BREAKING NEWS: Taylor Swift Dubbed “Tone Deaf” Over Leaked Lyrics From Upcoming Album, The Life Of A Showgirl
Taylor Swift’s love for Easter eggs is alive and well, as she recently teased snippets of lyrics from her upcoming album.
The Life of a Showgirl, the pop icon’s 12th studio album, is set to release globally on October 3.
Ahead of the album release, a Spotify experience was held in New York City on Tuesday (September 30), showcasing potential lyrics from the project, but not everyone was impressed.
“Taylor really unveiling lyrics through hidden letters like we’re all in English class decoding a poem, just drop the song…” wrote one social media user.
The Spotify experience included photo ops, themed rooms hinting at the album’s concept, exclusive swag, and more, all for fans who attended the ongoing three-day pop-up.
Swifties at the event spotted the first lyric from the album, written in what appeared to be peachy-orange lipstick on a mirror.
The lyric read, “Oftentimes it doesn’t feel so glamorous to be me.”
Fans quickly shared the now-viral image on social media.
Soon after, the same message was projected on massive billboards in New York City’s Times Square, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.
While the context of the lyric and its associated track remain unclear, netizens slammed the billionaire pop star, with many accusing her of being “tone deaf” and “cosplaying the struggle” of being rich.

Taylor really said being the highest-paid popstar alive feels ‘not so glamorous’… yeah I bet flying private to your 18th mansion must be rough,” commented one displeased netizen.
In 2024, Swift was featured on the Forbes 100 list and officially declared a billionaire, largely thanks to her record-breaking Eras Tour.
The tour became the highest-grossing concert tour in history, with ticket sales surpassing $2 billion, significantly boosting the Cruel Summer singer’s net worth.
As of late 2024, Swift’s estimated net worth stood at $1.6 billion.
In light of this, one critic expressed, “Taylor Swift really cosplaying the struggle like her Eras Tour grossed less than $1k.”
“What an odd thing to say considering what most people are going through today.”

In addition, another one of her lyrics was projected on a São Paulo billboard by Spotify.
It read, “Everyone’s unbothered til they’re not.”
Taylor has always included Easter eggs since her very first album.
Eagle-eyed fans also noticed that, just like with the secret messages hidden in CD booklets using random capitalized letters in the lyrics of her 1989 album, she employed a similar trick this time around.
On Apple Music, Swift’s 2017 song Reputation featured a selection of capitalized letters within the lyrics.
The decoded message, which many believe to be a potential lyric from the new album, read, “They don’t make loyalty like they used to.”
“Ofc victim Taylor, always poor me girl hasn’t had an original thought in decades,” wrote one user.
Taylor has always been a fan of Easter eggs, and all of her past album releases featured some sort of secret message for fans to decode
The 35-year-old songstress announced the new album during an unexpected appearance on her NFL star fiancé Travis Kelce’s co-hosted podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, New Heights, on August 12.
The title track of the album will feature a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter.
Just days after the announcement, Spotify confirmed on Instagram that The Life of a Showgirl became the most pre-saved album in the history of its Countdown Page.
In the wake of the three lyrics revealed so far, social media users harshly criticized Taylor across online platforms.
One X user sarcastically wrote, “Y’all just don’t get it. It’s hard being a billionaire. She has so much money she doesn’t even know what to do with it anymore.”
Another one commented on Reddit, “It’s tone deaf. There’s a lot of us that work jobs that feel like a prison for a hell of a lot less. If you hate it so much, step back.”
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has announced that it will withhold $40.6 million in federal funding from California, citing the state’s failure to fully enforce a rule requiring commercial truck drivers to demonstrate English proficiency. According to federal law, truck drivers must be able to read road signs, respond to official inquiries, and complete paperwork in English. The DOT argues that California’s existing licensing system does not adequately ensure that all drivers meet these requirements. In response, California officials assert that their system already complies with federal standards. This penalty affects California’s ability to receive reimbursements for truck safety programs, including inspections and enforcement activities, under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program.
Newsom Defies Federal Law: California Risks $160 Million in Federal Funds Over Trucking Licenses California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing a showdown with federal authorities after the state DMV unilaterally extended the deadline for revoking 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses held by foreign nationals. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blasted the extension as illegal, warning that if California doesn’t revoke the licenses by January 5, it could lose nearly $160 million in vital federal highway funds. As Newsom continues to push policies that defy federal laws, Californians may soon pay the price, with federal funds at risk and public safety concerns growing. This is just another example of Newsom’s reckless governance putting the state in jeopardy.

President Trump’s proposal to revoke green cards and visas of Hamas supporters directly targets foreign nationals who fund or promote terrorist activities against the United States and its allies. Allowing such individuals to remain in the country poses a serious threat to national security, public safety, and American families. Deporting them reinforces that the U.S. will not tolerate support for violent extremist organizations on its soil. Do you support this?
