Ultimately this boils down to her overexposure versus the quality of the music. At least to me lol. It isn’t a spot on TTPD, but it is a fucking cracking pop album.

Quentin Harrison @discowallflower.bsky.social · 19h

I think people are projecting what they think “the showgirl” persona is. To me, that persona has many different sides and I think that for what she needed for this effort, she didn’t mislead people. They just didn’t interpret it the way she does. And that’s okay.

Diane Keaton was quirky and lovable but made of steel — and her indelible roles in the 1970s made her one of the New Hollywood greats. More:

I think there is some brilliant work on here, then there is some that is just serviceable. But I think that may be the point too. TTPD and that arc from folklore onward was always going to be tough. Even if she took time away. This is giving me Lover vibes.

My last Taylor Swift “The Life Of A Showgirl” variant arrived on CD 💿 this afternoon & I love it ❤️ The call it the “Dressing Room Rehearsal Version”. I liked this look the best as it reminds me of Marilyn Monroe 💃🏼✨
