Taylor Swift dropped her 12th studio album, “Life of a Showgirl.” With her track “Canceled!”, the singer aims to cancel the culture and criticism rooted in Misogyny.
Taylor Swift has some ideas about canceling culture with her new track, “Cancel!” From the life of a showgirl. Defying public scrutiny and criticism, the singer embraces the sharp connections of scandal and reinvention.
She starts by calling out how quickly criticism of celebrities can escalate. Her wordplay implies that women often face success, saying, “Have you got too close to the sun?
After weathering a significant share of controversy and public feuds over the years, Swift reconstructs the stigma as the appeal of the chorus. She finds strength in solidarity and sings that her true friend is “someone with scars.”
She will later be able to change the mentality of online mobs and how public perceptions of celebrities change in one misstep: The crushed glass is even sharper / and now you know exactly who your friend is. ”
With “Cancel!”, Swift isn’t just criticizing critics. She portrays herself as a juggernaut who can come out of the wreckage.

(Verse 1)
At first I thought it was okay
Of course, it can save the situation
But they have already chosen your grave and spirit hearse
Beware of the Mask Crusade’s Wrath(pre-chorus)
Have you gotten too close to the sun?
Did they catch you because you were so much fun?
Come with me and if they see us they run
Something evil comes like this(chorus)
It’s good to love friends
I like being covered in gucci and scandals
Like my whiskey sour
Poison and nasty flowers
Welcome to my underworld
A place that gets quite dark
At least you know exactly who your friend is
They have scars(verse 2)
It’s easy to love you when you’re popular
Optics clicks and everyone will flourish
But one drop, you’re off the roster
“I’m deaf, it’s hot, let’s beat her.”(pre-chorus)
Did you make a joke that only guys can do?
Have you been too self-righteous for your own benefit?
Or bring a little violin to a knife fight?
Baby, it’s all over tonight(chorus)
It’s good to love friends
I like being covered in gucci and scandals
Like my whiskey sour
Poison and nasty flowers
Honey Welcome to my Underworld
It will break your heart
At least you know exactly who your friend is
They have scars(bridge)
They were standing by my side
Before my exoneration
They believed I was innocent
So I’m not here for judgment, no, oh(Verse 3)
But if you don’t get better, it’s just getting better
Everyone has their bodies in the attic
Or take someone’s guy and we’ll take you with your hand
And soon you will learn art that will never be caught(chorus)
It’s good that my friend likes cancelling it
You know I like to appear in Gucci and Scandals
I like the sourness of the whiskey
Poison and nasty flowers (OOH)
Yes, that’s good that my friend likes cancelled (cancellation)
I’ll salute you if it’s too much to deal with
Like my whiskey sour (I like it)
and poison and nasty flowers (I love it)
Can’t you see my infamous love for the company?
Now they broke you like they broke me
But the crushed glass is even sharper
And now you know exactly who your friend is(Outro)
You know who we are
We are people with scars
