A small school in Erie, Colorado<\/a>, that instructs about 750 kids, had a wonderful librarian come up with the idea of a parody video of one of Taylor Swift’s biggest hits. Teachers and teacher librarians in Colorado <\/a>move on, but doing projects like this, makes those teachers and librarians live on.<\/p>\n

‘The Life of a Showgirl’ Spawns Addition Video Produced in Colorado<\/p>\n

In early October of 2025, Taylor Swift released, “The Life of a Showgirl,” along with its first single, “The Fate of Ophelia.” The song was a hit, not only because of the subtle references to future husband Travis Kelce. Four months after the song’s and video’s release, Meadowlark’s teacher librarian at the time, Marnie Steele, “dropped” a parody video that she and kids at the school produced.<\/p>\n

When you watch the video, you immediately wonder how long it took to put it all together, as it’s not just a “quick thing.” This video is as long as the official video, and incorporates a lot of choreography that must have taken weeks of practice.<\/p>\n

There are costume changes, great edits, and actual singing by the librarian and some of the kids. This is the kind of project that the school is known for: Project-Based Learning; the kids not only have fun “doing” something, but learn along the way while putting the project together.<\/p>\n

Marnie’s Video Tries to Stay as Close to Taylor’s as Possible<\/p>\n

While the video takes place [mostly] in the Curiosity Center <\/a>of Meadowlark (as opposed to all over the world for Taylor Swift,) the school’s video does have a vacuum, just like at the beginning of Taylor’s video.<\/p>\n
