Taylor Swift Sends Bold Message About Cancel Culture With Edgy New Song  ...Saudi Arabia

Taylor Swift may have just cancelled cancel culture.

The music legend, 35, dropped the already-iconic new song, "Cancelled!", with the October 3 release of her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Track No. 10—which blesses fans' ears for a solid three minutes and 31 seconds—seems to shed light on the harsh criticism Swift has faced as an uber-famous Hollywood star.

The lyrics may also point to the megastar's years-long feud with former couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

The song begins: "You thought that it would be okay, at first / The situation could be saved, of course."

The "situation" at hand is initially unknown, but Swift doesn't fail to let her remarkable lyricism fill in the gaps as the track progresses.

She continues: "But they'd already picked out your grave and hearse / Beware the wrath of masked crusaders."

These ominous lines are highly reminiscent of 2017's Reputation—Swift's hit sixth studio album which she largely penned about the public backlash she faced following the infamous 2016 phone call incident involving Kardashian, 44, and West, 48.

The pop idol sings next: "Did you girl-boss too close to the sun? / Did they catch you having far too much fun?"

Here, the superstar seems to be referring to public scrutiny and how a life of fame can feel like living under a microscope.

The songwriting icon continues: "Come with me, when they see us, they'll run / Something wicked this way comes."

While Swift spent much time staying out of the public eye following her 2016 backlash, she now seems to be bravely standing tall among the haters (while referencing Shakespeare's Macbeth, of course).

She then transitions to the sultry-sounding, glitzy chorus, singing: "Good thing I like my friends cancelled / I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal."

The star singer calls out cancel culture in these lines. She seems to poke fun at the phenomenon while reclaiming her power. Though cancel culture previously caused her to drastically disappear from the outside world, she now seems to embrace those who have also felt its wrath.

She continues in the chorus: "Like my whiskey sour / And poison thorny flowers / Welcome to my underworld."

The Pennsylvania native then adds: "Where it gets quite dark."

Swift's "underworld" could serve as a direct contrast between the struggles she's faced and the bright lights of Hollywood.

The songstress continues: "At least you know exactly who your friends are / They're the ones with matching scars."

Here, she seems to be bringing attention to the camaraderie she feels with fellow victims of cancel culture.

Swift later sings: "But one single drop, you're off the roster / 'Tone-deaf and hot, let's f--kin' off her.'"

These lines may also reference her issues with West and Kardashian, the former of which began when the rapper interrupted the "You Belong With Me" singer during her 2009 VMA's acceptance speech.

The "Cancelled!" lyrics later reference bringing "a tiny violin to a knife fight," which is reminsicent of a line from Swift's "Call It What You Want" (Reputation): "I brought a knife to a gunfight."

The singer-songwriter also mentions her "exoneration" in the new song, which could refer to her public redemption in 2020 after the full audio from the 2016 phone call was released.

In addition to various tracks from Reputation, multiple songs from The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology are rumored to be about Swift's rift with Kardashian, including "thanK you aIMee" and "Cassandra."
