Taylor Swift’s ‘Life of a Showgirl’ Lyrics, Easter Eggs Decoded | E! News

It’s showgirl time. Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, is out now. And it wouldn’t be release day without a slew of Easter eggs to decode. Let’s dive into all the lyrics that are sending Swifties hunting for clues today. Track one, The Fate of Ailia, kicks off the album, referencing the character from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. According to the song’s lyrics, Taylor might have drowned in the melancholy if she hadn’t been saved by her true love. Taylor sings, “I heard you calling on the megaphone, You Want to See Me All Alone.” The lyrics appear to be a nod to Taylor’s fiance, Travis Kelce, calling Taylor out on his New Heights podcast for not meeting him at her era tour, which is how their romance began. Now, Taylor’s fiance is even in on her Easter egg game, teasing the fate of Oilia lyrics on Instagram back in July. Captioning pics with Taylor, “Had some adventures this off season, kept at 100. As the lyrics go, “You dug me out of my grave and saved my heart from the fate of Oilia. Keep it 100.” On track two, Taylor gives a nod to another famous showgirl, the late Elizabeth Taylor. In the lyrics, Taylor drawing parallels between her and Elizabeth. Like Taylor today, Elizabeth often made headlines for everything from her love life to her dazzling outfits. But as Taylor notes in her song, oftentimes it doesn’t feel so glamorous to be me. Next up, actually romantic, which isn’t about a romance, but rather an unnamed person who has spent a lot of time talking about Taylor. She sings, “High-5, my ex and then you said you’re glad he ghosted me. Wrote me a song saying, “It makes you sick to see my face.” Some people might be offended, but it’s actually sweet. Many fans on social media believe the lyric was inspired by Charlie XCX, who opened for Taylor on her reputation tour and is friends with Taylor’s ex, Maddie Healey. But while fans have speculated that Taylor and Charlie have thrown shade at each other before, Taylor seemed to put those rumors to rest back in August. Ean News has reached out to reps for comment on the speculation and has not yet heard back. Track eight is Wish List on the very top of Taylor’s Aorever with Travis. She sings, “I just want you. Have a couple kids. Got the whole block looking like you.” For her final act, Taylor teams up with friend Sabrina Carpenter with seasoned showgirl Taylor giving the rising superstar some advice. And the lyrics paint a picture. She said, “I’d sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life. That’s all mine, but that’s not what shows get. They leave us for dead.” To keep up with all things Taylor, stay updated on eonline.com. [Music]
