\n\tThe show is starting early for The Life of a Showgirl, with Taylor Swift<\/a> revealing some of the album\u2019s lyrics days before its release through a Spotify pop-up in New York City.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday (Sept. 30), the streaming service opened up its immersive experience \u2014 which features themed decor, album visuals, video messages from Swift and, most importantly, Easter eggs \u2014 in honor of The Life of a Showgirl. Fans who visited the pop-up quickly uncovered phrases that turned out to be lyrics from songs on the album, which drops Friday (Oct. 3). <\/p>\n

\n\tOne of them was scrawled in orange lettering across a mirror<\/a>. It read, \u201cOftentimes it doesn\u2019t feel so glamorous to be me.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tAnother lyric \u2014 \u201cEveryone\u2019s unbothered \u2018til they\u2019re not\u201d \u2014 was revealed<\/a> on a banner above a Las Vegas-esque stage setup. <\/p>\n

\n\tAfter their respective reveals at the pop-up, each lyric was projected across Spotify billboards in different cities. The first one reached passersby in New York City, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, while the second went up on a billboard in S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday (Oct. 1), a new lyric appeared in the pop-up and on a billboard in London: \u201cYou wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpotify\u2019s Life of a Showgirl experience will be open through Thursday (Oct. 2), meaning there may be even more lyric reveals ahead. Swift has also been dropping what appear to be more lines from the unreleased songs via not-so-randomly capitalized letters in her lyrics on Apple Music, including the phrase, \u201cThey don\u2019t make loyalty like they used to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe lyrics are just a few pieces of the Showgirl puzzle that have been falling into place leading up to its release. Billboard<\/a> also found out recently that the 14-time Grammy winner does indeed interpolate George Michael\u2019s \u201cFather Figure\u201d in her track of the same name on the album. <\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond the Spotify pop-up, Swift has several other exciting events planned for release week. On Friday, her The Release Party of a Showgirl film event will hit theaters. She also has appearances on The Graham Norton Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night With Seth Meyers.<\/p>\n
