Please enjoy this gift from me to you <3Taylor Swift’s 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, was released last week, and to the world’s surprise, it did not impress. But is Taylor really losing her craft? Is she becoming MAGA-fied? Has her man replaced her brain with a football? Or is there more to the story?This episode, Hailey inspects this album through a different lens: an ironic one. Is it possible that this “new” Taylor is simply reflecting back on society what it wants from her? (that 1950s shit.) Is Taylor performing a play within a play–an ironic, 21st century rendition of the play within Hamlet? Are we actually seeing the life behind the Showgirl…or is she still on stage: performing for us, the heckling crowd?Subscribe on Youtube: here!My Patreon: here!Support: here!

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?

It’s Pride, and what does that mean? It means the bisexuals and lesbians are fighting. Again. Last week, almost as if TRYING to increase the tensions, Fletcher, the famously sapphic singer, “came out” as having a boyfriend by dropping her song, "Boy"–much to the aghast of fans and sapphics alike.

Taylor Swift released “Clara Bow” as the final song on her latest album’s anthology, The Tortured Poet’s Department. From a brief google search, you can learn that Clara Bow was a Hollywood megastar, known as the original “it girl” during the champagne-drenched golden era of the 1920s. But, Clara Bow was also a bisexual icon… that part is often erased by the history books. Is this the larger reason as to why Taylor uses Clara as inspiration? Does Taylor see herself as a Clara Bow reincarnated? Hailey digs into the life, career, & queerness of Clara Bow, and highlights the eerily similar connections between the modern it girl's (Taylor Swift) art and life to the original it girl's (Clara Bow).Join my Patreon: HERE!Buy my merch: HERE!
