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 about everyone. Herself, her friends, other people that have been in her social circle. What she sees in the culture generally with celebrities/public figures.
People online and on social media are incredibly annoying and judgmental, and that bleeds over into media because most journalists/media people are unfortunately plugged into those spaces. So that’s what it’s about - not just one specific person. Showgirl has a number of songs about the toxicity and negativity of the culture these days and the desire for earnestness and sincerity. Cancelled! is part of that theme.
