Blake Lively just proved her friendship with Taylor Swift is still very much alive and well.

After weeks of chatter that their bond had cooled amid Blake’s legal drama with her It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni, the Gossip Girl alum tossed an XOXO Taylor’s way by showing support for her new album The Life of a Showgirl.

Lively was one of the many famous friends to hit the like button on Taylor’s October 3 Instagram post celebrating the project. Her digital stamp of approval landed alongside fellow Swift squad supporters Brittany Mahomes and Kylie Kelce.

But Swifties are convinced Taylor also addressed the friendship chatter in the music itself. Specifically, they’re pointing to “Cancelled!,” the album’s 10th track, as a subtle nod to Blake.

The song finds Taylor declaring that she likes her “friends cancelled” and promises loyalty no matter what kind of spotlight her inner circle winds up in.

“Did you girlboss too close to the sun? / Did they catch you having far too much fun?” she sings in the pre-chorus. “Come with me, when they see us, they’ll run / Something wicked this way comes.”

She doubles down in the chorus: “I like ‘em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal / Like my whiskey sour / And poison thorny flowers. Welcome to my underworld / Where it gets quite dark / At least you know exactly who your friends are.”

Fans were quick to line up receipts pointing toward Blake. “Girl was the face of Gucci,” one wrote on X, also referencing Blake’s Betty Buzz brand and her recent starring role in It Ends With Us. “Might as well name drop, come on now.”

Still, it’s worth noting that Taylor hasn’t confirmed who “Cancelled!” is about. And given the timeline—Showgirl was written during her Eras Tour, which wrapped in December 2024, before Blake made harassment claims against Baldoni—it’s unlikely the track is connected to that ongoing saga.

Instead, Taylor has framed the song as a reflection on fame, fallout, and forgiveness.

“Having had my own experiences with mass judgment and being at the center of many dramatic, sort of scandalous moments in my career,” she told Amazon Music, “it makes me move through the world a little bit differently and when other people go through it find yourself thinking about how they’re probably gonna 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.”

She added that she doesn’t “naturally cast people aside just because other people decide they don’t like them.”

“I make my own decisions about people,” Taylor continued, “based on how they treat me within my life and their actions.”
