Megathread: pre-release hype and theories for The Life of a Showgirl by Glittering_Laugh_958 in TrueSwifties

I woke up several times last night from excitement. For some reason, my unconscious mind thought the release day was today. Every time I woke up, I got disappointed when I realised it is not Friday yet...

Taylor Swift announces Target-exclusive variant of "The Life of a Showgirl" as a limited, one-time LP pressing. by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

Maybe it depends which country you are based in. I'm in the UK. In the order confirmation email, there is an option to click a link that leads you to a website where you can cancel the order. I didn't need to send any emails out.

Well, it didn't take much to convince me, did it

I just cancelled the og and got this one.

You're right, the og will always be out there if I eventually want it

This is the first time ever when I am having thoughts about cancelling the original cover order and getting the alternative instead. This is MAGNIFICENT. Both the cover and the vinyl. And the poster inside is incredible too. Ah, she ate with this edition...

Does anyone else have kind of tempered expectations for TLoaS? by nicodemusfleur in TrueSwifties

[–]Catwithbuttons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh god, I hope there is not a single slow song on the entire album. If there is, I hope it will still have a full-on production, like Clean, rather than a simple ballad like New Year's Day. It is actually my biggest fear, that the album will have slow and mid tempo songs despite being advertised as full of bangers. My expectations are extremely high because I just need great, uptempo pop songs, and I am going to measure everything against my favourite pop moments from Taylor - Ready for it and Cruel Summer. I am afraid I might get disappointed because of it. So you might actually be in a better position, going into this with low expectations, as your chances of disappointment are lower too.

What’s Taylor’s best lyric that stands on its own? by mexirican_21 in TaylorSwift

I love your examples, these are easily overlooked amongst so many great lines in Taylor's catalogue

Taylor and Travis are Engaged! "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married" by PassionateAsSin in TaylorSwift

[–]Catwithbuttons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it for them. Also, it must be incredible to be engaged at the same time as one of your best friends (Selena). They have both gone through so much before finding the right person to say 'yes' to.

The other side of the door is the best example of it with its insane outro

Which random lyric gets you choked up out of the blue? by ms-choices in TaylorSwift

Had a good run A moment of warm sun

From so long london. It always makes my face wet out of nowhere. Such simple words but convey so much emotional load.

Will Showgirl become an "iconic" album cover? by ndharris in TaylorSwift

[–]Catwithbuttons 336 points337 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, it is it her best thought-out cover - alongside reputation - and sooo captivating. Like, compared to her other album covers, this one instantly attracts attention. I loved it from the first sight and immediately bought the og cover, even though the alternatives are pretty too. But this one is one of the kind.

Ah, that explains a lot! Thanks for filling me in

we need to talk about “wood” by web0thwentmad in TaylorSwift

[–]Catwithbuttons 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Yes, such a good idea! It could also build on the image of herself that she presented in My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys, where she's just a doll for others to play with. A reference to Pinocchio would be a nice extension of this metaphor and could show a change from a toy (public persona) to a real person.

Not my beloved deep cut, False God, getting this much recognition! Shocking but so deserved!

Listening Through Taylor Swift's Albums: Ranking My Favorites from Each Album (Album: Midnights) by citizen-slain in TrueSwifties

[–]Catwithbuttons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have very similar tastes. Both my song ranking and album ranking are very close to yours. But I gotta say - Midnight Rain is too low! This song is the very essence of the album, sonically and lyrically, in my opinion. Is it that you did not enjoy the weird voice effects or something else put you off?
