Swifties all over the world can’t keep calm as Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated 12th studio album, titled “The Life of a Showgirl”, has finally made its debut on Friday, October 3. The album includes a total of twelve songs. The list includes “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Opalite,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Father Figure,” “Ruin the Friendship,” “Eldest Daughter,” “Wi$h Li$t,” “Actually Romantic,” “Wood,” “Honey,” “Cancelled!” and “The Life of a Showgirl (Feat. Sabrina Carpenter).”
As soon as the album dropped, fans started looking for different easter eggs, clues, and hints in all the tracks. Some Swifties firmly believe that the song “Cancelled!” is about Blake Lively. However, fans have also noticed that there is a big twist in the song’s lyrics. Rather than being a diss track, the song appears to be an ode to the long-standing friendship between the “Gossip Girl” alum and Taylor Swift.
Swifties claim Taylor Swift supports Blake Lively with ‘Cancelled’ lyrics
Taylor Swift’s name was brought into the court case involving Blake Lively and her co-star Justin Baldoni. Since then, rumors about a break in the singer and the actor’s friendship have started to swirl around the internet. When Swift announced her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” many believed that there might be a diss track about her alleged estranged friend, Lively.
However, after the album had been released, fans began to note that the lyrics of the track, “Cancelled!” speak otherwise. They seem to refer to Taylor Swift’s friendship with Blake Lively. Swifties have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to claim the lyrics showcase the singer’s support for her friend, Blake Lively.
Some of the song’s lyrics read, “It’s a good thing I like my friends cancelled.” They further read, “You know that I like ’em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal.” Fans have pointed out that Taylor Swift did not “abandon” her friend, Blake Lively. They strongly believe that the song “Cancelled!” is proof of that.
