Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s \u201cCancelled!\u201d is a referendum on so-called cancel culture \u2014 but fans still don\u2019t know who served as the singer\u2019s inspiration for the song.<\/p>\n \u201cYou thought that it would be okay, at first,\u201d Swift, 35, sings on the track, the 10th on her The Life of a Showgirl <\/i>record<\/a>. \u201cThe situation could be saved, of course \/ But they’d already picked out your grave and hearse \/ Beware the wrath of masked crusaders.\u201d<\/p>\n She adds, \u201cDid you girlboss too close to the sun? \/ Did they catch you having far too much fun? \/ Come with me, when they see us, they’ll run \/ Something wicked this way comes \/ Good thing I like my friends cancelled \/ I like ’em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n While Swift, 35, famously doesn\u2019t name her lyrical muses, cohorts of fans have debated<\/a> whether \u201cCancelled!\u201d refers to friends Brittany Mahomes<\/strong> or Blake Lively<\/strong>. Brittany, 30, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>, bonded with Swift after she started dating her now-fianc\u00e9, Travis Kelce<\/strong>. Brittany has also dealt with her fair share of backlash in the public eye, most recently for her perceived political affiliations.<\/p>\n Is Taylor Swift\u2019s \u2018Cancelled!\u2019 About Brittany Mahomes? Breaking Down the Theory\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Lively, 38, meanwhile, has been friends with Swift since 2016, though their bond has recently been strained amid the actress\u2019 ongoing lawsuit with It Ends With Us <\/i>costar and director, Justin Baldoni<\/strong>. (Swift was briefly subpoenaed in the matter, with Baldoni\u2019s team claiming the pop star was allegedly involved in the production. Swift has denied any involvement whatsoever.)<\/p>\n Several other fans, however, think \u201cCancelled!\u201d isn\u2019t referring to either Lively or Brittany, but actually Sophie Turner<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI don’t think \u2018Cancelled\u2019 is about Blake Lively, I think [TikTok fans] had the right idea about Sophie Turner, and yeah the times line up,\u201d one X user wrote, pointing out that Swift wrote Showgirl <\/i>in 2024 around the same time Turner, 29, was navigating her divorce from Joe Jonas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sophie Turner.<\/span> Marc Piasecki\/WireImage<\/span><\/p>\n Jonas, 36, filed for divorce from Turner in fall 2023 after four years of marriage, which started a back-and-forth custody battle over the pair\u2019s two young daughters.<\/p>\n \u201cThe concept of Taylor’s \u2018Cancelled!\u2019 being about Sophie Turner and how the media turned on her after her divorce with Joe Jonas and he is their \u2018matching scar,\u2019\u201d another fan wrote via X.<\/p>\n Swift also dated Jonas for a few months back in the early 2000s until he broke up with her in a now-infamous 27-second voicemail.<\/p>\n Every Time Sophie Turner Proved Her Swiftie Status After Marrying \u2014 and Divorcing \u2014 Joe Jonas<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWelcome to my underworld where it gets quite dark \/ At least you know exactly who your friends are,\u201d Swift adds in the song. \u201cWelcome to my underworld where it gets quite dark \/ At least you know exactly who your friends are \/ They\u2019re the ones with matching scars.\u201d<\/p>\n She continues, \u201cIt’s easy to love you when you’re popular \/ The optics click, everyone prospers \/ But one single drop, you’re off the roster.\u201d<\/p>\n Other fans pointed out that the song title is spelled with two letter \u201cL\u2019s,\u201d which is how the word canceled is spelled in British English. Turner, for her part, hails from England.<\/p>\n Swift also leapt into action to support Turner amid her divorce, even offering the Game of Thrones<\/i> alum a place to stay.<\/p>\n Brittany Mahomes, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Sophie Turner are seen on November 4, 2023 in New York City.<\/span> Gotham\/GC Images<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTaylor was more than happy to lend Sophie one of her investment properties in NYC while she works everything out with her divorce,\u201d a source exclusively told Us Weekly <\/i>in September 2023<\/a>. \u201cTaylor doesn\u2019t know all the details of their separation because she doesn\u2019t feel like it\u2019s her place. All she is concerned with is being there to support her friend. She\u2019s letting Sophie stay there as long as she needs and is supporting her however she can.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
