Taylor Swift addressed the mixed reviews that her 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl' received.

“I welcome the chaos. The rule of show business is if it’s the first week of my album release and you are saying either my name or my album title, you’re helping,” she explained in an interview with Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show on Tuesday, October 7. “And art, I have a lot of respect for people’s subjective opinions on art. I’m not the art police. It’s like everybody is allowed to feel exactly how they want. And what our goal is as entertainers is to be a mirror.”
