"Happy Taylor Swiftmas to all who celebrate. The Life of a Showgirl release day is finally here, and fans everywhere are marking the occasion with listening parties, themed cocktails, and Reddit deep-dives about whether "Actually Romantic" is secretly a Charli XCX diss track.

"Enter: the orange cat-eye manicure. With its magnetic glow and shifting dimension, it's got the same sort of main character energy as Swift herself.

Whether or not that's the intention, it makes for one hell of a manicure."
