Showgirl film event turns her album into a cinematic triumph

"The Life of a Showgirl", which was released on Friday, is already setting sales records. This 89-minute big-screen event features a mix of music videos, behind-the-scenes footage, and lyric videos for songs from her new album. It’s bookended by the world premiere of her music video for the showgirl single "The Fate of Ophelia," which she directed.

The film was shown at all 540 AMC theaters in the US for three days, ending on Sunday. AMC also showed the film in Mexico, Canada, and across Europe.
