What does ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ mean?
Swift touched on how she got the inspiration for this album on the “New Heights” podcast, saying the theme of the album is everything that happened behind the Eras Tour curtain. The artwork represents the end of her night.
“My day ends with me in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress,” Swift told Jason Kelce during the podcast. “I wanted to glamorize all the different aspects of how (the Eras Tour) felt.”
