Oct 2, 2025With her twelfth studio album, the musician shoots into a fresh echelon of superstardom — and hits all her marks.

Oct 7, 2025Overall, Swift’s writing holds up. The bridge of “Eldest Daughter” is a cinematic reverie of youthful indiscretions and natural imagery. .... Taylor Swift can capture the zeitgeist because she understands the concept of one: a battle between tension and freedom, and the knowledge that conflict is necessary to sustain the things we want.

Oct 2, 2025The Life of a Showgirl might be one of her most uneven records, but she’s as compelling as she’s ever been – the showgirl, the ringmaster and the circus all in one.

Oct 2, 2025Built around pianos and acoustic guitars, with lots of strings and harmonious backing vocals, it feels sleek but self-contained, akin to a Carole King album glossed up for modern listeners.

Oct 6, 2025We may have seen Taylor on far better songwriting form than with ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’, but perhaps now, more than ever, she is making music for herself over anyone else.

Oct 3, 2025‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ has its moments, but lacks the consistency of Taylor’s recent work.

Oct 2, 2025In fairness, Wood is one clanging misstep on an album that isn’t terrible: it’s just nowhere near as good as it should be given Swift’s talents, and it leaves you wondering why.
