On Aug. 12, Taylor Swift announced her new album, The Life Of A Showgirl — and to say fans are losing it would be an understatement. Almost immediately after it was announced, via a clip from an upcoming episode of the New Heights podcast, fans began speculating about the album’s meaning. And not only that, they’re already coming in hot with The Life Of A Showgirl memes.
ICYMI, Swifties have been waiting for a new project for some time — pretty much since the moment The Tortured Poet’s Department hype died down. And after weeks of speculation, the official Taylor Nation account teased a “new era” on Aug. 11. Immediately following that, the New Heights podcast (co-hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce, go Birds) also teased a new guest for their Aug. 13 episode, which was revealed in an Aug. 12 announcement to be Swift herself.
Also in the announcement, Swift revealed that she would be dropping her new album, titled The Life Of A Showgirl — and that’s when the Swifties went wild on social media. Between predictions for who would be featured on the album to discussions about what it’s about and when it will even come out, fans also started dropping some hilarious The Life Of A Showgirl memes across social media platforms.
These The Life Of A Showgirl memes are pop-culture gold
You don’t need to be a Swiftie to appreciate a good meme. The format is pretty simple: Fans are taking a (somewhat unhinged) pop-culture moment, featuring a(n unhinged) diva, and pairing it with the words “The Life Of A Showgirl.” Hey, it’s simple, but effective — and I’ve been giggling at them all morning.
OFC, there were some of my fellow Drag Race superfans getting in on the fun.
There are so many pop-culture icon featured in the memes. And I love it.
Keep ’em coming, Swifties.
