Imagining Taylor Swift's Showgirl Vegas Residency
Added 2025-10-16 14:54:49 +0000 UTCWhat if Taylor Swift packed up her typewriter and took over the Vegas strip? In this episode, we design the ultimate Taylor Swift residency: equal parts camp, catharsis, and fringe. We talk setlist, stage design, lighting, costuming and how the theme of 'showgirl' can expand her discography in SO many directions.

Madeline's concept makes me want a Taylor jukebox musical soooo bad

2025-10-19 04:32:14 +0000 UTCI thought this sounded like a dumb idea for a video and I couldn’t be more wrong. THIS IS A MASTERPIECE! You guys put so much thought and effort into this!! I can’t stop thinking about it!!!

2025-10-18 02:46:20 +0000 UTCHey Snakes!! I just thought if anyone was interested in reading my showgirl review I did for my Uni newspaper it’s here… https://epigram.org.uk/the-life-of-a-showgirl-was-dest/ honestly seeing the onslaught of this album has been nothing but exhausting and wanted to understand just WHY! 🐍🫡

2025-10-17 23:24:58 +0000 UTCEOAS ©️ no seriously 🤔 that’s IP to grow and protect as they tour more — some online tools to start 🙂↕️ It’s so offensive that ppl getting ripped off or harassed by AI infringement and altered images wolves 🐺🐺!

2025-10-17 12:38:57 +0000 UTCAlso, I think a cool evil antagonist would be this like huge dark shadowy figure that looms around stage and grows in size and shape to what Tay is dealing with in the production journey. Like the amalgamation idea - this shadowy figure becomes the shape of all these different foes in her life. It would be so SLAYYYYY! and she wouldn't have to nail down one look for the bad guy. Love this thought experiment! Thanks for the inspo ✨️💕

2025-10-17 06:31:53 +0000 UTCThis is niche but you should rank all the tour pianos - I wasn’t aware she did this but now I’m curious 😊

2025-10-17 02:48:41 +0000 UTCI’ve been wanting to suggest an episode idea just like this for a while except for your dream Taylor super bowl performance. it can’t go over 15 minutes and you have to slip in her biggest hits. Walk us through from start to finish. the theme, the set list, the mashups/remixes, the outfits, the choreo.. I’d love to hear your visions!!

2025-10-16 20:52:52 +0000 UTCWait I thought patreon was add free? Am I wrong or did you not mean to leave in the seat geek add?
Jessica
2025-10-16 20:28:54 +0000 UTCEureka💡moment 🤔: Taylor is unique because she rolled all 3 icons' success into (1) Shania's cross genre music (2) Joni's critical acclaim, Red, Everlore (3) Dolly's multimedia (movies, music) persona, popular + rich. Try come for her job / success! And, don't think of her as a weak singer -- She's Songwriter-Singer, or A Poet who sings -- Emily Dickinson and Elizabeth Browning didn't sing! 🤣 ok, Patti Smith does, so Patti tribute episode too please!
Terry B
2025-10-16 20:06:57 +0000 UTCI want this now!!! Both!!! Such great creative concepts! I love it when you do this imaginary concept type videos 🧡🧡🧡🧡 mouth kissy 😘

2025-10-16 19:57:54 +0000 UTCI fear Madeline may be in the wrong industry (no offense, Zack, your cooking on the TTPD visuals was unmatched). Zombie Bejewelled is majorly giving Coraline and now I'm desperate for it.
Emma Lawrence
2025-10-16 19:51:15 +0000 UTC🙂↕️ wish she's more chill like Dolly... must've been sooo toxic back in 60s... country showgirl O.G. godmother; how did she shake it off 🤔? She married high-school 💕 50+ yrs stable relationship Taylor never had though...🤔 OH 🤩 Zach: is it relevant to have TAYMOTHERS TRIBUTE episodes 🫡 folk-country-pop icons Joni, Dolly, Shania?! Madeline: messy 🥾 🦎👸 reports 📋 please~

2025-10-16 19:32:32 +0000 UTCNormally I scroll right past the meth math, but a TikTok on my FYP showed a mysterious sphere outside the window before the “Fate of Ophelia” bathtub scene… and now I’m spiraling. I WANT TO BELIEVE!!

2025-10-16 17:44:03 +0000 UTCZach ima let you finish but Madeline had the gaggiest concept of all time
Erin O
2025-10-16 17:36:58 +0000 UTCOk… I was thinking. Maybe Debut could fit in like a Grande Ole Opry moment. There’s something kind of showgirl in a classic Dolly kind of way about a young girl going to Nashville, doing her hair up real big beauty queen style, and singing Tear Drops on My Guitar in THE dress. I imagine this as like a “flashback” almost toward the end of the show before a big performance of… Elizabeth Taylor because of the tears connection of course. I see parallels of her getting ready (testing her mic, tuning her guitar, last minute touch ups to hair, etc.). The life of a showgirl has always been there, but she’s just moved to bigger and bigger stages. And I imagine her repeating “don’t you ever end up anything buy mine” as she enchants the crowd. Curtains. 💁🏻♂️

Josh Bennett
2025-10-16 17:15:55 +0000 UTCAmazing, you two!! We need some red rose petal type confetti to end the show with just a couple bars of "Life of a Showgirl" (because we certainly don't need the whole song). If Blink 182 can spew sperm confetti at their shows, we can absolutely get rose petal-looking confetti exploding in time with "Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet".
Brooke Cordova
2025-10-16 17:09:55 +0000 UTCI need to go to Madeline’s show immediately!!! So cunt.

Britanii Heskett
2025-10-16 16:37:21 +0000 UTCBrilliant Genius Beyond Love This. In my imagination she is at the Sphere just for how insane Down Bad and My Tears Ricochet visuals. Opalite even... 🤍💙❤️

2025-10-16 16:28:47 +0000 UTCTHANK YOU we needed some silly fun positive Taylor content, and a reminder that Taylor does has an incredible discography
Esraa M
2025-10-16 16:17:55 +0000 UTCI would die for a mashup of fresh out the slammer x guilty as sin? 😭 I love both set lists from y’all! I would personally add in some kind of moment for Clara Bow, she’s my TTPD showgirl ✨🫶
shae
2025-10-16 16:15:05 +0000 UTCThis is my favourite kind of video 💗💗 I would try to work in the villain plot by adding in a prelude dance to Tim McGraw and then the Tim McGraw dancer becomes our villain!

2025-10-16 16:01:38 +0000 UTCwait when i’m off the penelope and you literally did this anyway…. i’ll see myself out
Ashlyn Collier
2025-10-16 16:00:51 +0000 UTCmadeline i’m loving your vision but if “im on my own” section is kinda about her dying/wanting to die, not only would it be interesting if elizabeth taylor was the resurrection/phoenix moment, and i think her “death” could be really interesting to set up the rest of the show, esp the circus segement. BUT all that to say if that’s how you go about it, have mirrorball be her death, and she’s LITERALLY the mirrorball… h*nging from the ceiling, shattered in a million pieces. maybe not so graphic but r u seeing the vision
Ashlyn Collier
2025-10-16 15:57:24 +0000 UTCLove the setlists!
