Now, let’s look at the tracklist from Taylor’s The Life of a Showgirl album and how you can turn each song into Instagram posts for your business.
As a reminder, by the time we published this, the album is still unreleased, we don’t actually know what each track is about yet. So we built content ideas using the titles as creative prompts.
Taylor Swift Instagram Post Ideas: The Life of a Showgirl Album
1. The Fate of Ophelia
Ophelia’s story is tragic and dramatic — perfect for a “lessons learned” carousel or a “don’t make this mistake” post. Service providers can frame it as industry mistakes to avoid, while product-based businesses can highlight customer pain points.
2. Elizabeth Taylor
This glamorous title is ideal for spotlighting clients, products, or offers. Think: a “client glow-up” testimonial framed like an Old Hollywood poster. With a bold mockup-style Canva template, it feels campaign-worthy without the big budget.
3. Opalite
Opalite is known as a crystal for clarity and calm. Use this track as inspiration for a “hidden gems” post — underrated services, resources, or features of your business that deserve the spotlight.
4. Father Figure
This one screams authority and guidance. Coaches, consultants, or educators can use this theme to position themselves as a mentor. Try a template styled as a bold campaign poster and pair it with a thought-leadership caption.
5. Eldest Daughter
Perfect for vulnerable, relatable storytelling. Share about responsibility, leadership challenges, or even balancing work and life. Personal brands can use this to show the human side behind the business.
6. Ruin the Friendship
Flip the title into “myths ruining your [industry] strategy” or “3 mistakes that ruin results.” Carousel templates with bold statements work best here.
7. Actually Romantic
Great for brand storytelling — why you started your business, what you love about your work, or even a heartfelt thank-you to your community. Pair with soft colors or handwritten fonts to create an intimate vibe.
8. Wish List
This one is obvious — your goals, offers, or even a client wish list. For the holidays, it’s an instant content tie-in. For service providers, it’s a great way to tease upcoming launches.
9. Wood
Wood is about structure and foundation. Use it to share the “behind-the-scenes” of your process, your values, or the systems that hold your business together.
10. Cancelled!
This is a fun one. Use it to bust myths, call out bad advice, or list things your clients can stop doing right now. Canva templates with bold “CANCELLED” overlays will make this post pop.
11. Honey
Sweet, short, and simple. Share a quick tip, favorite resource, or small win. For product businesses, it’s perfect for highlighting one best-seller.
12. The Life of a Showgirl (featuring Sabrina Carpenter)
This is the big, bold one. Perfect for a “day in the life” post, behind-the-scenes content, or anything that shows off your personality. Use a glitzy, eye-catching Canva template from the pack to really play into the “showgirl” theme.
