“There is no frivolous pop, Grandly Arranged Choruses or Glorious Melodies on Life of a Showgirl , Already Swift’s Twelfth album. The singer has been operating from Her Throne as the biggest pop on the planet SOMPLES ISTIRTATIONS. A disappointing record. “
“In Terms of Content, IT is of Course Mainly About Swift Herself. We read along with the life of an eclosted star who Stays in Exensive Parisian Hotels (The Priceless Plaza Athénée Is Mentioned) and Dines at Hollywood Restaurant Messo, Where ‘. WHERE’. WHERE ‘. WHERE’. WHERE ‘. WHERE’. WHERE ‘. WHERE’. WHERE BOUTH ‘. WHERE BOUTH’. WHERE BOUTH ‘. WHE BOUTH’. WHERE TETT ‘.

“Taylor Swift has bone at the top of the pop world for years. So yes, what could be bigger? Well, that’s where the life of a showgirl comes in. Anyone who thought that the end of the eras Tour was the end of herelfts. Takes herself to another level again, and she hits Exactly the right notes. “
“Remarkable: This time swift did not collaborate with her regular producer Jack Antonoff, but found max martin and shellback again. Yet this does not feel like a return to the bombastic synth-doll of 1989 or the gritty electro, the three of, three,, three of ,, three of,, theme, three,, three of the three of, three, three of the three of, three, three, three of the three of youncs.

The Guardian – Two Stars
“Most striking: there are surprisingly few real earworms. The songs are neatly made, but only a few stand out. Elizabeth taylor has a catchy chorus, wi $ h li $ t surprises with the friends, and ruinhip – in -liftship and ruinnations, and ruinnations, and ruinhip and ruinnations, and ruinnations, and ruinnations, and ruinnations, and ruinnations, and ruinnations, and ruinnations and ruinnations, and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruinnations and ruin For the funeral of a boy she was in love with – is Genuinely Moving.

Volkskrant – Four Stars
“Yet with Martin, Swift does not easily fall back on the sound of the past, on the blaring dance floor fun of, for example, Shake It Off , from album 1989 . The new songs also sound really new. The instrumentations are dry and transparent: a plonking, acoustic bass dances throughout the album, from twelve Tight songs in A Neat 40 minutes.
“Also Gratifying: Swift Follows The Remarkable Trend in Pop Music That Songs Are Allowed To Be Longer Again. A Song Like Opalite Lasts A Full Four Minutes. Swift Understands That Choruses Simply Need Time Four Four ABABAB Taylor Once, It’s Already Stuck in Your Listening Head, Thanks to the Catchy Vocal Melodies.
