Could Taylor Swift’s reign ever end?

Will she always have the life of a showgirl?

Taylor Swift has long dominated the world of music, but her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, had massive sales but mixed reviews. Could her reign ever come to an end or is she too big to fail?

Mark Savage, the BBC’s Music Correspondent, chats through the new album with us and explains how views on Taylor Swift have changed over the years.

Our BBC friend and Swiftie, Hayley Clarke, investigates some of the easter eggs on one of the album tracks (you’ll be into this if you’re a romantasy fan…)

And we hear from some Swifties - what do they think of TLOAS and is Taylor unstoppable?
