\n\tTaylor Swift<\/a> has unveiled the music video for \u201cElizabeth Taylor<\/a>,\u201d the second track from her record-breaking <\/a>12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tThe video serves as a kind of visual homage to complement Swift\u2019s about the legendary starlet, featuring an array of clips from Taylor\u2019s life and classic filmography. It appears that Swift has only released the \u201cElizabeth Taylor\u201d visual on streaming services like Spotify<\/a> and Apple Music<\/a>, with no version on YouTube as of yet. (YouTube, it\u2019s perhaps worth noting, recently stopped submitting data to Billboard<\/a>, so streams there no longer count toward placement on charts like the Hot 100.)<\/p>\n

\n\tMany critics consider \u201cElizabeth Taylor\u201d to be the centerpiece of The Life of a Showgirl. The track pays homage to the legendary Hollywood actress whose own career mirrored Swift\u2019s own in many ways. As Rolling Stone music critic Rob Sheffield writes<\/a>, \u201cthe Liz\/Swift soul connection goes deep, way beyond their shared name. Both Taylors got famous as kids, grew up in public as America\u2019s sweetheart,\u201d adding, \u201clike Swift, Liz was the ingenue who made everything sticky by growing up.\u201d <\/p>\n
