The Horny Showgirl is also a Tyrant
And join our Substack Live with the Fug Girls at 6pm ET!
Squawkers! I just posted my initial thoughts on Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl here. She’s happy and horny but she’s also vicious and vengeful.
That’s not all though. Because this is also a “Drinks With Gossip(s): The Life of a Showgirl” pre-chat as I’m going LIVE with Drinks With Broads, aka the Fug Girls, tonight at 6pm ET, the link is here.
We’ll leave the discussion thread below open indefinitely for paid Squawk subscribers, and we’ll dive into your questions and observations before we go live at 6pm. You’ll be able to comment and react during the livestream too, but we’d love to have your questions and discussion points beforehand so we can engage with your opinions during our conversation!
The Live is optimized for the Substack app, but if you’ve been mostly accessing The Squawk through a desktop, you will be able to view the session on your desktop browser during the session (from 6-7pm ET). You will see the link to the session when you visit The Squawk home page and will be able to interact with the session on your desktop browser.
See you at 6pm!
And again, my post on LaineyGossip can be read here – let me know what you think!
The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/oct/03/taylor-swift-the-life-of-a-showgirl-review wasn't very kind to this album but I don't get it. This is a girl in a happy place enjoying some dick while dealing with some scars with a couple of light clapback tracks. It's a good sound. Not sure why the expectation is that this has to be some kind of melodic masterpiece every time. I liked it front to back.
I share Lainey’s feelings on the title track “The Life of a Showgirl”. Unfortunately - I can’t say the same for the rest of the album which I personally found to be unlistenable. But I’m happy for all the swifties who are having a great day today.
