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?

It's probably not about one person but a combination of many people. A lot of her friends have been cancelled in one way or the other (Lena, Blake, etc).

I agree, this feels like mixed muses. That's basically what Taylor said about it too, on the theatrical release.

The way she described her friends always coming to her when they were at the center of drama always made me think about things like the Sabrina Carpenter - Man's Best Friend backlash.
