Cancelled is about Blake Lively?

Fans suspect Cancelled is taking a sly swipe at some high-profile friendships, with Taylor singing: “Good thing I like my friends cancelled / Cloaked in Gucci and in scandal…”

The mention of “whiskey sours” likely nods to Blake Lively’s liquor brand, Betty Booze, known for its bourbon-infused canned cocktails. Meanwhile, the “poison thorny flowers” line seems to reference Lively’s florist character in It Ends With Us, a movie at the centre of legal drama involving the cast.
