Taylor Swift’s “The Life Of A Showgirl” Sparks Outrage—Is This Pop Princess Finally Out of Tune with Her Fans?

Added on October 6, 2025 inMusic News Cards

Is Taylor Swift’s latest escapade a clever dance with AI or a cosmic misstep under today’s Scorpio sun — where secrecy, intensity, and the unexpected collide? Picture this: Taylor, who once publicly backed Kamala Harris after a bizarre AI-created image made it look like she was on Team Trump, now finds herself entwined in another digital labyrinth. Her newest album rollout included cryptic promo billboards in 12 cities, each sporting an orange door and QR codes leading to clearly AI-generated videos. Fans cracked the code—literally—spelling out “You must remember everything but mostly this the crowd is your king.” Intriguing, right? Yet, amidst the mystery, a backlash brewed with Swifties voicing frustration about her stance on AI, questioning just how genuine this high-tech puzzle really is. Is this another pivot in Taylor’s saga of embracing and battling technology, or just a marketing gimmick wrapped in controversy? Let’s dive in and unravel this curious chapter. LEARN MORE.

If you need reminding, Taylor decided to publicly endorse Kamala Harris in the presidential election after fake images of her endorsing Donald Trump began to circulate online, with Taylor saying on Instagram at the time: “Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation.”

After the album’s release, fans were excited to discover secret TLOAS  promo billboards hidden in 12 different cities across the globe. Each one showed an orange door with a QR code that led to a video exclusive to each country, and visibly AI-generated. Here’s London’s as an example.

Letters of the alphabet were hidden in each of the videos, and fans eventually worked out that they spelled: “You must remember everything but mostly this the crowd is your king.”

These Easter egg videos were promoted on X by YouTube, and were originally shared to Taylor’s YouTube page, but appear to have since been deleted — which may be due to the backlash they received. 

Responding to the videos, one disappointed Swiftie shared a screenshot of this post and simply asked: “where are you 🙁 #SwiftiesAgainstAI,” to which another user replied: “she ‘fights’ for causes when she is the victim. she always did this and this is just one more example. she was anti ai because someone made a video of her. she is a feminist when people are misogynistic towards her. and then she calls women bitches in her music with ai videos.”

This tweet has been liked more than 137,000 times since it was posted on Sunday. 

Somebody else agreed: “It’s white feminism. All the activism begins and ends with situations about her and herself only.”

It’s worth noting that while the videos were shared to Taylor’s official account, it’s not known how personally involved she was with this promo gimmick.
