Also, I hope y'all know that this negativity around Showgirl won't go away once she moves on from it. Be prepared for "she's pandering to MAGA now that Trump is in office" discourse when TS13 is country

Country: MAGA!

Pop: BAD!

Rock: OLIVIA!

ALT: FOLKLORE NACHOS!

Might as well get ready in time

Mr. S is so iconic

i need more showgirl so that everybody fumes even more

The way I cannot think about or concentrate on anything else

Goddamn it

The accuracy

I honestly have always thought that more (great) Showgirl songs would give the album a purpose for me. Fingers crossed for that, but I am prepared to give Mixtape 20th anny one (1) stream if that's what this is

at least you're ok with another Actually Romantic, Eldest Daughter and CANCELLED!

EDIT : wait so it's happy tears or not? I'm genuinely confused

Happy tears! The first 3 tracks from TLOAS are some of Taylor's best and catchiest pop in years

Right...if that's AI then I'm spooked.

But wasn't this just a random demo she recorded at like 13/14? She didn't even write on it I believe.

OMG

If this is legit, this definitely gives debut vibes. I know people are saying her debut already has a deluxe, but I think there could still be an Anniversary Deluxe edition.

Something about the vocals at the start of the chorus seems familiar — the "here I aaaaammm". I'm inclined to think it's AI that's tracking to her demo, but using a Suno style mimicry of her recent vocal tone. There's something just slightly wrong with how she's pronouncing some of the words for me.

💿 Deluxe tracks

13. "After the Applause"
A huge, melancholy opener. She gets everything she wanted—stadiums, fame, records—but asks who am I when nobody is watching?
Think mirrorball meets The Prophecy.

14. "Marquee"
Sexy, glamorous, slightly sinister. The relationship between Taylor and celebrity itself becomes almost like a toxic lover.

"You loved me in lights / You loved me at midnight / But never when the marquee went dark."

15. "Encore"
A romantic song about repeatedly choosing the same person despite everything. Big piano → massive final chorus.

16. "The Girl in the Dressing Room"
This would be the devastating one. Adult Taylor talking to the teenage girl who dreamed of becoming a star.

17. "Velvet Rope"
A sharp, Reputation-esque song about boundaries and people who believe access to her is something they're entitled to.

18. "Second Act"
Probably the fan-favorite. It's about realizing your life doesn't have to peak at 25.
Very Nothing New emotionally, but from the perspective of someone who's actually lived through it.

19. "Curtain Call"
The closer. Not necessarily about death or retirement—more about accepting that every era ends.

And then…

🎭 The absolutely insane final track

20. "Showgirl" (The Last Performance)

A 10-minute cinematic closer.

The first half is glamorous and triumphant. Then the production slowly strips away until it's basically Taylor singing over piano.

The final verse would reveal that the "showgirl" wasn't really the celebrity persona—it was the version of herself she created to survive being watched.

And the last line would be something devastatingly simple like:

"When the curtain fell, I finally saw me."

Then silence for about 8 seconds before the album ends.

Mother!

Well damnnnnnn… what a nice surprise.

I'm gonna let the Swifties do what they do best because that video definitely has a few clues.

And she was great. That was probably the best acting I've ever seen from her… (which isn't saying much - but still)

The way the world revolves around her

so she's definitely announcing something this week

no idea what her 'clues' mean unless they're clues for track titles

Those random words....smart Swifties get to work please
