Is Taylor Swift’s “Life of a Showgirl” era pure strategy—or pure vulnerability?

In this episode, I sit down with my ride-or-die Sebastian to break down Taylor’s latest album rollout, the infamous leaks, and what it all reveals about fame, marketing, and the human side of celebrity. From the genius behind her storytelling to the intimacy of her relationship with Travis Kelce, we explore how Taylor keeps reinventing the game while staying deeply connected to her audience.

We dive into:

The chaos vs. career wins paradox in creative life
Whether Taylor’s album leak was an accident—or part of her master plan
The psychology of being witnessed and why receiving praise is a fame skill
How Taylor engages directly with fans while sidestepping Hollywood pandering
Fame as modern mythology—and why we need celebrity stories to believe in ourselves

✨ Whether you’re a Swiftie, a creator, or just obsessed with the mechanics of fame, this convo will shift how you see the art and business of being visible.
