The internet’s verdict on Taylor Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl, is that the sound falls short of the aesthetic it promises to deliver in the visuals. The main critique of netizens is that it gave the impression of a burlesque theme and the composition didn’t match. To them, The absence of the orchestra was felt and her usual lyricism that attracted her fanbase was lacking.
Since then, many burlesque and jazz performers have taken to social media to share their interpretations of what it should’ve sounded like to match the aesthetic. Cyberjazz artist @Solenevelvet may have annoyed a few Swifties by saying that Taylor is “wasting the showgirl concept”.
