Taylor Swift inaugura una nueva "era" con su nuevo álbum "The Life of a Showgirl"

En la madrugada del 3 de octubre de 2025, Taylor Swift lanzó su duodécimo álbum de estudio, "The Life of a Showgirl", marcando el inicio de una nueva era artística para la cantante.

Con este lanzamiento, Swift parece dejar atrás el tono melancólico de su anterior etapa "The Tortured Poets Department" (2024) para regresar a un sonido más vibrante, pop y cargado de histrionismo.

El álbum consta de 12 canciones grabadas durante la etapa europea de su gira "The Eras Tour", con la colaboración de los productores suecos Max Martin y Shellback, quienes ya colaboraron con ella en discos emblemáticos como "Red", "1989" y "Reputation".

Taylor Swift rendirá homenaje a George Michael

La canción "The Fate of Ophelia" fue presentada como sencillo principal y apertura del álbum, con claras referencias a la tragedia de Ofelia en Hamlet, lo que introduce un contraste entre lo glamoroso y lo introspectivo en esta nueva etapa.

La versión también incluye una interpolación del tema "Father Figure" de George Michael, lo que le da un guiño musical de peso al legado pop clásico.

The Fate of Ophelia

I heard you calling on the megaphone

Taylor Swift: Un detective privado fue arrestado por buscar a la cantante

You wanna see me all alone

As legend has it you are quite the pyro

You light the match to watch it blow

And if you'd never come for me

I might've drowned in the melancholy

I swore my loyalty to me, myself, and I

Right before you lit my sky up

All that time, I sat alone in my tower

You were just honing your powers

Now I can see it all (See it all)

Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and

Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)

Keep it one hundrеd on the land, the sea, thе sky

Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes

Don't care where the hell you been, 'cause now you're mine

It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of

The fate of Ophelia

The eldest daughter of a nobleman

Ophelia lived in fantasy

But love was a cold bed full of scorpions

The venom stole her sanity

And if you'd never come for me

I might've lingered in purgatory

You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine

Pulling me into the fire

All that time, I sat alone in my tower

You were just honing your powers

Now I can see it all (See it all)

Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and

Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)

Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky

Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes

Don't care where the hell you been, 'cause now you're mine

It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of

The fate of Ophelia

'Tis locked inside my memory

And only you posses the key

No longer drowning and deceived

All because you came for me

Locked inside my memory

And only you posses the key

No longer drowning and deceived

All because you came for me

All that time, I sat alone in my tower

You were just honing your powers

Now I can see it all (See it all)

Late one night, you dug me out of my grave and

Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia (Ophelia)

Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky

Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes

Don't care where the hell you been, 'cause now you're mine

It's 'bout to be the sleepless night you've been dreaming of

The fate of Ophelia

You saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia

Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor

Do you think it's forever?

That view of Portofino was on my mind when you called me at the Plaza Athénée

Ooh, oftentimes it doesn't feel so glamorous to be me

All the right guys promised they'd stay

Under bright lights, they withered away, but you bloom

Portofino was on my mind and I think you know why

And if your letters ever said, "Goodbye"

I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor

Tell me for real, do you think it's forever?

Been number one, but I nеver had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have (Uh)

Bе my NY when Hollywood hates me

You're only as hot as your last hit, baby

Been number one, but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have you

Hey, what could you possibly get for the girl who has everything and nothing all at once?

Babe, I would trade the Cartier for someone to trust (Just kidding)

We hit the best booth at Musso and Frank's

They say I'm bad news, I just say, "Thanks"

And you look at me like you're hypnotized

And I think you know why

And if you ever leave me high and dry

I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor

Tell me for real, do you think it's forever?

Been number one, but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have (Uh)

Be my NY when Hollywood hates me

You're only as hot as your last hit, baby

Been number one, but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have you (Uh)

Elizabeth Taylor (Oh)

Do you think it's forever? (Oh)

If I can't have you

All my white diamonds and lovers are forever

In the papers, on the screen, and in their minds

All my white diamonds and lovers are forever

Don't you ever end up anything but mine

I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor

Tell me for real, do you think it's forever?

Been number one, but I never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have- (If I can't have you)

Be my NY when Hollywood hates me

You're only as hot as your last hit, baby

Been number one, but l never had two

And I can't have fun if I can't have (If I can't have you)

All my white diamonds and lovers are forever

Elizabeth Taylor, do you think it's forever?

In the papers, on the screen, and in their minds

All my white diamonds and lovers are forever

Don't you ever end up anything but mine

Oh, oh, oh

Opalite

I had a bad habit

Of missing lovers past

My brother used to call it

"Eating out of the trash"

It's never gonna last

I thought my house was haunted

I used to live with ghosts

And all the perfect couples

Said, "When you know, you know"

And, "When you don't you don't"

And all of the foes and all of the friends (Ha, ha)

They've seen it before, they'll see it again (Ha, ha)

Life is a song, it ends when it ends

I was wrong

But my mama told me

It's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my Lord

Never made no one likе you before

You had to make your own sunshinе

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You couldn't understand it

Why you felt alone

You were in it for real

She was in her phone

And you were just a pose

And don't we try to love love? (Love love?)

We give it all we've got (Give it all we've got)

You finally left the table (Uh, uh)

And what a simple thought

You're starving 'til you're not

And all of the foes and all of the friends (Ha, ha)

Have messed up before, they'll mess up again (Ha, ha)

Life is a song, it ends when it ends

You move on

And that's when I told you

It's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my Lord

Never made no one like you before

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This is just

A storm inside a teacup

But shelter here with me, my love

Thunder like a drum

This life will beat you up, up, up, up

This is just a temporary speed bump

But failure brings you freedom

And I can bring you love, love, love, love, love

Don't you sweat it, baby

It's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Oh, so sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my Lord

Never made no one like you before (No)

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Father Figure

When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold

Pulled up to you in the Jag', turned your rags to gold

The winding road leads to the chateau

"You remind me of a younger me"

I saw potential

I'll be your father figure

I drink that brown liquor

I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger

This love is pure profit

Just step into my office

I dry your tears with my sleeve

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

I protect the family

I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain

Said, "They want to see you rise, they don't want you to reign"

I showed you all the tricks of the trade

All I ask is for your loyalty

My dear protégé

I'll be your father figure

I drink that brown liquor

I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger

This love is pure profit

Just step into my office

I dry your tears with my sleeve

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

I protect the family

My dear boy, they don't make loyalty like they used to

Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition

On foolish decisions which lead to misguided visions

That to fulfill your dreams

You had to get rid of me

I protect the family

I was your father figure

We drank that brown liquor

You made a deal with this devil, turns out my dick's bigger

You want a fight, you found it

I got the place surrounded

You'll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you're drowning

Whose portrait's on the mantle?

Who covered up your scandals?

Mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled

I was your father figure

You pulled the wrong trigger

This empire belongs to me

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

You know, our mind me of a younger me

I saw potential

Eldest Daughter

Everybody's so punk on the internet

Everyone's unbothered till they're not

Every joke's just trolling and memes

Sad as it seems, apathy is hot

Everybody's cutthroat in the comments

Every single hot take is cold as ice

When you found me, I said I was busy, that was a lie

I have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness

I've been dying just from trying to seem cool

But I'm not a bad bitch, and this isn't savage

But I'm never gonna let you down

I'm never gonna leave you out

So many traitors, smooth operators

But I'm never gonna break that vow

I'm nеver gonna leave you now

Now, now

You know, thе last time I laughed this hard was

On the trampoline in somebody's backyard

I must've been about eight or nine

That was the night

I fell off and broke my arm

Pretty soon, I learned cautious discretion

When your first crush crushes something kind

When I said I don't believe in marriage, that was a lie

Every eldest daughter

Was the first lamb to the slaughter

So we all dressed up as wolves and we looked fire

But I'm not a bad bitch, and this isn't savage

But I'm never gonna let you down

I'm never gonna leave you out

So many traitors, smooth operators

But I'm never gonna break that vow

I'm never gonna leave you now

Now, now

We lie back

A beautiful, beautiful time lapse

Ferris wheels, kisses, and lilacs

And things I said were dumb

'Cause I thought that I'd never find that beautiful, beautiful life that (Ah)

Shimmers that innocent light back

Like when we were young

Every youngest child felt

They were raised up in the wild

But now you're home

'Cause I'm not a bad bitch

And this isn't savage

And I'm never gonna let you down

I'm never gonna leave you out

So many traitors, smooth operators (Ah, ah)

But I'm never gonna break that vow (Never gonna break that vow)

I'm never gonna leave you now

Now, now

Never gonna break that vow (Ooh)

Never gonna leave you now, now

I'm never gonna leave you now

Ruin The Friendship

Glistening grass from September rain

Gray overpass full of neon names

You drive (Mm-mm), 85 (Mm-mm)

Gallatin Road and the lakeside beach

Watching the game from your brother's Jeep

Your smile (Mm-mm), miles wide

And it was not an invitation

Should've kissed you anyway

Should've kissed you anyway

And it was not convenient, no

But your girlfriend was away

Should've kissed you anyway, hey

Shiny wood floors underneath my feet

Disco ball makes everything look cheap

Have fun (Mm-mm), it's prom (Mm-mm)

Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist

Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse

And see (Mm-mm)

You looking at me

And it was not an invitation

But as thе 50 Cent song played (Song played)

Should'vе kissed you anyway (Anyway)

And it was not convenient, no (It was not, convenient)

Would've been the best mistake

Should've kissed you anyway, hey

Don't make it awkward in second period

Might piss your ex off, lately we've been good

Staying friends is safe, doesn't mean you should

Don't make it awkward in second period

Might piss your ex off, lately we've been good

Staying friends is safe, doesn't mean you should

When I left school, I lost track of you

Abigail called me with the bad news

Goodbye, and we'll never know why

It was not an invitation

But I flew home anyway

With so much left to say

It was not convenient, no

But I whispered at the grave

"Should've kissed you anyway"

Oh, and it was not an invitation (It was not, an invitation)

Should've kissed you anyway (Anyway)

Should've kissed you anyway, anyway (Anyway)

And it was not—

My advice is always ruin the friendship

Better that than regret it for all time

Should've kissed you anyway

And my advice is always answer the question

Better that than to ask it all your life

Should've kissed you anyway

Should've kissed you anyway

Actually Romantic

I heard you call me "Boring Barbie" when the coke's got you brave

High-fived my ex and then you said you're glad he ghosted me

Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face

Some people might be offended

But it's actually sweet

All the time you've spent on me

It's honestly wild

All the effort you've put in

It's actually romantic

I really gotta hand it to you, ooh

No man has ever loved me like you do

Hadn't thought of you in a long time

But you keep sending me funny valentines

And I know you think it comes off vicious

But it's precious, adorable

Like a toy Chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse

That's how much it hurts

How many times has your boyfriend said

"Why are we always talking 'bout her?"

It's actually sweet

All the time you've spent on me

It's honestly wild

All the effort you've put in

It's actually romantic

I really gotta hand it to you, ooh

No man has ever loved me like you do

You think I'm tacky, baby

Stop talking dirty to me

It sounded nasty, but it

Feels like you're flirting with me

I mind my business, God's my witness that I don't provoke it

It's kind of making me wet (Oh)

'Cause it's actually sweet

All the time you've spent on me

It's honestly lovely

All the effort you've put in

It's actually romantic

Really got to hand it to you, to you

No man has ever loved me like you do

It's actually romantic (You've just given me so much attention; la-la-la-la)

It's actually romantic

(It's so) Romantic

Wi$h Li$t

They want that yacht life, under chopper blades

They want those bright lights and Balenci shades

And a fat ass with a baby face

They want it all

They want that complex female character

They want that critical smash Palme d'Or

And an Oscar on their bathroom floor

They want it all

And they should have what they want

They deserve what they want

Hope they get what they want

I just want you, huh

Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you

We tell the world to leave us thе fuck alone, and they do, wow

Got me drеaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop

Boss up, settle down, got a wish list (Wish list)

I just want you

They want that freedom, living off the grid

They want those three dogs that they call their kids

And that good surf, no hypocrites

They want it all

They want a contract with Real Madrid

They want that spring break that was fuckin' lit

And then that video taken off the internet

They want it all

And they should have what they want

They deserve what they want

I hope they get what they want

I just want you, huh (You, you, yeah)

Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you

We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, and they do (Oh), wow

Got me dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop (Hoop)

Boss up, settle down, got a wish list (Wish list)

I made wishes on all of the stars

Please, God, bring me a nice friend who I think is hot

I thought I had it right, once, twice, but I did not

You caught me off my guard

I hope get what I want (Get what I want)

'Cause I know what I want

I just want you (Baby)

Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you (Got 'em looking like you)

We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, and they do, wow

Got me dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop

Boss up, settle down, got a wish list (Wish list)

I just want you (Ooh)

And we can have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you (You)

We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, and they do (Yeah), wow

And now you got me dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop

Boss up, settle down, got a wish list (Wish list)

I just want you

Wood

Daisy's bare naked, I was distraught

He loves me not, he loves me not

Penny's unlucky, I took him back

And then stepped on a crack

And the black cat laughed

And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious (Superstitious)

Fingers crossed until you put your hand on mine (Hand on mine)

Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck

A bad sign is all good

I ain't got to knock on wood

All of that bitching, wishing on a falling star

Never did me any good

I ain't got to knock on wood

It's you and me forever dancing in the dark (Ah)

All over me, it's understood

I ain't got to knock on wood

Forgive me, it sounds cocky

He ah-matized me and openеd my eyes

Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see

His lovе was the key that opened my thighs

Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet, mm

To know a hard rock is on the way

And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious (Superstitious)

The curse on me was broken by your magic wand (Ah)

Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck

New heights (New heights), manhood (Manhood)

I ain't got to knock on wood

(Ah) All of that bitching, wishing on a falling star

Never did me any good

I ain't got to knock on wood

(Ah) It's you and me forever dancing in the dark (Ah)

All over me, it's understood

I ain't got to knock on wood

Forgive me, it sounds cocky

He ah-matized me and opened my eyes

Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see

His love was the key that opened my thighs

Forgive me, it sounds cocky

He ah-matized me and opened my eyes

Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see

His love was the key that opened my thighs

CANCELLED!

You thought that it would be okay, at first

The situation could be saved, of course

But they'd already picked out your grave and hearse

Beware the wrath of masked crusaders

Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?

Did they catch you having far too much fun?

Come with me, when they see us, they'll run

Something wicked this way comes

Good thing I like my friends cancelled

I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal

Like my whiskey sour

And poison thorny flowers

Welcome to my underworld

Where it gets quite dark

At least you know exactly who your friends are

They're the ones with matching scars

It's easy to love you when you're popular

The optics click, everyone prospers

But one single drop, you're off the roster

"Tone-deaf and hot, let's fuckin' off her

Did you make a joke only a man could?

Were you just too smug for your own good?

Or bring a tiny violin to a knife fight?

Baby, that all ends tonight

Good thing I like my friends cancelled

I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal

Like my whiskey sour

And poison thorny flowers

(Honey) Welcome to my underworld

It'll break your heart

At least you know exactly who your friends are

They're the ones with matching scars

They stood by me

Before my exoneration

They believed I was innocent

So I'm not here for judgment, no, ooh

But if you can't be good, then just be better at it

Everyone's got bodies in the attic

Or took somebody's man, we'll take you by the hand

And soon you'll learn the art of never getting caught

It's a good thing I like my friends cancelled

You know that I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal

I like my whiskey sour

And poison thorny flowers (Ooh)

Yeah, it's a good thing I like my friends cancelled (Cancelled)

I salute you if you're much too much to handle

Like my whiskey sour (I like it)

And poison thorny flowers (I love it)

Can't you see my infamy loves company?

Now they've broken you like they've broken me

But a shattered glass is a lot more sharp

And now you know exactly who your friends are

You know who we are

We're the ones with matching scars

Honey

You can call me honey if you want because I'm the one you want

Mm-mm

When anyone called me "Sweetheart"

It was passive-aggressive at the bar

And the bitch was tellin' me to back off

'Cause her man had looked at me wrong

If anyone called me "Honey"

It was standin' in the bathroom, white teeth

They were sayin' that skirt don't fit me

And I cried the whole way home

But when you touched my face

Redefined all of those blues

When you say "Honey"

Summertime spritz, pink skies

You can call me honey if you want because I'm the one you want

Wintergreen kiss, on my

Gave it a different meaning 'cause you mean it when you talk

Honey I'm home, we could play house

We can bed down down, pick me up

Who's the baddest in the land, what's the plan?

(What's the plan?)

You could be my forever night stand

Honey

When anyone called me "Sweetheart"

It was passive-aggressive at the bar

And the bitch was tellin' me to back off

'Cause her man had looked at me wrong

If anyone called me "Honey"

It was standin' in the bathroom, white teeth

They were sayin' that skirt don't fit me

And I cried the whole way home

But when you touched my face

Redefined all of those blues

When you say

You can call me honey if you want because I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

You give it different meaning, 'cause you mean it when you talk

Sweetie it's yours, kicking in doors

Take it to the floor, give me more

Buy the paint in the color of your eyes (Of your eyes)

And graffiti my whole damn life

Honey

When anyone called me late night

He was screwin' around with my mind

Askin' "What are you wearin'?"

Too hard to remember in the morning

And when anyone called me "Lovely"

They were findin' ways not to praise me

But you say it like you're in awe of me

And you stay until the morning

Honey

When anyone called me "Sweetheart"

It was passive-aggressive at the bar

And the bitch was tellin' me to back off

'Cause her man had looked at me wrong

If anyone called me "Honey"

It was standin' in the bathroom, white teeth

They were sayin' that skirt don't fit me

And I cried the whole way home

But you can call me honey if you want because I'm the one you want

The Life of a Showgirl ft. Sabrina Carpenter

Her name was Kitty

Made her money being pretty and witty

They gave her the keys to this city

Then they said she didn't do it legitly, uh

I bought a ticket

She's dancing in her garters and fishnets

Fifty in the cast, zero missteps

Looking back, I guess it was kismet

I waited by the stage door

Packed in with the autograph

Hounds barking her name

Then glowing like the end of a cigarette

Wow, she came out

I said, "You're living my drеam"

Then she said to me

Hеy, thank you for the lovely bouquet

You're sweeter than a peach

But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never, ever gonna

Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay

You're softer than a kitten, so

You don't wanna know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never gonna wanna"

She was a menace

The baby of the family in Lenox

Her father whored around like all men did

Her mother took pills and played tennis

So she waited by the stage door

Asked the club for more to arrive

She said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life"

It's all mine

But that's not what showgirls get

They leave us for death

Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet

You're sweeter than a peach

But you don't know the life of a showgirl,babe

And you're never, ever gonna

Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay

You're softer than a kitten so

You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you're never gonna wanna

I took her pearls of wisdom

Hung them from my neck

I paid my dues with every bruise

I knew what to expect

You wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins

They ripped off me off like false lashes

And then threw me away

And all the headshots on the walls

Of the dance hall are of the bitches

Who wish I'd hurry up and die

But, I'm immortal now, baby dolls

I couldn't if I try, so I say

Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet

I'm married to the hustle

And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe

And I'll never know another

Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (And lace)

Sequins are forever and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe

Wouldn't have it any other way

(Thank you for the lovely bouquet) Have it any other

(Thank you for lovely bouquet)

And now I'm making money being pretty and witty

Thank you for the lovely bouquet

Thank you for an unforgettable night

We will see you next time

Give it up for the band

And the dancers

And of course, Sabrina

I love you, Taylor

That's our show

We love you so much

Goodnight
