Although Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, has been out for less than a week, there's no doubt that it's already made its way into your orbit. Maybe you’ve listened to all the songs twice or parsed through all the online discourse. That’s the power of a Taylor release; it grabs hold of our collective awareness and doesn’t let go until every angle has been analyzed, every opinion has been passionately voiced, and a new era begins.
So, no matter how you feel about Taylor’s upbeat Showgirl phase, you can’t deny its impact. And given that it’s already the year’s top-selling album, it’s clear that many fans can’t get enough of her playful new sound.
If you’re still trying to figure out what your favorite TLOAS song is, why not let astrology choose for you? We’ve matched each track with a zodiac sign by assessing the song’s message and energy. Whether you base it on your sun, moon, or rising sign, consider this your cosmic guide to which Showgirl anthem you should have on repeat right now. (Personally, I’ll be running up “Wood” for the foreseeable future.)
Aries
“Eldest Daughter”
As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries energy is all about initiating action and establishing new traditions—much like eldest daughters. In this song, Taylor sits with what it means to be “the first,” a responsibility Aries folks know very well.
Taurus
"Wi$h Li$t”
Tauruses are driven by a desire for lasting comfort and security. In this track, Taylor emphasizes that no matter how many luxuries she has access to, true fulfillment comes from love and feeling emotionally grounded, which this earth sign deeply understands.
Gemini
“Honey”
Sometimes being called “honey” isn’t condescending! As Taylor explores her relationship with pet names on this track, her processing is reminiscent of Gemini’s classic open-mindedness. They're always ready to shift perspectives when presented with new information. Two things can be true at once…and this sign, represented by the twins, absolutely gets that.
Cancer
“Ruin the Friendship”
This nostalgic ode to a classmate who passed is an emotional exploration of “what could’ve been.” This sign often revisits their past and imagines all the other paths their life could’ve taken, so this song’s a fitting match for the Cancer’s reflective, sentimental energy.
Leo
“The Life of a Showgirl (Feat. Sabrina Carpenter)”
The album’s title track is playful and dramatic, detailing the ups and downs of life in the spotlight. Leo lives for a grand performance, and they'll often turn even the smallest moment into a full-on spectacle.
Virgo
“Elizabeth Taylor”
Virgo respects tradition and learns by observing those who came before them. On this track, Taylor examines how Elizabeth Taylor navigated falling in love in the public eye, and how that famous example can inform her own choices. This thinking is very aligned with Virgo’s thoughtful, self-improvement-focused nature.
Libra
“Actually Romantic”
Taylor’s playing the “kill ’em with kindness” game on this diss track, which is incredibly Libra-coded. This sign is the master of being “nice nasty.” You’ll rarely realize they’ve shaded you until days (or weeks) later.
Scorpio
“Wood”
Taylor is lusting hard on this track. While Scorpio often gets labeled the horniest sign, what makes this a true Scorpio anthem is how unapologetically honest she is about her desire. No shame or subtlety about it.
Sagittarius
“CANCELLED”
Sagittariuses don’t shy away from controversy, and neither does this song. Taylor knows she surrounds herself with divisive figures, but that won’t stop her from hanging with them proudly. Sag people thrive in chaos and never back away from drama.
Capricorn
“Father Figure”
Often called the “father of the zodiac,” this song obviously goes to Capricorn. Because they’re so responsible and ambitious, these people become guideposts for those who lack direction…making them natural “father figures” whether they want to be or not.
Aquarius
“Opalite”
Technically, opal is October’s birthstone, but never mind that. As an air sign, Aquarius people are known for their ability to detach and move on. This song fits so well with their general “everything happens for a reason” outlook. Taylor reflects on how she used to obsess over exes, but now that she’s found new love, “the sky is opalite.”
Pisces
“The Fate of Ophelia”
Pisces people live in a dream world. So comparing your romantic life to a tragic Shakespearean heroine is peak Pisces behavior. Taylor explains how love saved her from despair, and for this sign (hopeless romantics at heart), that’s the ultimate fantasy.
