Everyone’s favorite pop queen, Taylor Swift, is shaking the world once again with a new album, The Life of a Showgirl, releasing October 3. After The Tortured Poets Department release in 2024, fans have been left waiting for another hit. This latest album brings a new era full of glam, self-confidence, and plenty of energy. In honor of this sparkling current album release, we’re showcasing our Life of a Showgirl Cocktail that’s sweet, punchy, and balanced like Taylor. The Midori contributes to her bright spirit while additions of blue curaçao, coconut rum, and fruit juices add the special zing of this era. Talk about an embodiment of all that our favorite pop star represents!
What Can You Look Forward to in The Life of a Showgirl by Taylor Swift?
While Taylor has not released a single from her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, we still have hints at what is to come. Her football player fiancé, Travis Kelce, let fans know that he believes Fate of Ophelia, the introduction track, is the best on the album. But, outside of Travis’ inside scoop, we also know that there is a George Michael interpolation on her track Father Figure, an obvious tribute to Michael’s hit song.
Plus, with producer and songwriter Max Martin all over the album, it’s safe to say this album returns to her pop roots. Martin worked with Taylor on her previous tracks 22 and Blank Space. His history of writing for Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, and The Weeknd leads us to believe there’s more than one banger coming on The Life of a Showgirl. Not to mention, it will be interesting to see what Taylor produces without Jack Antonoff on board after so many releases with him.
