Taylor Swift has always been a showgirl: the sequins, the chaos, the sheer commitment to keeping the curtain up even when it should probably come down. This week on Evolution of a Snake we’re counting down the moments that prove it, from chipped teeth on the Red Tour, ripped heels on the Eras stage, and powering through with a bloody hand, to the cursed Super Saturday Night and F1 concerts (cancel her more often, she’s never been cuntier), the Nicki Minaj VMA olive branch, the girl squad hard launch, the NYC stoop as runway era, and those early shows where she sang with the confidence of Barbra Streisand while sounding like… not that.

The Secret Soundtrack to Taylor’s SHOWGIRL Era 🤫 *PREDICTIONS*

Taylor Swift once invited fans into her actual homes to hear her albums before release — cookies baked by Taylor, Polaroids with her cats, holding her GRAMMYs. Secret Sessions were peak Swiftie lore. But after the chaos of Lover — leaks, drama, clogged toilets, and unhinged fan behavior — the sessions disappeared for good. In this episode, we revisit the rise and fall of Secret Sessions, from Tumblr-era stalking to the insanity of the Lover house party, and explain why The Life of a Showgirl will never get them. Taylor’s fame, paranoia, and the scale of her stardom in 2025 make Secret Sessions literally impossible.

What happens when Taylor Swift trades in the bow gowns and crop tops for chokers, combat boots, and a peroxide bob? You get Bleachella—the messy, chaotic, and unforgettable era where Taylor was less America’s sweetheart and more… the original showgirl. From Anna Wintour’s makeover experiment to Coachella antics, Calvin drama, Hiddleswift PDA, and a Met Gala look that had the fashion world divided, we chart the rise and spectacular crash of Taylor’s bleached-out reinvention. Was it camp? Was it cringe? Or was it simply Taylor’s most showgirl moment yet?
