www.broadwayworld.com: Taylor Swift’s new album The Life of a Showgirl dropped on October 3rd, and it includes plenty of references—some explicit and some ambiguous—to real showgirls throughout history. Many of these women have a Broadway past worth exploring that adds new context to Swift’s songs.

Reading about the Broadway showgirls being part of Taylor Swift’s new album was actually pretty interesting. I’m not really a Taylor Swift listener, but I think it’s cool that she’s pulling inspiration from theater and classic showgirl culture. The mix of pop music with Broadway-style storytelling and visuals sounds like something really different from what most artists are doing. I like that she’s highlighting performers who usually stay behind the scenes or in ensemble roles because that kind of recognition doesn’t happen often in mainstream music. It also makes me wonder what the songs will sound like if she’s leaning into that big stage energy instead of her usual style. Even though I probably won’t listen to the album, I like that she’s drawing attention to the world of theater in a way that might get new audiences interested in it.
