Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calarucashawk Media. Oh my God, Swift Ease.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Welcome to an emergency bonus episode of Taylor Swift Today.
I'm your host, Ali, and it is currently chex clock
one am Eastern Time, and the Life of a Showgirl
is officially out.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I couldn't sleep.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I had to stay up for this, and I've been
following all the live updates, so you didn't have to. Though.
Let's be real, I know most of you are awake
right now too, streaming like your life depends on it. First,
I need to apologize if any of this info is
rushed or if I get anything wrong. We're recording this
in real time at one am because we had to
capture this moment. We'll be back Sunday with more fan
(00:45):
reactions and deeper analysis, but right now, it's all about
the excitement of this historic night. The album dropped exactly
at midnight Eastern Time, twelve tracks of pure pop perfection.
Taylor reunited with Max Martin and Shellback for this album,
The masterminds behind We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
(01:06):
twenty two, Shake It Off, Blank Space, Don't Blame Me,
and Delicate. She literally flew back and forth to Sweden
between aristour stops because, as she says, jet lag is
a choice. Social media is exploding. One user posted okay
ten seconds in, and my whole life changed. People are
(01:27):
losing it over eldest daughter, with multiple fans saying I
fear I was correct about eldest daughter. I am ruined,
and eldest daughter has me with watery eyes. The Max
Martin and Shellback production is getting massive praise, with fans
screaming Max Martin, the virtuoso you are in all caps.
(01:48):
Taylor just posted on Instagram with a photo dump of
her in shimmery showgirl outfits.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
The caption is cryptic poetry.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Tonight, all these lives converge here, the mosaics of laughter
and cocktails of tears, where fraternal souls sing identical things.
And it's beautiful, it's rapturous, it is frightening. She ended
with I can't tell you how proud I am to
share this with you, an album that just feels so right.
A forever thank you goes out to my mentors and friends,
(02:17):
Max and Shellback for helping me paint this self portrait.
The New York Times review dropped right at midnight, and
they're calling it a confident, dazzling at times, elegant at times,
cheeky at times sensual pop explosion, and her eiras tour
Victory Lap. They're especially praising how the album examines both
(02:38):
her relationships and her fame in a deeply personal yet
relatable way. Elizabeth Taylor apparently has thumping rock vibes that
can understandably be reserved for the uber famous showgirls in
the room.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Can we talk about the chaos at Target stores? Tonight?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Select stores stayed open until one am for midnight releases.
They had four exclusive editions, It's Beautiful, It's Frightening, Its Rapturous,
and the Summertime Sprits Pink Shimmer vinyl with gold Shimmer
poem written by Taylor and never before seen photos. The
purchase limit was for per customer and people were camping
(03:16):
out for hours. The pink and pale yellow purlescent vinyl
with gold shimmers sold out on pre orders and limited
quantities were available in store only. Let me break down
this incredible track list. We've got the Fate of Ophelia,
which is getting the music video treatment in theaters and
literary Swifties pointed out that in Shakespeare's Hamlet, Ophelia drowns
(03:37):
in Act four, scene seven. Is that why Taylor kept
mentioning forty seven throughout promotion? She thanked Jason for screaming
for forty seven seconds and joke the Eiras tour was
in forty seven thousand countries. Elizabeth Taylor is track two
and Christopher Wilding, Elizabeth Taylor's son, told TMZ he views
Swift as.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
A rare, positive role model for you young girls.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Elizabeth Taylor's former assistant Tim Mendelssohn said, I think she
would have loved Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I think they could have been friends.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He called it a huge tribute to Taylor and said
he's excited for people to discover Elizabeth's activism and humanitarian work.
Father Figure, on track four interpolates George Michael's nineteen eighty
seven hit. His estate said they were delighted when Swift
requested approval and wrote, when we heard the track, we
(04:28):
had no hesitation in agreeing to this association between two
great artists, and we know George would have felt the same.
They wish Taylor's success with the album. The Sabrina Carpenter
collab on the title track is Everything. Swift called it
a first for both of them as a duet, and
fans are wondering if Carpenter will get the Lonna Delray treatment.
(04:48):
Eldest Daughter is the longest at four oh six, with
the Sabrina collab close behind at four oh one. Travis
has been gushing about this album non stop. He said
he been dancing all throughout the house while listening and
called Opaallite his favorite track. He also said Showgirl is
a good album to work out too. He described all
(05:10):
twelve tracks as bangers and said, I keep listening to
this album and I know she mentioned that it's going
to be a lot more pop beats and everything, but
it's just it's still so poetic. The theater release is
going to be insane. The official release party of A
Showgirl starts today at three pm Eastern. It's eighty nine
(05:31):
minutes with the world premiere of the Fate of Ophelia
music video, behind the scenes footage, lyric videos, and Tailor's
never before seen personal reflections. Tickets are twelve dollars because
it's her twelfth album with twelve tracks. The special pricing
at twelve dollars not thirteen, has taken on larger meeting
in her Life of a Showgirl Era AMC said you
(05:53):
can sing and dance during the screenings, but you can't
stand on seats or block aisles. They're enhancing security and
do doing bag checks all weekend. It's showing at all
five hundred forty AMC locations plus thousands more screens, including
Cinemark and Regal. The listening parties happening right now are legendary.
(06:13):
One swifty Ben Stafford decked out his apartment with orange
balloons and teal streamers, printed album art and made T shirts.
They're serving apparol sprits, cocktails and bites of a Showgirl
with orange candy and cupcakes with orange icing.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
This is a tradition for them every album drop.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Graham Norton got early access and is airing the interview
tonight in the UK at ten forty pm local time.
She's appearing alongside actors Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jody Turner
Smith and Dominall Gleeson, with Lewis Capaldi performing. Then Monday,
she's on Fallon for the seventh time with Carrie Russell
and the Format performing. Wednesday is the takeover of Seth Meyers,
(06:55):
where she's the only guest. The Spotify pop up in
New York revealed incredible lyrics. Oftentimes it doesn't feel so
glamorous to be me, and everyone's unbothered till they're not.
We're projected on billboards in Times Square, La Vegas, and
San Paulo. Other lyrics included keep it one hundred, I
(07:15):
heard you calling and you want to take a skate
on the ice inside my veins written on a napkin
under a wineglass, overflowing with pearls. Door Dash is giving
twelve percent off orange items. KitchenAid unveiled a one of
a kind glittery orange mixer. Uber is offering twelve dollars
off comfort rides with Code Showbiz because showgirls deserve extra
(07:38):
room and a flawless arrival. They're also doing show Cats
adoption events in La NYC And Nashville with charm, jewelry making,
and photo booths. Apple Music launched a dedicated Swifty radio
station just for the album release. The album is forty
one minutes total, perfect for endless replays. Taylor said she
(08:00):
wanted melodies that were so infectious that you're almost angry
at it, and lyrics that are vivid but crisp and
focused and completely intentional.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
The way she created this album is legendary.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
She recalled performing a Max Martin medley at the Stockholm
Era show, dedicating her acoustic set to songs they'd worked
on together. He knew how high the stakes would be
if we were to work together again. She said that
performance is what locked it in. New Heights shared the
coolest listening hack. If you start rewatching their Swift episode
(08:32):
at ten thirty one fifty two pm Eastern Time, you
end up streaming the album at the exact moment Swift
pulls out the album on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
That's dedication to the experience.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Fun fact, Taylor's New Heights appearance set a Guinness World
record with one point three million people simultaneously tuned in
on YouTube. The two hour podcast covered everything from their
love story to reclaiming her masters. The orange theme is everywhere.
Taylor said she chose orange because it feels like, kind
(09:05):
of energetically how my life has felt, and the album
is about what was going on behind the scenes in
my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant
and electric and vibrant. She revealed a major easter egg
every Eras show ended with her going down the elevator
lift except the last one, where she exited through an
orange door. I wanted to give a little subliminal hint
(09:27):
that I may be leaving the airas tour era, but
I was also entering a new era.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Even Caitlin Clark plugged.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The album at her press conference today, thanking the media
then adding the album plug, She's proven herself a true
swiftye more in a moment, a Vermont ice cream shop
created nine flavors inspired by Taylor's past albums to celebrate
(09:53):
Michigan State University's society and the individual the Taylor Swift
Phenomenon course, will analyze the album right away, Professor Emily
Muhitch said, we will get to apply our interdisciplinary analysis
to the album and the media reaction right away. The
study about Taylor's accent evolution is fascinating. Researchers analyzed her
(10:15):
interviews from two thousand and eight to twenty nineteen and
found her vowel pronunciation aligned with Southern dialect in Nashville,
returned to native accent in Philadelphia, and her voice took
on a significantly lower pitch in NYC. When she was
more outspoken about social issues, possibly intentional to convey her
competence to speak with authority.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Will this break her own records?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
The Tortured Poets Department had the biggest opening week of
her career and spent seventeen weeks at number one. With
the theater release exclusive variance and this level of hype,
the Life of a Showgirl could surpass everything.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Taylor has said this album won't get the daylux treatment
like Midnight's three Am edition TTPD becoming the anthology at
two Am. But she's always known to have a few
tricks up her sleeve. Could we still get surprised? It's
Taylor Swift, anything is possible. The fact that she announced
in May she successfully purchased her masters from Shamrock Capital
(11:17):
makes this album even more meaningful. It's her first completely
new album where she owns everything From day one. I'm
literally vibrating with excitement. The album artwork by Myrt and Marcus,
showing Taylor seemingly submerged while wearing a jeweled top, is
being called the most glamorous visual aesthetic of her career.
(11:38):

for three pm. Physical copies are at Target if they're
not sold out. This is history being made. Taylor Swift
