"From Mexico City to Manila, the United Kingdom to the United States, Taylor Swift fans hooted, sobbed happy tears and danced their way through the pop star's latest album release, The Life of a Showgirl. Swift's 12th studio offering dropped Friday, and her Swifties were more than ready for it. Many were dripping in the color orange to usher in her latest era at gatherings around the world."
"Jose Maria Bastida, a writer, rocked an orange sequin tuxedo jacket at a watch party in a Mexico City restaurant serving Swift-themed cocktails, including a tequila heavy Ophelia's Juice and a liquored up Showgirl Slushy. I feel like it's super experimental, he said of the album, because it's supposed to bring a lot of new stuff and we haven't seen that more sexy side of Taylor Swift."
"In theaters, Swift is schooling AMC on how to treat her fans. The theater chain has granted special permission for moviegoers to sing and dance their way through screenings of The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, in select theaters for the weekend only. Added bonus: No trailers beforehand. Fiona Cela, 11, in London woke up at 4:30 a.m. to listen to the album. She then headed out with her mother to the studios of Global Radio, hoping for a glimpse of Swift as she gave an interview there."
Fans across cities including Mexico City, Manila, the United Kingdom and the United States celebrated the release of Taylor Swift's 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl. Many attendees wore orange and gathered at themed release parties, watch parties and licensed theater screenings to experience the new dozen tracks together. Venues included clubs like Fizz in Walnut Creek, the drag club Oasis in San Francisco, AMC Theatres and Alamo Drafthouse locations across the Bay Area. Some fans queued overnight at retailers to buy vinyl and CDs, while others rented hotel rooms or traveled overnight to attend events.
