I am listing my top seven tracks from Taylor Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and the seventh one took me off guard. My assessment is based on my own personal opinion.

Getting right into it, the first place has to go to “The Fate of Ophelia.” The music video called for me when I was all alone, sitting on a bus with my headphones on, minding my own business. I do not see it anywhere but at the top, one hundred percent. Now, it’s locked inside my memory. Taylor came for me, and now I can't get this beautifully lit melody out.

She sang about her future hubby, and I dreamed about how she must have felt putting each word together. She admitted she found a hundred and gave us a banger at the same time.

Taylor Swift (TS) is no longer alone in her tower. Swifties can now celebrate their English teachers— “You Belong With Me,” her high school football player, just ten years later. We finally understand that Travis Kelce (TK) belongs to her; she found the smile that lit up her whole town. TS is the cheerleader sitting on the bleachers, cheering for her baby, and he belongs with her—and I agree.

He drives her around, and I can guarantee she knows his favorite song and his dreams. TK was honing his powers and saved TS from “The Fate of Ophelia.”

“Wi$h Li$t” is second on my list; it got me dreaming about my own wish list. TS may list down what other people want on their own lists and how materialistic some of them can be, but she also lists down her own. She wants to have a couple of kids and wants the whole block looking like TK, and I don’t blame her; he is a beautiful man. She found a best friend before she found a hubby, and I support a relationship built on friendship.

The world will have to leave her alone if she asks, or they will have to deal with her American football player, best friend, and now future hubby.

Taylor has moved on from “All Too Well.” She has found more than the bare minimum of someone having her scarf in their drawer; she has found someone who does more than dance with her around the kitchen; she has found someone who is a professional cheerleader for her big heart.

TS hoping people get what they have on their own lists only shows me she has finally found the love she was writing about all along. Love her for being so resilient through all the different frogs she had to be with to finally find her “King of My Heart.”

Naturally, the third one is “Wood.” The beats at the beginning had me dancing even before I realized how spicy the lyrics got. Well, I’m happy for Taylor, and I’m assuming we all are happy for her for finding her hard rock.

You need to listen to this song. I don’t think I can get into any more details about Taylor’s experience with the magic wand. Another banger—Wood.

The next in line made me scream, “Bad Blood.”

In fourth place for my karma-loving mind was “Cancelled!” This person was not ready for this, whoever it may have been about—I say this with a wink. In my opinion, I see all her previous albums coming together in a way to create her album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” Everything she learned came together, but I also see more—more love, more honest love.

There is no silver lining in my fifth pick from the album, “Honey.” She remembers how, when others called her honey, it was not for real. But he touched her face—he changed the meaning of “Honey” by meaning it when he said it. TK reassures TS that he wants her and is completely in awe of her.

I know, I know—and I see it every time that I hear this song—that it belongs in sixth place. We all try to love love, and I agree life is a song that I’m happy will end someday. Taylor has this poetic way with her lyrics that lands right on the spot. And now I’m dancing to my own sunshine when “Opalite” plays.

The remaining list of songs took me completely off guard. “Elizabeth Taylor” at seventh. The words I got hung up on were, “Do You Think It’s Forever?” It felt like a chase that never stopped—not relaxing, just a constant running. This song felt like self-talk that understands how she fought back. It felt like she’s excited to own all her albums—all her babies, I should say. I mean, come on, she worked so hard to make them a reality. She looks up to Elizabeth Taylor, and that is very much the focus of the song. I love that she has someone to look up to and does not feel hopeless when the albums are ripped away from her.

I have listened to the whole album backward and forward a thousand times—you’ll have to take my word for it.

“Eldest Daughter”—I am the baby of the family, and to hear an eldest sibling's perspective made me cry. I want to take the burden off all the eldest siblings in this world. If I could, you bet I would.

“Father Figure.” I have led many times, and I believe most leaders will understand how the relationship between a mentor and mentee is so crucial to building confidence and self-esteem on both sides. It can be very volatile if boundaries are not respected. I believe that in any relationship, boundaries are important. At the end of the day, we all learn from our mistakes.

“Ruin the Friendship.” How do I say this? The regret I hear from TS in this track—the pain and how she has an understanding that grief is not linear, only directed to acceptance. Having no closure, only more questions. Everyone's journey with grief is very different. I hope that we all accommodate each other during and even after, because it never leaves us. You live with it forever.

“Actually Romantic”—I did not know where to put this song on my list. I don’t think that man in particular loved her. His actions are described in this song—he was envious of her, maybe even jealous. Nothing that TS describes that the man did for her sounds romantic to me. His audacity to send her funny valentines. Why would an ex send that? The toy chihuahua has me laughing and crying at the same time. I know where this is going—she’s not letting his weird actions ruin her day. I admire that about TS.

“The Life of a Showgirl” (feat. Sabrina Carpenter) didn’t make it into my top seven because there were other, better ones that I fell in love with instantly. It took me a few listens to warm up to “The Life of a Showgirl” song in particular.

The initial reviews I read were saying that the album was not good, that TS has lost her touch. It took me a few listens to warm up to the last few songs that I have listed, but overall, I like the album. But the first seven that I have mentioned are my cup of tea. This album was a hit. I do not see the point in comparing it with TS’s other albums, mainly because it sounds so unique and stands out on its own.

It feels like the end of an era with this album. I am waiting to see what TS will dive into next—other than the baked goods that can be smelled through the screen.
