Shines on the big screen and back to pop
In fact, its big screen premiere grossed $15.8 million on its first day.
This Monday, Billboard, the website specialized in box office revenues, detailed that the film has reached 46 million dollars worldwide.
With ‘The Life of a Showgirl’, Taylor Swift moved away from the melancholic introspection of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ (2024) and the dark, reflective sounds that had marked her latest productions.
Instead, he returns to the more classic pop bases that marked his early stages, thanks in part to the return of producers Max Martin and Shellback, with whom he worked on tracks like ‘Blank Space’ and ‘Shake It Off’.
