New Heights
Fans have been anticipating the drop of this album since August when Taylor went on her now fiancé Travis Kelce‘s podcast ‘New Heights’ — and within minutes of the drop, Swifties were already dissecting the lyrics.
“The Fate of Ophelia” kicking off the album with a shoutout to her soon-to-be hubby saying “I heard you calling on the megaphone. Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes. Don’t care where the hell you been, ’cause now you’re mine” — lyrics fans had immediately singled out.
Although many members of the Taylor tribe had expected her to take a dig at ex-bestie Blake Lively with “Ruin the Friendship,” fans note that it seems like more of a guy best friend troupe.
As we previously reported … Tay Tay is tipping her hat to the late, great George Michael with a track called “Father Figure” — and the icon’s former partner told us George would’ve totally approved of it.
Kenny Goss — George’s partner of 13 years — tells TMZ George would be proud of the tribute, which isn’t a straight sample, but an interpolation … meaning you’ll hear the melody of his ’87 classic woven into Taylor’s track … and boy are fans loving it.
Beneath the sequins and smiles, “The Life of a Showgirl” pulls back the curtain on the hustle, heartbreak, and high kicks it takes to keep the show going … and if anyone can do it, it’s none other than the showgirl herself — Taylor Swift.
