When Taylor Swift released the tracklist for “The Life of a Showgirl,” many Swifties wondered whether track No. 6 “Ruin the Friendship” was about Blake Lively.
And it’s safe to say that after hearing it.
“Ruin the Friendship” talks about her high school self falling in love with a boy who already has a girlfriend.
However, she suggests that her love does not reciprocate when she sings, “Your smile, Miles Wide/And it wasn’t an invitation/I should have kissed you anyway.”
Swift, 35, hints that even if he fell in love with her, there would have been too many bumps along the road.
“And that wasn’t convenient, no / But your girlfriend was away / I should have kissed you anyway,” she sings, “A corsage withered from my wrist / I get a glimpse over his shoulder / I see me…
The songwriter also states that he “don’t want to ruin the friendship” with the boy’s ex, as “we’ve been fine recently.”
“It’s safe to make friends / doesn’t mean you should…” she repeats.

When Swift released a tracklist for her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, a theory of “The Life of A Showgirl” emerged in “The Life of A Showgirl” with “It Ending Us” co-star and director Justin Baldoni.
The singer was summoned by his legal team after Bardoni in the countersuit and claimed that Lively had tried to use her friendship in the film to get her film. Shortly afterwards, the investigation was dropped, but still ruined the friendship between Swift and Lively.
A source told June that “she will forever be furious that Blake was using her very clearly for influence and leverage in her deal with Justin. She even hates Blake thinking that way.”
“They were baking their companions, travel companions, home decor buddies, and to be honest, billionaires buddies.
“I was happy that she was with the others who ‘get it’ because she had millions of her own and didn’t seem to need anything from Taylor at all. ”
“You get injured (quickly) and even if it heals, the wound remains.”
Swift and Lively have not yet provided compensation. It is unclear whether the actress has reached out to the singer following her engagement to Travisquerce.
But “smashing down friendship” could be about Nathan Johnson, a sophomore high school student who died in 2006 in a jeep in Hendersonville, Tennessee, heading to football practice.
In the song, Swift sings about leaving school and being forced to return to her hometown after the boy dies.
“When I left school, I lost your truck / Abigail called me with bad news / Goodbye… and we don’t know why / It wasn’t an invitation / But I wasn’t flying home anyway /
In the song, she tells the boy that he is “watching the game from your brother’s Jeep.”
Johnson and Swift did not attend the same high school, but according to Baptist Press, the two may have crossed the road as they played football for their high school rival, Beach High School.
Plus, like Swift, Johnson had a gift of music and was part of the band through glass, which was being scouted on Nashville’s record labels, according to Baptist News Global.
It is unclear who the subject is, but the song states, “My advice is always ruining friendship/a sweet tribute to a romance that may have ruined something better than always regretting it.”
“The Life of a Showgirl” is currently available for streaming.
