About this episode

The episode discusses Taylor Swift's experiences with public backlash and the song 'CANCELLED!' from her album, exploring various moments of attempted cancellation throughout her career.

Taylor Swift has been through more public backlash than almost any artist of her generation, yet somehow she always comes back stronger. This week we're breaking down "CANCELLED!" from The Life of a Showgirl and talking about every major moment people tried to cancel Taylor throughout her career. From the 2016 snake era to the Kanye phone call, the Reputation comeback, the masters battle, and even the recent Blake Lively headlines, we're connecting all the dots behind one of the album's most fascinating songs. We also dive into the lyrics that have Swifties convinced this song contains hidden references to Blake Lively, explore why Taylor has become the unofficial expert on surviving public judgment, and discuss the impossible standards women face in the spotlight. Whether you think this song is about Taylor, Blake, or something much bigger, we had so much fun unpacking every lyric and theory. Let us know what you think because we know Swifties always catch something we missed. What did we miss? What else would you like to hear from us? There are lots of ways to reach us.  Stay Connected with 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast Join the conversation in our exclusive Lobster…
