If you like these tracks from 'The Life of a Showgirl,' try these Taylor Swift songs next

"On the 12-track album, which dropped Friday to mixed critical reception, Swift is uncharacteristically risqué and, for possibly the first time, indulges her inner theater kid without reservation. In that sense, much of the pop record is daringly new. Still, on each track are sonic echoes from the 14-time Grammy winner's decades-spanning discography - from the verve of "Reputation" to the romantic whimsy of "Lover.""

""The Fate of Ophelia" "Showgirl's" opening track has a sultry groove and low pulse that could easily be the soundtrack to a flirty nightcap or the series finale of a dark comedy. Find the same alluring melody with an extra dash of spice in "I Can See You," a vault track from 2023's "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)." And for bonus points, head to the music video for a dose of the Swift-signature theatricality dripping from "The Life of a Showgirl.""

The Life of a Showgirl is Taylor Swift's 12th studio album, a 12-track pop record that embraces theatricality and risqué themes. Swift indulges her inner theater kid and experiments with sultry grooves, low pulses, and orchestrated choruses. Many tracks recall earlier eras, blending elements from Reputation-era verve to Lover's romantic whimsy while introducing new, daring textures. Specific songs pair with vault material or past hits by sound and theme, such as the alluring melody link between "The Fate of Ophelia" and "I Can See You" and the hymnal choral quality shared by "Elizabeth Taylor" and "Don't Blame Me." Fan replayability remains high despite mixed critical reception.
