After revealing the cover art of The Life of a Showgirl, where Swift was lying in water wearing a glamorous costume, Taylor explained its symbolism, saying:"This represents the end of my night. So when I’m on tour, I have the same day every single day...And my day ends with me in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress."Swift continues to say that it represented her desire to "glamorize" the different aspects of her tour and how they felt. "The reason I wanted to have sort of like an offstage moment as the main album cover is because this album isn’t really about what happened to me on stage. It’s about what I was going through offstage. So I didn’t want to have like the lights are bright, I’m on the stage is the main album cover. It’s just this. This, to me, tells more of what the actual content, lyrically, of the album are."After the podcast episode went live, Taylor Swift released three alternate cover arts, all of which sold out on her official website. She also revealed the tracklist during the podcast.
