ophelia in glitter: taylor swift's showgirl era

from gasp! the pod · host gasp! the pod

My unfiltered thoughts on the ENGAGEMENT: here!Wow. Just wow. Taylor Swift announced that her new album, TS12, will be called The Life of a Showgirl! With fans around the world rushing to find Easter Eggs in her announcement posts, one thing seems obvious (even to Tayvis stans distracted by The New Heights podcast): that Taylor Swift is embodying Ophelia on the album cover.Will her fate, or rather, the showgirl version of herself’s fate, end up just like Ophelia’s? What if Taylor is BOTH Ophelia AND Hamlet in her story? And what if these connections don’t end at Hamlet…this episode, Hailey uncovers a whole new meaning to the statement: “Taylor Swift is the modern day Shakespeare.” Need support?
