Description

“The Life of a Showgirl” may have given us one of Taylor’s most divisive tracks ever…and it’s a track 5, to boot. ‘Eldest Daughter’ has a lot of things going on, but one thing we can all agree on is that Taylor is attempting to be vulnerable on this song. She spends the track exploring themes of childhood-rooted walls, personal insecurities, and promises for the future. Because your hosts do their best work when there is a mystery to be solved, Olivia & Dani decided to place this song in the ‘Mental Cages’ miniseries to analyze it further! Hop into this episode to see if you can join us in making sense of this emotional and misunderstood tune.
