Taylor Swift\u2019s 12th studio album, <em>The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>, dropped like an asteroid at midnight, and already, we are picking up Easter eggs from every corner of her musical universe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ahead, all the biggest highlights.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-4\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">She claps back at a nemesis in the most Taylor way.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s classic Swift to always surprise us. While many had thought that her song \u201cActually Romantic\u201d would be about one of her lovers, it is actually about one of her nemeses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Talking about a person who is obsessed with trying to bring her down, she sings, \u201cIt\u2019s actually sweet, all the time you spent on me \/ It\u2019s honestly wild all the effort you\u2019ve put in \/ It\u2019s actually romantic, I really gotta hand it to you \/ No man has ever loved me like you do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">(Insiders point to Charli XCX as the muse behind the spicy track.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Swift continues: \u201cHadn\u2019t thought of you in a long time, but you keep sending me funny valentines \/ and I know it comes off vicious, but it\u2019s precious, adorable \/ Like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse, that\u2019s how much it hurts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Oh, how we missed petty Taylor.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">She admits she wants kids with Travis Kelce.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In \u201cWishlist,\u201d Swift fully embraces her desire to settle down and start a family with the football pro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Talking about the entertainment industry, she sings, \u201cThey want to bright lights and Balenci[aga] shades \/ And a fat ass with a baby face,\u201d then adding, \u201cI just want you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cHave a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you \/ We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone and they do \/ Got me dreaming \u2019bout a driveway with a basketball hoop,\u201d Swift continues. \u201cI made wishes on all of the stars, God please bring me a best friend who I think is hot \/ Thought I had it once, twice, but I did not. You caught me off my guard \/ I hope I get what I want, \u2019cause I know what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">She remembers a lost friend.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cRuin the Friendship\u201d brings another surprise. The heartbreaking song is not about a broken friendship at all, but rather about a loved one she lost, and how she now has to live with regret at not having showed them how much she loved them.

In it, the pop singer talks about a friend of hers who got suddenly cancelled by society, or the entertainment industry, and is just now learning how she (Swift) felt during her many public feuds. The song is not accusatory, however, instead, Swift backs up her friend, saying she is not here to judge, but rather to support them. \u201cGood thing I like my friends cancelled, I like them dripped in Gucci and in scandal,\u201d she sings. \u201cAt least you know exactly who your friends are\u2014we\u2019re the ones with matching scars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While she doesn\u2019t name any names, Swift\u2019s longtime friend Blake Lively has recently been embroiled in a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Fcelebrity%2Flatest%2Fa63255632%2Fblake-lively-justin-baldoni-lawsuit-it-ends-with-us-explained%2F&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Fcelebrity%2Flatest%2Fa68306153%2Ftaylor-swift-the-life-of-a-showgirl-album-easter-eggs%2F\" data-i13n=\"elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:very public legal feud;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">very public legal feud<\/a> with her <em>It Ends With Us<\/em> costar Justin Baldoni, and somehow, Swift has gotten <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Fcelebrity%2Flatest%2Fa65791462%2Fis-taylor-swift-song-ruin-the-friendship-about-blake-lively-feud-explained%2F&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harpersbazaar.com%2Fcelebrity%2Flatest%2Fa68306153%2Ftaylor-swift-the-life-of-a-showgirl-album-easter-eggs%2F\" data-i13n=\"elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:dragged into the case;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">dragged into the case<\/a>. While Swift and Lively have not been seen together since the legal battle began, this could be the pop star\u2019s way of revealing she will always be there for her friend. Or not!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">She nods to her engagement to Travis Kelce\u2014before it even happened.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Swift predicted her entire love story with Kelce, and not one of us is surprised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the songs \u201cElizabeth Taylor,\u201d \u201cOpalite,\u201d \u201cHoney,\u201d \u201cWood,\u201d and \u201cEldest Daughter,\u201d she sings about her relationship with Kelce, and drops more than a few Easter eggs about their future together and even their engagement and upcoming wedding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAll the right guys promised they\u2019d stay,\u201d she sings in \u201cElizabeth Taylor,\u201d adding, \u201cIf you ever leave me high and dry, I\u2019d cry my eyes&#8230; like Elizabeth Taylor \/ Tell me for real, do you think it\u2019s forever?\u201d In the track, she also references the saying \u201cdiamonds are forever,\u201d and concludes: \u201cDon\u2019t you ever end up anything but mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cOpalite\u201d was inspired by Kelce\u2019s birthstone, the opal, and in the song, Swift sings about how the skies have cleared and shine with an opal rainbow now that he is in her life. In \u201cHoney,\u201d she similarly talks about how whenever people referred to her as <em>honey<\/em> or <em>sweetheart<\/em> before, they didn\u2019t mean it as a compliment, but with Kelce, it\u2019s different. \u201cYou can call me honey if you want because I\u2019m the one you want,\u201d she sings. \u201cYou give it different meaning because you mean it when you talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She then adds, dreaming of their future together, \u201cI\u2019m home, we can play house,\u201d and adds, \u201cWhat\u2019s the plan? \/ You can be my forever night stand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As fans know, the NFL star proposed to Swift after she appeared on his <em>New Heights<\/em> podcast to announce the release of her album <em>The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>. By then, the album had long been completed, as the singer disclosed that she wrote it during her Eras Tour. But evidently, Swift knew exactly where this romance would go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In \u201cEldest Daughter,\u201d she promises to be forever faithful to those she loves. \u201cI\u2019m never gonna let you down, I\u2019m never gonna leave you,\u201c she sings. \u201cSo many traitors, smooth operators \/ but I\u2019m never gonna break that vow, I\u2019m never gonna leave you now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And then there is this one telling lyric toward the end: \u201cWhen I said I don\u2019t believe in marriage, that was a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">She talks about a diamond ring, and her sex life.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWood\u201d might be the most romantic and steamy of the Kelce songs. A love-struck Swift sings that while she used to be superstitious, Kelce broke the \u201ccurse\u201d on her and she now feels so sure about their love that she \u201cain\u2019t got to knock on wood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cSeems to me that you and me we make our own luck,\u201d she sings. \u201cIt\u2019s you and me forever, dancing in the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Not only does she reference their sex life (\u201clove was the key that opened my thighs\u201d) but also makes it clear that she is ready to marry him. She sings, \u201cI don\u2019t need to catch the bouquet to know a hard rock is on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>You Might Also Like<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.&#8221; It\u2019s here.
