The title track, a duet with pop star Sabrina Carpenter, is a story song about someone who achieves their dream of fame. It can be brutal, but ultimately, Swift concludes, “Now I know the life of a showgirl, babe, wouldn’t have it any other way.”
The Life of a Showgirl was released at midnight on October 3, and “Father Figure,” in particular, has sparked widespread debate among fans and music journalists regarding its true subject and layered meaning.
