Felt inspired to makee this setlist concept for a hypothetical The Life of a Showgirl tour.
NOTES
- I tried to be as realistic as possible with the length and song inclusions, on a standard night like this it’s a 39 song set including the 2 surprise songs which I think will stay on all future tours.
- Debut got 2 songs because I envisioned this happening after the release of Debut TV, so it being more in the spotlight, it would get highlighted a bit more. There could be room for a vault track single to go in act 2 as an addition or in place of TOMG or Our Song.
- evermore is the new victim with just one song (willow), it and TTPD I can see being the “forgotten” albums going forward along with Debut after its short lived moment in the sun. Speak Now I found fitting thematically while I was creating this, so it got three (only one full song though).
- Dancers would be present in all acts bar 2 (her, guitar and her band), 6 (I imagine her just rocking out here, with a guitar potentially present on some of these songs too) and of course the acoustic set.
