Music superstar Taylor Swift released her highly anticipated new album ‘Life of a Showgirl’ at midnight on Friday.
Naturally, Capitals media came to head coach Spencer Carbery, a man of exquisite taste and polished brow, for a review of Swift’s latest LP after the team completed its morning practice.
The conversation, albeit brief, a little confusing, and featuring a lot of cross-talk, went like this:
Bailey Johnson: Do you have a take for us on the new Taylor Swift album?
Spencer Carbery: Did it drop today? I don’t. I wish I had.
Bailey Johnson: I didn’t think you would.
Tarik El-Bashir: That would have been… That would have been…
Spencer Carbery: I saw that it was like… I saw her promoting it in some of the… yeah…
Bailey Johnson: It’s a football crossover for you
Spencer Carbery: Yeah!
So, in summary and to the best of my understanding, Carbery wishes he listened and had an opinion for the media.
Across the music industry, reviews have been mixed for Swift’s Showgirl, though Billboard said the album “brings the bangers” and USA Today calls it “another triumph.”
What the media’s conversation with Carbery did reveal was how much he loves football and how he remains a diehard San Francisco 49ers fan.
As soon as the Capitals’ preseason game wrapped up against the Boston Bruins, Carbery tuned into the Thursday Night Football game between the 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. San Francisco won the game 26 to 23.
“I was literally listening to it on the way home, and they had that they recovered that fumble. And yeah, that was pretty entertaining to [hear] it on the way home,” Carbery said. “It was good.”
