly, but talk about it.
In any case, “when it comes to art, I feel great respect for subjective opinions. They are not the police of taste, everyone can try what they want. As an entertainers, our goal is to be mirrors ».
Often, SWIFT says, a record is a way that people have to look in the mirror. «What you are passing in your life ends up having an effect on your relationship with the music that publishes at that given moment. I like to hear from my fans like things like “before I didn't identify myself with Reputationbut now that I have lived certain other experiences is my favorite album “or” before I was a fan of Fearlessnow I'm obsessed with Submarine“We do this job to do things that remain. When I make up, I always keep in mind the inheritance that I will leave behind me. I know what I created. I know I love it and I know that all this is part of the theme of Showgirl».
If The Life of a showgirl It's light and “easy”, it's because she wanted it exactly like that. Indeed, he wanted to make such a album for a lifetime, “in the sense that I have always wanted to have fun in this way: having fun, showing my mischievous and penetting side, joke and show me also in this light. It is an important part of my personality ».
