Overview

• The Life of a Showgirl was released Oct. 3 with “Wi$h Li$t” positioned as the eighth track.
• Lyrics explicitly include “I just want you” and “Have a couple kids,” alongside a wish to be left alone by the world.
• The song contrasts material milestones like yacht life, major awards, and a Real Madrid contract with images of home life such as a driveway basketball hoop.
• Swift told the New Heights podcast the two dollar signs in the title were an intentional flourish and said she made the album with Max Martin and Shellback while finishing the European Eras Tour.
• Coverage has linked the sentiments to Swift’s recent engagement to Travis Kelce, and he praised the album as “12 bangers” after an early listen, though the song does not name him.
