    Tay's Top 13 Poetic Lyrics from 'The Life of a Showgirl'

    This episode is a response to the nay-sayers who claim Taylor Swift lost her poetic prowess that she showed off in albums like folklore, evermore and The Tortured Poets Department.

Taylor Swift has still managed to sneak in moments of meaningful, intelligent, purposeful poetry. This episode explores the "Quill Pen" one-liners hidden in the glittery spectacle that is "The Life of a Showgirl." Listen to more "Life of a Showgirl Reaction" at TaysTop13.com
