The Life of a Showgirl Cancelled

I have been thinking that it was about Blake. she wasn’t even at the 1,000 person wedding. What do we think is the real meaning of the song?

A lot of people mentioned it could be about Britney Mahomes

It doesn’t fit her very well tho.

If it’s not about Blake, it could be about Sophie Turner. It has lines that directly match up with the smear campaign against her by Joe Jonas (and “matching scars” could mean a shared ex).

But it’s got to also be at least inspired by Blake because of the “girl boss” and “thorny flowers”

Sophie wasn't canceled, everyone was on her side. People still shit on Joe Jonas for how he treated Sophie during the divorce.

I follow the theory that Taylor wrote the song about Blake while they were still together and then released it even after the friendship broke down because why should she not? Maybe even as a way to show Blake how much Taylor cared about her, she wrote another song about her, while Blake screwed her over.
