Taylor Swift is dancing the dark — with a Bruce Springsteen \u201cBorn in the U.S.A.\u201d T-shirt on.<\/p>\n Swift, whose \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d LP was released on Oct. 3, shared a selfie of herself wearing the Boss T on a Monday, Oct. 6 multi-image Instagram post. The pic was taken while recording the \u201cShowgirl\u201d album as she sits in a recording studio with what looks like a glass of wine on a nearby table.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d was co-produced by Swift and Swedish producers Max Martin and Shellback, aka Karl Schuster.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing in the studio and creating these songs was an unforgettable experience, but luckily I don\u2019t ever have to forget it because I was recording while we were writing — and now it\u2019s a way to look back on the process and give you guys a glimpse into how we wrote these songs, and hear the moments we thought of these ideas in real time,\u201d said Swift in the caption for the post, referring to the \u201cDeluxe Alone In My Tower Acoustic Version\u201d of her new album. It’s available for just 24 hours on iTunes.<\/p>\n Swift has previously performed the Springsteen \u201cBorn in the U.S.A.\u201d single \u201cDancing in the Dark.\u201d and she included the line \u201cdancing in the dark\u201d in the song \u201cWood\u201d from \u201cShowgirl.\u201d<\/p>\n Springsteen has said he and his daughter Jessica Springsteen are fans of Swift. They played Swift’s \u201cMidnights\u201d during a car ride.<\/p>\n \u201cShe plays it for me top volume, all the way from Newark to Colts Neck, dancing in her seat, and I said, ‘That’s what I like to see,’ \u201d said Springsteen to Howard Stern in 2022. \u201cIt felt good. It was good. She’s super talented. (I know her) just a little bit. She’s a tremendous writer and I know her producer Jack Antonoff very well. Just making great records.\u201d<\/p>\n
