The Life of a Showgirl Album Review

'The Life of a Showgirl' is pure fun, that's all it needs to be.

Joanna Weiss notes that some hardcore Swifties dislike Taylor's latest album, possibly because they view it as a personal artifact rather than a work of art.

The album's popularity is undeniable, with its songs being played everywhere, from yoga classes to car windows, and its dance being reproduced on social media.

Maybe it’s because they're viewing the new album, not just as a work of art — a work of fiction — but as a primary-source artifact in the Personal History of Taylor Swift?

Author's summary: Taylor Swift's album is a fun experience.
