\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tBlake Lively showed some love to Taylor Swift\u2019s new album, The Life of a Showgirl, amid her ongoing legal drama with Justin Baldoni. Lively took to Instagram and \u201cliked\u201d Swift\u2019s post honoring the release of the pop star\u2019s 12th record, which dropped on Friday, October 3. \u201cTonight all these lives converge here \/ The mosaics [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Swift released her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, <\/i>on Friday, October 3, and fans have been frantically working to deduce meanings of each and every track. (Swift famously does not mention any of her lyrical muses by name.)<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are definitely some theories that are based in absolutely nothing close to reality<\/a>,\u201d Swift said on a Friday broadcast of Elvis Duran<\/strong>\u2019s iHeartRadio show. \u201cBut, you know what? There are some that are so fun when they figure them out.\u201d<\/p>\nShe continued, \u201cJust yesterday somebody figured out that if you line up the titles of all the tracks of this album in order \u2026 in the center of the frame, the shape of the track list makes the same shape as the Eras Tour <\/i>stage. That was a real one [and] took a while for them to discover. Finally, they figured it out, and it was really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Swift, however, did not reveal whether Lively, who did drop a \u201clike\u201d<\/a> on the singer\u2019s Instagram post celebrating the album release, was a source of musical inspiration.<\/p>\n\n![\"Blake-Lively-It-Ends-With-Us-Premiere-GettyImages-2165917625\"](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blake-Lively-It-Ends-With-Us-Premiere-GettyImages-2165917625.jpg?w=1000&quality=40&strip=all\")

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tBlake Lively\u2018s ongoing legal drama with Justin Baldoni took an unexpected turn by pulling in Taylor Swift. After costarring in It Ends With Us together, Lively sued Baldoni in December 2024 accusing her costar and director of of sexual harassment and orchestrating an alleged smear campaign. In her filing, Lively claimed that Baldoni named Swift [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cTaylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film,\u201d a rep for Swift told Us Weekly <\/i>in a May statement. \u201cShe did not even see It Ends With Us<\/i> until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Swift performed the European leg of her Eras Tour <\/i>throughout 2024, she wrote Showgirl <\/i>with producers Max Martin<\/strong> and Shellback<\/strong><\/a>. A handful of fans claimed that \u201cCancelled!\u201d was penned about her falling-out with Lively.<\/p>\n\u201cDid you girlboss too close to the sun? \/ Did they catch you having far too much fun?\u201d Swift sings. \u201cCome with me, when they see us, they\u2019ll run \/ Something wicked this way comes \/ Good thing I like my friends cancelled \/ I like \u2019em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Swift has only said that \u201cCancelled!\u201d was a \u201ctongue in cheek glimpse at social outrage<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n
