Taylor Swift’s latest album ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ is here, and Billboard News is running down all the bops, like “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Elizabeth Taylor” and Travis Kelce’s favorite song “Opalite,” as well as the feature from Sabrina Carpenter on the title song and the rumored drama behind track “Actually Romantic.” We were out on the streets to see what Swifties thought about the album, and we take a look back on Taylor Swift’s most iconic moments with Billboard.
Taylor Swift: Yes, this is why I do music.
Tetris Kelly: Happy Taylor Swift weekend — The Life of a Showgirl is here, and as Swifties dissect the album, we’re gonna do it with you with our very own album deep dive. Taylor Swift chose “The Fate of Ophelia” as the first single kicking off The Life of a Showgirl. And then “Elizabeth Taylor” had me singing, boy does she have everybody gagged at the lyrics for “Wood.”
Travis Kelce: “Opalite” might be my favorite, though.
Tetris Kelly: And 10 out of 10 for my favorite track on the album.
Taylor Swift: Oh, that means the world to me, because that might be my favorite, too.
Tetris Kelly: Never getting over this song. And of course, nobody could wait for the title track and Sabrina Carpenter collab, and it was worth the wait. She took Swifties on a journey in “Ruin the Friendship” anyway. And yes, there’s “Actually Romantic” that everyone is assuming is a specific response to a certain pop star. We were all seated. Do you have a favorite track yet?
For our full show on all things Taylor, head over to Billboard News on YouTube on Saturday.
