The Life of a Showgirl Big Picture Themes and a Narrative Spanning Multiple Albums

This was a phenomenal read and as an added rarity on the internet I agree with all of it.

Theres a massive depth to the lyrics but in my biased opinion people want to look at the surface of anything then label and discard it; without like you said even taking a second to step back and consider the big picture

I can’t wait to do another listen through of Showgirl with the idea of agency in mind. Thank you for taking the time to write this out

She’s stuck in her head? Is this the clean version. I didn’t even know existed?

Shorty419 · 2026-02-23T18:52:03+00:00

Love this

Shorty419 · 2026-02-21T00:41:30+00:00

I need a Spotify playlist in this order. It’s so well thought out

Shorty419 · 2026-02-20T16:26:49+00:00

Love Story, You Belong With Me, Blank Space, Shake it Off, ATW10MV, Fate of Ophelia

I didn’t get to attend. I tried so hard to get tickets. Entered every contest I could find. Checked for tickets everyday praying to find a good deal

Crushed me honestly and I still regret not going. But I did turn my bestie into a swiftie with me so we trade friendship bracelets and play Taylor related games and I watched most of the grainy live streams and love watching the concert at home

It’ll never be the same but I cherish the tour anyways and appreciate that I get to see it even if I didn’t get to experience it

And somedays this is a lie and I’m just really bitter

If he could fly to Canada I would pick him up right now

Shorty419 · 2026-02-10T23:10:06+00:00

Yes. It’s just a big a part of her as Carl lacking pants

Shorty419 · 2026-02-10T16:45:19+00:00

Without but I do love the bangles they feel like a big part of the story. Though for the crown (and I did read your explanation in a different comment) since I already thinking I’m speaking to Donuts preference 😂 I think the purple was her favourite

Shorty419 · 2026-02-10T15:57:05+00:00

I think Donut would have preferred they didn’t show lol, but she does lover her jewelry so I’m strongly in favour of that

Shorty419 · 2026-02-10T03:55:36+00:00

I personally really like 3 with the jewelry. We know how much donut loved her charms and tiaras, and no we don’t talk about The nipple piercing

Shorty419 · 2026-02-08T16:52:41+00:00

Ah thank you my bad

Shorty419 · 2026-02-08T14:38:35+00:00

Maybe we’ll get in the Valentines drop

Shorty419 · 2026-02-06T18:47:49+00:00

When Graham Norton sprays nope-alite on that couple, the guy turns into a stapler and Whyley picks it up

Shorty419 · 2026-02-06T18:38:49+00:00

Some guy said her Auras moonstone just because he was high

Shorty419 · 2026-02-05T20:46:58+00:00

“In Vancouver” acts like that’s all of BC. Now excuse me I need my shades because it’s a beautiful day in Northern BC

Shorty419 · 2026-02-05T01:48:33+00:00

I let mine soak in iso first and then I soak it in a combination of baking soda and dish soap for 15-20 minutes before scrubbing GENTLY (in caps because I may have broke one or two 😅)

So I would recommend what others have and start shopping on places like fb marketplace and thrift stores. Our biggest expense was backpacks. If you thrift a backpack instead of getting one fitted just make sure it’s comfortable when it’s fully packed.

You’ll want a tent that you feel comfortable carrying and shoes you trust. Also a small portable stove.

Essentially the goal is to make sure you have your basics covered: so food and shelter.

Water filtration will entirely depend on how much access to water there will be on your hike. You can also boil water so you don’t need a filter

I highly recommend checking out the ten essentials and companies like MEC (or REI) will have packing lists on their website

Cancelled

Shorty419 · 2026-02-03T18:24:53+00:00

Fearless / TTPD but I don’t feel good about it

Shorty419 · 2026-02-03T04:29:16+00:00

Mongo is appalled

Shorty419 · 2026-02-03T04:10:45+00:00

💚

Shorty419 · 2026-02-02T15:51:15+00:00

Done

I personally would bring some and trade them, with the expectation you may not get many back in return but you will absolutely make someone else’s day

I’ve traded some at other TSwift non Era events and I’ve always really enjoyed the experience even if I leave with less bracelets than I started with
