For the hotly anticipated album, the 35-year-old artist reunited with Swedish hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback, and their influence is clear in the driving beats and catchy hooks.
The megastar described the album as a “self-portrait” and thanked Martin and Shellback, adding: “If you thought the big show was wild, perhaps you should come and take a look behind the curtain.”
“Showgirl” is the most pre-saved album ever on the Spotify streaming platform, breaking the record set last year by none other than Swift’s last album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
“I just want you, have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you... Got me dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop,“ she sings on the dreamy “Wish List.”
“And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe / Wouldn’t have it any other way,“ she sings.
‘Only as hot as your last hit’
Ahead of release, Swift said the new album “comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life.”
Another one-liner from that track: “You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby.”
Whose head is on the chopping block? It could be Scooter Braun, the music industry heavyweight whose company bought her previous label, which gave him a majority stake in the master recordings of her first six albums.
“You want a fight, you found it / I’ve got the place surrounded / You’ll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you’re drowning.”
Fans will be combing through the lyrics and liner notes for more “Easter eggs” -- coded words and phrases that could reveal things about Swift’s life or future projects.
Aside from the “Ophelia” video, the weekend screenings will also feature behind-the-scenes footage, and so-called “lyric videos” -- when a song’s lyrics are displayed onscreen.
