Friday, October 3rd, Taylor Swift dropped her brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl. Swifties all over the globe streamed TS12, making it the third most-streamed album in one day.

The Life of a Showgirl consists of twelve tracks.

The Fate of Ophelia
Elizabeth Taylor
Opilite
Father Figure
Eldest Daughter
Ruin the Friendship
Actually Romantic
Wi$h Li$t
Wood
CANCELLED!
Honey
The Life of a Showgirl (Ft. Sabrina Carpenter)

After my initial listen, three songs stood out. My top three favorites were The Life of a Showgirl (ft. Sabrina Carpenter), coming in at number three. Actually Romantic, in the number two spot. And in the number one spot was Opalite. An honorable mention is Ruin the Friendship.

Overall, I would give this album a 13/10.
