Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of a Showgirl, seemingly references famous stars - including Blake Lively.
Released on October 3, Swift's 12th studio album treated Swifties with attention-grabbing tracks, including the song "Cancelled!" which fans believe is about the Another Simple Favor actress and their rumored fallout.
In the dark pop, Swift sings about how she likes her friends "cancelled," prompting Swifties to believe it might be about Lively and her messy legal showdown with her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni.
She adds in the chorus, "I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal / Like my whiskey sour, and poison thorny flowers / Welcome to my underworld where it gets quite dark / At least you know exactly who your friends are / They're the ones with matching scars."In the latter part of the song, she thanks her "cancelled" friends as she delivers the lines, "They stood by me before my exoneration / They believed I was innocent / So I'm not here for judgment, no."Fans initially thought Swift's song "Ruin the Friendship" might also be about Lively, but the lyrics suggest otherwise.
Brittany Mahomes

Brittany Mahomes is also linked to "Cancelled!" due to the controversies she has faced in recent years, including her public support of Donald Trump.
In September 2024, the POTUS namedropped Mahomes after Swift formally endorsed Kamala Harris before the election."Well I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better. If you want to know the truth," said Trump. "It was only a matter of time. You couldn't possibly endorse [Joe] Biden. But [Taylor's] a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat and she'll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace."He continued, "But I like Brittany. Brittany is great. She's the one I like much better than Taylor Swift. Wife of the great quarterback. I think she's terrific."
Charli XCX

The Life of a Showgirl also fuels a "Bad Blood" buzz between Swift and Charli XCX through the track "Actually Romantic.""I heard you call me 'Boring Barbie' when the coke's got you brave / High-fived my ex and then said you're glad he ghosted me / Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face/ Some people might be offended / But it's actually sweet / All the time you've spent on me," Swift cryptically sings.
Swifties suggest the title is also a play on the 33-year-old British singer-songwriter's 2018 song "Everything is Romantic."
Elizabeth Taylor

The second track from The Life of a Showgirl, "Elizabeth Taylor," references the late film actress Elizabeth Taylor.
In addition to the title serving as a nod to Taylor, Swift mentions her name multiple times throughout the track, including "Elizabeth Taylor / Do you think it's forever? /That view of Portofino was on my mind when you called me at the Plaza Athénée" and "I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor."Swift also sings the lines "The best booth at Musso & Frank's," "My white diamonds" and "In the papers, on the screen, and in their minds," which pay homage to Taylor.

"It was not an invitation / But I flew home anyway / With so much left to say / It was not convenient, no / But I whispered at the grave / 'Should've kissed you anyway'... My advice is always ruin the friendship / Better that than regret it / For all time."
