Is there really "1989 production and folklore level storytelling" on The Life of a Showgirl album?
I think there definitely is! I've heard people say "Taylor lied," but I disagree.
For the production that's similar to 1989, I would point to Elizabeth Taylor, Opalite, and Honey.
For the storytelling songwriting, I would call out Father Figure, Ruin The Friendship, and the title track.
What do you think? Maybe I just love this album too much to be objective.
