Taylor Swift Life Of A Showgirl Review: Love looks good on the singer but there’s one big problem

There is one thing missing from Taylor Swift’s most recent release, The Life Of A Showgirl, which details her life and love for Travis Kelce and their time together.

The pressure Taylor Swift must face every time she releases an album would honestly be enough to send me spiralling. Imagine millions of people all over the world, anticipating your every move.

I am one of those millions, so I was eager to find out what Taylor had in store for us next. Since I was a teenager crying in my bedroom as I saberdied my own rendition of “Drew” as I saberdied along Teardrops On My Guitar, I’ve been a fan of Taylor.

I’ve had my share of Taylor’s songs since I was a teenager, through my heartbreaks, and through my difficult school years, so I was curious to see how her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, might magically resemble what I now feel as a 32-year-old woman.

The most recent news about Taylor Swift’s album release can be found on our live blog.

Taylor kicks off with her lead single The Fate of Ophelia, which appears to be a sweet nod to her husband-to-be Travis, following on from her previous album, The Tortured Poets Department.

She reportedly details all the heartaches that led to her current situation, including the phrase “It’s locked inside my memory and only you possess the key,” while singing, “It’s locked inside my memory” and telling me I’m no longer drowning and deceived because you came for me.”

Eldest Daughter, which features her heartbreakingly sings about being portrayed as the “bad bitch” by “traitors,” and even acknowledges that she wasn’t allowed to want a marriage because she hadn’t found The One yet, is the theme of the entire album.

Then comes Taylor Swift’s anthem Ruin The Friendship. What begins as a happy and romantic song about falling for a friend at the wrong time quickly turns dark as she sings “I whispered at the grave/ Should’ve kissed you anyway””.

Before moving on to the final song, where she collaborates with Sabrina Carpenter for the track’s title, The Life of a Showgirl, the album makes more references to Travis in Wi $h Li $t and Wood. Before the song’s conclusion, the song briefly references Sabrina’s appearance at The Eras Tour and the pair’s very similar struggles with fame and being in the spotlight.

The album is undoubtedly not long enough, which is just one of my issues with it. Taylor is accustomed to releasing lengthy LPs with even longer extended extended versions, and don’t forget the many vault tracks from Taylor’s Re-Recorded albums. So I’m hoping that this will be expanded soon.

Continue reading the article.

However, one thing is unmistakable. Taylor has endured hell in the past few years, fighting for the rights to her own music, facing scrutiny of her every move, and having trouble finding The One before finally getting married to Travis Kelce.

She has reached this point at the end of every battle, disaster, and heartache. Nothing comes before it, but that’s not the point, isn’t it? You’ll absolutely detest this if you weren’t anticipating The Tortured Poets Department’s destruction or the pop bangers of 1989.

Today’s horoscope for October 3 as Gemini considers a side hustle

One star sign wants to feel productive on Friday, October 3, according to their horoscope, while the other one focuses on personal development.

One star sign chooses to work alone while the other looks out for the other’s.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

The discussion will center on revitalizing potential stalled plans or reviving joint projects. You’ll want to look into the issue in a different way to find out what’s preventing you from feeling trapped in certain circumstances. The root of this issue might be someone’s unwillingness to change.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Be willing to accept an offer or opportunity that speaks to your soul, even if it didn’t happen today. A special invitation to try something new might turn out to be quite extraordinary. You’ll enjoy having friends, but you’ll also like the chance to learn about a subject that’s always piqued your interest.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

You need to motivate your team to think creatively in order for a project you are working on to succeed. You might think about how you can use your creative abilities to generate income, especially if you work from home or plan to put your money into helping to protect the environment.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

You might be able to use your perspective on a challenge to your advantage. You’ll come to terms with the fact that stepping outside your comfort zone could help you grow personally.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

You want to feel as though your situation is improving and progressing. Keep an eye on yourself, but do it in a relaxed manner to prevent a competitor from obstructing your progress. Respecting those who have different viewpoints will yield positive outcomes. Every relationship requires a give and take attitude.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

It is pointless to point fingers at others who are preventing you. Your lack of progress is not attributable to your lack of support from those around you. Be prepared to move forward with something that is important to you, whether it is with or without the assistance of friends or coworkers.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

Joint endeavors will provide enriching and inspiring experiences. In difficult negotiations, a talented friend or coworker will offer to assist. Your goal is for everyone to have a positive outcome. While helping others is important, taking care of one’s needs is equally important.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Only a few people are aware of the events that are taking place, which are causing your restlessness. Before everything is revealed in full view, you won’t be happy. You might decide to act if another significant issue is brought up in your view.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

You can make incredible progress toward a goal that has been occupying your thoughts with a quick burst of energy. You’ll find overwhelming motivation to begin making plans that will succeed in the coming weeks.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

You will have the best chance to accomplish your personal ambition or goal. If a dream becomes a reality, you are more than capable of accepting challenging tasks. Be sure to profit from any information someone gives you that might be useful.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

You had your thoughts set on both financial and professional issues. Talking with a supervisor at work will ease your worries. A previously troubling situation can now be seen from a different perspective. Make every effort to maintain your personal and household budget.

Continue reading the article.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

You are more than typically sensitive to the environment around you, which makes it easier for you to recognize undetectable trends. Even if someone is attempting to conceal it, you won’t feel the need to show more kindness to someone who appears to be a little fragile.

Taylor Swift’s daily breakfast drink that stops her from getting sick

The drink is surprisingly fitting for the release of The Life of a Showgirl this October

Taylor Swift fans might be interested to discover that one item she claims to drink every morning – and it could already be in your fridge at home. The 35-year-old pop sensation is reported to begin her day with a specific drink made from a common superfood

Millions of Taylor’s fans have been eagerly awaiting the drop of her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, which launches a new ‘era’ for the star. The singer chose the colour orange to represent the new wave of music – and it seems like it’s not the only orange thing in her life.

During an interview with Bon Appétit magazine, Taylor said that she pairs her “go-to breakfast” with a glass of orange juice. This budget-friendly supermarket staple not only satisfies thirst but also comes with a wealth of health benefits.

Oranges are brimming with vitamin C, an essential nutrient that the NHS acknowledges for supporting healthy skin, blood vessels, bones, and cartilage. Organic and unsweetened orange juice can contribute to overall wellness.

It’s also believed to strengthen the immune system, assisting in fighting off common colds and reducing illness duration. Consuming oranges proves especially valuable during winter months when bugs like norovirus, coronavirus, and flu circulate widely, reports Surrey Live.

Eating vitamin C-rich foods can also benefit people battling anaemia by enhancing iron absorption, leading to improved uptake and greater dietary advantages. Oranges also contain flavonoids, natural plant substances that primarily provide antioxidant qualities, potentially protecting the body from ailments, including heart disease and cancer

Oranges, packed with vitamin C, are a fantastic way to boost your body’s collagen levels. Vitamin C aids the body in producing this vital protein, which contributes to healthy skin, cartilage, blood vessels and more.

Collagen is responsible for giving our skin strength, elasticity, and hydration, resulting in a plump, firm and smooth appearance. Although our bodies naturally produce collagen, production begins to decline from our mid-20s onwards.

According to NHS guidelines, a 150ml glass of unsweetened orange juice can be considered as one portion. However, it’s important to remember that regardless of how much you drink, juices like orange juice can only be counted once per day.
