You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail, and soon enough she's proud of your 12th studio album. After Taylor Swift dropped The Life of a Showgirl, her childhood pal Abigail Anderson Berard couldn't wait to listen - and share her glowing review. "Constantly blown away by all that you are @taylorswift 🧡," Anderson Berard, 35, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, October 3, on the album release day. Anderson Berard also reposted Swift's own Instagram message about the record.
