Description

Lyricist, Spokenword: Taylor Swift

Lyrics and translation

Original

The last song on this album is the title track, "The Life of a Showgirl"

It is the story of a ficitonal showgirl named Kitty

And how my character in the song goes to see her perform

And is completely inspired by her

But rather than responding with, like, fakeness

She tells me, she tells it like it is

And she kind of warns me off of this lifestyle

Because it's much more than just the glitter and the glamour

There's a lot else that comes with it

So, it's kind of an ode to show business

And the women who move through those pitfalls and obstacle courses

I thought who better to ask to be a part of this song

Than the ultimate showgirl, Sabrina Carpenter?

And thankfully, she said yes, and she's absolutely incredible on this song

One thing that I really love about the ending of it

Is that we actually ended the song with actual crowd noise

From my last Eras Tour show in Vancouver

So that always chokes me up because

It transports me right back to that actual memory

Of standing in that stage for the last time

On that tour that was so important to me

And the tour that really inspired this album, so

It's the last track of the album and a really special one to me
