Cirkusmetaforik II

Og så bliver jeg nødt til at røbe, at jeg hører den nye Taylor Swift, for hun cirkus-metaforiserer sgu sørme også (sig selv og sin performativitet), i sangen "MIrroball":

And they called off the circus, burned the disco down
When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns
I'm still on that tightrope
I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me
And I'm still a believer, but I don't know why
I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try
I'm still on that trapeze
I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me
