Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ – My Track-by-Track Ranking

The Life of a Showgirl is Taylor Swift’s most polarizing album to date, with some fans and critics finding it too slight in the aftermath of the thorny, complex Tortured Poets Department.

Then there’s the Travis Kelce of it all. Is the feminist pop icon really writing songs about child-rearing with her football star future husband, not to mention songs about his, um, wood?

While it is lyrically simpler than many previous efforts, Showgirl has its charms, and I shared my early thoughts about it in this ranking.
