Taylor Swift admits making The Life of a Showgirl helped with the exhaustion of The Eras Tour

October 4, 2025 – Radio 854 Music News:

Taylor Swift has revealed that creating her new album The Life of a Showgirl gave her the energy to push through the overwhelming exhaustion of her record-breaking Eras Tour.

In recent interviews, Swift admitted that while the physically demanding nature of performing 149 shows across five continents left her “so tired,” the process of making music kept her motivated and excited.

“I was so physically exhausted from the shows, but being mentally and emotionally stimulated by making this music got me to the point where I was so excited to step back onstage because I knew there was this secret project I was working on,” Swift explained.

A Creative Escape During the Tour

Between tour stops in Europe, Swift spent time in Stockholm working with longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback. Writing and recording during short breaks became a source of inspiration and balance, turning exhaustion into creativity.

Unlike her longer albums of recent years, The Life of a Showgirl features just 12 songs — a deliberate choice to keep the project focused and tight. Swift says the album reflects the highs and lows of life in the spotlight, from the thrill of performance to the hidden struggles behind the curtain.

No Immediate Tour Plans

Although fans may be eager to see the new songs live, Swift has already made clear that she has no immediate plans to tour Showgirl. After the massive undertaking of The Eras Tour, she confessed: “I am so tired. If I go back on tour, I want to do it really well again.”

For now, the album itself stands as a glimpse into Swift’s world at a time when she was balancing fame, fatigue, and a need for artistic expression.
