Is Taylor Swift's 'CANCELLED!' About Chiefs WAG Brittany Mahomes? Fans Think So!
Taylor Swift Fans Are Convinced Her New Song 'CANCELLED!' is a Scathing Takedown of Brittany Mahomes and Her Trump Support
The drama has officially begun, folks! Taylor Swift's loyal fan base is buzzing with excitement as they've deciphered the lyrics to her new song "CANCELLED!" - and it appears to be a scathing takedown of none other than Chiefs bestie, Brittany Mahomes. The pop star's latest album, "The Life of a Showgirl", dropped on October 3, and fans are convinced that Taylor is throwing major shade at Brittany's past support for Donald Trump.
For those who may have missed the drama, Brittany, wife of Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes, sparked outrage last year when she liked a social media post from Trump while he was running for his second presidential term. The backlash was swift (pun intended), with many calling out Brittany for her apparent endorsement of the polarizing politician.
But what really has fans talking is the timing of Taylor's new song "CANCELLED!". With lyrics like "Good thing I like my friends cancelled
The lyrics are certainly... interesting, but it's worth noting that Taylor hasn't explicitly confirmed whether the song is about Brittany. However, fans point to several clues, including the reference to Gucci - a brand often spotted on Brittany's Instagram feed (remember those Wimbledon and US Open appearances?). And let's not forget the "roster" comment, which some are interpreting as a nod to Brittany's support for Trump.
But here's the thing: despite their apparent differences, Taylor and Brittany seem to have remained friends. In fact, they were spotted together celebrating Brittany's 30th birthday in Nashville last month - with Taylor front and center, no less! The two were seen enjoying celebratory cocktails and even posing for a sweet photo together.
So, is "CANCELLED!" really about Brittany? Only Taylor knows for sure, but fans are convinced that the song is a clever takedown of those who dare to cross her. And let's be real - with lyrics like these, it's clear that Taylor isn't afraid to speak her mind and call out her friends when they get it wrong.
But "CANCELLED!" isn't just about Brittany - some fans believe that the song is also a subtle dig at Blake Lively amid her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni. Others think that Taylor might be taking aim at someone else entirely. Whatever the case, one thing's for sure: Taylor Swift knows how to stir up drama and keep her fans on their toes.
The Track by Track Version of "The Life of a Showgirl"
In an interesting twist, Taylor has revealed the inspiration behind "CANCELLED!" in a track-by-track explanation on Amazon Music. Without mentioning Brittany or any other friends by name, Taylor describes the song as about "having had my own experiences with mass judgment and being at the center of many dramatic kind of scandalous moments in my career".
She goes on to say: "Having had those experiences, it makes me move through the world a little bit differently. And when other people go through it, you kind of find yourself thinking about how they're probably going to get smarter because of this. If they can get through it, if they can be tough enough, they can actually learn some things through this process".
Of course, fans are still convinced that the song is a veiled reference to Brittany's Trump controversy - but one thing's for sure: Taylor Swift knows how to write a catchy tune with a whole lot of attitude.
The Drama Continues...
As for Brittany and Patrick Mahomes, they seem to be taking the drama in stride. The couple will likely cheer on their partners this weekend as the Chiefs take on the Jaguars in what promises to be an exciting matchup.
And Taylor? Well, she's still reeling from the release of her new album - but fans are already speculating about what's next for the pop star. Will she continue to throw shade at her friends and foes alike? Only time will tell...
