The ‘Orange Era’ and New Musical Direction
Fans are already speculating that the announcement of The Life of a Showgirl marks the beginning of Taylor’s ‘orange era.’ Several clues, including a countdown video with a prominent orange background, suggest that the album’s visual theme could feature shades of orange.
