Is Taylor Swift’s ‘Cancelled’ About Blake Lively?

Taylor Swift may have just revealed the status of her friendship with Blake Lively in her new “Cancelled.”

Swift’s 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, released on October 3 and featured a song that may be a surprising defense of the 38-year-old actress after many thought they were in a feud.

While many expected Swift’s song “Ruin the Friendship” to be about Lively after the singer was dragged into her friends legal battle with Justin Baldoni, Swift seems to be siding with Lively amid the ongoing backlash against her.

“Good thing I like my friends canceled / I liked them cloaked Gucci and in scandal,” Swift, 35, sings on the 10th track of the new album, an apparent nod to Lively who was named the face of the fragrance Gucci Premiere in 2012.

“I salute you if you’re much too much to handle,” Swift sings. “Now you know exactly who your friends are / We’re the ones with matching scars.”

Fans suspected that a feud was brewing between Lively and Swift — who is the godmother to Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds’ daughters — back in May when Baldoni’s legal team sought to depose the singer in the It Ends With Us.

In his since-dismissed suit against Lively, Baldoni claimed that Swift was present for a meeting with Reynolds about changes Lively wanted to make to the film’s script. In a letter to the judge in the case, Baldoni’s attorney also claimed that Lively’s lawyer threatened to release Swift’s texts if she did not publicly support the actress.

A judge granted Lively’s motion to strike the letter, calling Freedman’s filing “improper” and “irrelevant” and Baldoni’s various attempts to dipose Swift have been dismissed.

Swift appears to reference a legal battle in “Cancelled,” also adding to theories that the song is about Lively.

“They stood by me before my exoneration / They believed I was innocent so I’m not here for judgment,” she sings. “But if you can’t be good then just be better at it / Everyone’s got bodies in the attic / Or took somebody’s man / We’ll take you by the hand and soon you’ll learn the art of never getting caught.”

After hearing the song, fans were quick to link the lyrics to Swift’s longtime friendship.

“Cancelled is definitely about Blake lively. ‘Welcome to my under world’ aka Taylor knows the feeling of being witch-hunted,” one fan said on X.

Others took the song as a sign that Swift and Lively are still friends. As another fan said, “so, re CANCELLED! she’s still friends with Blake (and Ryan), but she’s like ‘you know I empathize and I will stand by you like you stood by me, but girl, pull your head in before it gets taken off?’”
