My seven-year-old loves Taylor Swift and I’ve all the time loved her good, clear and enjoyable picture. But her new album is disgustingly raunchy – and he or she’s ditching her core viewers for filthy lyrics that even make a grown lady like me blush

It’s a Saturday morning, and I’m coated in cake and cut up orange juice at one other chaotic children’ social gathering. 

As they throw themselves round and wiggle to the most recent Taylor Swift track, it is grow to be a practice for my 7-year-old son, Felix, and the opposite Swifties, his classmates, to sing their hearts out.

Felix loves nothing higher than a disco and a sing-along and even persuaded me to purchase him a karaoke machine, which he insists on shouting into a number of occasions per week.

For years, we have been listening to Taylor Swift songs collectively whereas occurring journeys, and he is requested a number of occasions to attend a live performance.

But all that is modified as Taylor releases her twelfth album, Life of a Showgirl. It’s an entire new kettle of fish, and is completely inappropriate.

The lyrics are… properly, disgustingly raunchy.

Extremely spicy.

And dare I say it, full-blown intercourse.

ANNETTE KELLOW and her son Felix (pictured collectively) love listening to Taylor Swift collectively, however her new album The Life of a Showgirl, has left her red-faced

One of the track’s ‘Wood,’ an ode to fiancé Travis Kelce’s manhood, begins with, ‘Daisy’s naked bare, I used to be distraught…’

And finishes with, ‘His love was the important thing that opened my thighs.’

Subtle does not get a glance in.

In one other, Father Figure, she gushes; ‘I could make offers with the satan as a result of my d**ok’s larger.’

Charming. How in gods identify are lyrics like that appropriate for little ‘uns to take heed to?

Don’t get me fallacious, I’m no prude.

I’m the queen of the dancefloor and love nothing greater than an evening on the tiles sporting one thing small and sparkly as I totter round to saucy songs.

Heck, I’ve been recognized to show an informal after-work drink into an evening of 2am twirling, so I do know the drill.

The Life of a Showgirl is crammed with sexed-up lyrics, and the imagery is racier than ever too

But the lyrics hit totally different once they’re at a 7-year-old’s Pokemon themed birthday bash.

That’s as a result of Taylor Swift has clearly ditched her youthful followers and determined that intercourse and raunch are her new USPs.

Her kid-friendly live shows, usually all about bracelets, face glitter and brilliant sparkly outfits, will now be stuffed with filthy lyrics that may make even a seasoned twerking Cardi B fan blush.

Taylor’s all the time been a success for good, clear enjoyable, with high-profile followers ceaselessly bringing their youngsters to look at her exhibits, together with Serena Williams and Blake Lively.

Even Prince William could not resist celebrating his forty second birthday at her London Eras tour along with his youngsters, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, adopted by a Swiftie selfie final yr.

But it hardly rings royalty when she’ll now be gyrating and singing, ‘I heard you name me “Boring Barbie” when the coke’s bought you courageous,’ does it?

That’s why she needs to be actually cautious of alienating her youthful viewers, who’ve contributed vastly to her success, shopping for music, merchandise and attending live shows, the latter of which grossed 2.1 billion on her final tour.

Part of the pull for younger viewers members is ‘the Swiftie Serenade,’ the place Taylor picks a younger fan and provides them a once-in-a-lifetime alternative of singing to them and gifting them her hat.

But these live shows, of which Taylor by no means shies away from warbling about love, defeating criticism or celebrating triumphs, has now dissolved right into a intercourse worshipping fiancé fest. The query is, has she gone too far?

I imagine she’s skating on skinny ice and setting a nasty instance to youngsters who adore her.

One may very well be duped into considering that another person inspired her to convey such eroticism to her album, however nope.

Her twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl, was predominantly written and produced by herself, alongside longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback.

I’ve to applaud her on retaining artistic management and making savvy enterprise choices, each of which have helped hold tight reins and maximise monetary success. But I am unable to assist feeling it is a step too far.

Many dad and mom might dismiss it as innocent enjoyable, however research present that listening to music impacts youngsters cognitively and emotionally.

A latest Durham examine led by Dr Paddy Ross means that what youngsters hear may play a extra necessary position than what they see.

The findings declare that music encourages constructive emotional engagement in a spread of conditions for kids.

But what about horny music? Our Safer Schools provides steering that adult-themed music desensitises youngsters and might convey distorted perceptions and emotional misery to some.

Hypnotherapist Zoey Clews agrees and shares that it might have an effect on youngsters long-term.

Even the royal youngsters are followers of the popstar. Prince George and Princess Charlotte met Taylor and her fiancée Travis Kelce on the Eras Tour in London final yr 

‘This early sexualisation of youngsters shouldn’t be normalised. It’s not regular and it has far-reaching detrimental penalties in grownup life,’ she explains. ‘We’ve bought entry to all kinds of porn that youngsters watch from a younger age.’

‘Porn and Hollywood are predominantly performative and will not be actual intimacy or intercourse. There’s additionally a wider context at play as well-known artists, who’ve such huge affect, must be much more accountable with their energy and affect.’

While the album has acquired combined however primarily rave opinions on-line, Taylor’s not the primary contender to have saucy songs that youngsters lap up.

Earwig rigorously to Chapell Roan’s, Pink Pony Club, and you may rapidly realise it is much less about studying to horse trip and extra a couple of filthbomb’s West Hollywood pole-dancing fantasy.

Maybe Taylor is feeling extra liberated along with her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and that is her subsequent stage of unshackling the chains for full freedom.

After all, each inch of her life has been packaged to squeaky clear perfection for many years.

But in that case, perhaps it is time to take the raunch elsewhere?

In one other track, Wi$h Li$t, she croons about her need to have children and settling down ‘in a house crammed with love’. If not now, then when, pricey?

If that’s her true ambition, then perhaps she ought to dial down the steamy public scenes that youngsters see and focus extra on her non-public baby-making mission.
