Taylor Swift《The Life of a Showgirl》 的 第 12 首（最後一首），也是同名主打曲，Sabrina Carpenter 在這首歌中 feat，這是她和泰勒絲的第一次正式合作，跟 《The Tortured Poets Department》不同，這首歌回到比較純粹的流行曲風，讓我們一起聽聽這首歌的中英歌詞吧！
《The Life of a Showgirl》這首歌透過角色 Kitty 的故事，對比從粉絲視角、偶像視角、再到自己成為「showgirl」的轉變，揭露舞台生活背後的孤獨、付出、代價與矛盾。 歌詞中不斷重複 “You don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe” 這句，強調外界只能看到光鮮舞台的一面，卻無法理解背後的犧牲與傷痛。最後「Hey, Kitty, now I make my money being pretty and witty」的歌詞，暗示她曾經仰望 Kitty、現在自己也處於類似舞台位置。

Taylor Swift – The Life of a Showgirl (feat. Sabrina Carpenter) 中文歌詞
[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
Her name was Kitty
她叫做 Kitty
Made her money being pretty and witty
靠著美貌與機智賺錢
They gave her the keys to this city
他們把這座城市的鑰匙交到她手裡
Then they said she didn’t do it legitly, oh
卻又說她的成就不夠光明正大，哦
I bought a ticket
我買了一張票
She’s dancing in her garters and fishnets
她穿著吊襪帶和網襪起舞
Fifty in the cast, zero missteps
五十位演員，零失誤
Looking back, I guess it was kismet
回頭看，我想這就是命運的安排
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift]
I waited by the stage door
我守在舞台後門
Packed in with the autograph hounds
和一群索簽名的人擠在一起
Barking her name
大家齊聲喊著她的名字
Then glowing like the end of a cigarette
然後像煙蒂的微光般閃爍
Wow, she came out
哇，她出來了
I said, “You’re living my drеam”
我說：「妳正在過著我的夢想」
Then she said to me
她回應我
[Chorus: Taylor Swift]
“Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
「嘿，謝謝你送來這麼美的花束
You’re sweeter than a peach
你比蜜桃還甜
But you don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe
但你不了解舞女的生活，寶貝
And you’re never, ever gonna
而且你永遠不會懂
Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
等著瞧，越投入越得付出代價
You’re softer than a kitten, so
你柔軟得像小貓
You don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe
你不懂舞女的日子，寶貝
And you’re never gonna wanna”
而且你也絕對不會想過」
[Verse 2: Sabrina Carpenter]
She was a menace
她是個麻煩精
The baby of the family in Lenox
是 Lenox 家族裡的小女兒
Her father whored around like all men did
她父親像許多男人一樣拈花惹草
Her mother took pills and played tennis
她母親吞藥片、打網球
[Pre-Chorus: Sabrina Carpenter & Taylor Swift]
So she waited by the stage door
於是她守在舞台後門
As the club promoter arrived
當夜店推廣員出現時
She said, “I’d sell my soul
她說：「我願意賣掉靈魂
To have a taste of a magnificent life that’s all mine”
只為嚐一口屬於我的華麗人生」
But that’s not what showgirls get
但舞女得不到那種人生
They leave us for dead
他們只會將我們棄之不顧
[Chorus: Sabrina Carpenter, Sabrina Carpenter & Taylor Swift]
Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
嘿，謝謝你帶來的美麗花束
You’re sweeter than a peach
你比蜜桃更甜美
But you don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe
可你不懂舞女的日子，寶貝
And you’re never, ever gonna
而且你永遠不會懂
Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
越是投入，代價越沉重
You’re softer than a kitten, so
你柔軟得像隻小貓
You don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe
你不了解舞女的生活，寶貝
And you’re never gonna wanna
而且你也絕對不會渴望
[Bridge: Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter]
I took her pearls of wisdom
我將她的智慧化為珍珠
Hung them from my neck
掛在我頸項間
I paid my dues with every bruise
每一道瘀青都是我付出的代價
I knew what to expect
我早已心裡有數
Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
你想在我血管裡的冰面上溜冰嗎？
They ripped me off like false lashes
他們像撕掉假睫毛般把我拆卸
And then threw me away
然後將我拋棄
And all the headshots on the walls
舞廳牆上的頭像照
Of the dance hall are of the bitches
全都是那些女人的面孔
Who wish I’d hurry up and die
她們巴不得我快快消亡
But I’m immortal now, baby dolls
但如今我已不朽，寶貝們
I couldn’t if I tried
就算我想，也死不了
So I say
所以我說
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter]
“Thank you for the lovely bouquet
「謝謝你送來的美麗花束
I’m married to the hustle
我早已與拼命結婚
And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
如今我明白舞女的生活，寶貝
And I’ll never know another
再也不會有別的生命能比擬
Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (Lipstick and lace)
痛苦藏在口紅與蕾絲之下
Sequins are forever, and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
亮片永恆，而我懂了舞女的人生，寶貝
Wouldn’t have it any other way (Wouldn’t have it any other way, thank you for the lovely bouquet, oh)
這樣就好，我不願有任何改變
Wouldn’t have it any other way (Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
就這樣吧，謝謝你送來的花束
Hey, Kitty (Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
