How To Make A Song Like "The Life Of A Showgirl" (Elizabeth Taylor, Cancelled! Actually Romantic)
In this video, I make a song in the style of Taylor Swift's new album, The Life Of A Showgirl. I take inspiration and elements from tracks like Elizabeth Taylor, Cancelled!, Actually Romantic, Wood, Ruin The Friendship, and The Fate Of Ophelia to make MY version of a song from The Life Of A Showgirl.
