This particular piece originally belonged to the legendary Las Vegas revue Jubilee!. Mackie himself highlighted the look in an August 19 Instagram post. His post confirmed its heritage and linked Swift directly to the iconic world of Cher. The ongoing rollout has been as much a style statement as it is an album preview.<\/p>\n Teasers of the new vinyl art and accompanying aesthetics of Taylor Swift\u2019s upcoming album, \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d, fully embrace the Showgirl Era.

However, the nod wasn\u2019t accidental.<\/p>\n According to Rob Shuter\u2019s<\/a> exclusive on his Substack, Swift\u2019s styling choice is widely seen as a respectful homage to Cher rather than simple borrowing. \u201cTaylor knows exactly what she\u2019s doing,\u201d a fashion insider told Shuter. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just a look\u2014it\u2019s a love letter.

As one source noted, \u201cThere\u2019s only one Cher. The fact that Taylor\u2019s drawing from her proves just how untouchable she is.\u201d<\/p>\n The singer announced the new vinyl on her Instagram handle<\/a>, captioning the post with the name of her latest collection, \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl: Baby, That\u2019s Show Business.\u201d The post also mentions the album producers and photographers.<\/p>\n The post Taylor Swift\u2019s \u2018Borrowing\u2019 Cher\u2019s Style for Showgirl Era<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nTaylor Swift\u2019s showgirl costumes take a leaf out of Cher\u2019s book, says source<\/h2>\n
