About CANCELLED!

'CANCELLED!' is the girlboss anthem & the tenth track on Taylor Swift’s twelfth studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl'. Embracing the role of an inviting underworld overlord, Swift criticises cancel culture for its biased selectivism and explains how fame works to the hypothetical coming-up celebrity. Taylor's words: "The song ‘CANCELLED!’ is sort of about, you know, having had my own experiences with mass judgment and being at the center of many .

CANCELLED! Lyrics

[00:03.43] You thought that it would be ok, at first
[00:08.71] The situation could be saved, of course
[00:13.53] But they'd already picked out your grave and hearse
[00:18.90] Beware the wrath of masked crusaders
[00:23.93] Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?
[00:26.34] Did they catch you having far too much fun?
[00:29.04] Come with me, when they see us, they'll run
[00:31.95] Something wicked this way comes
[00:34.71] Good thing I like my friends cancelled
[00:39.46] I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal
[00:43.98] Like my whiskey sour
[00:46.17] And poison thorny flowers
[00:48.79] Welcome to my underworld
[00:51.38] Where it gets quite dark
[00:52.95] At least you know exactly who your friends are
[00:56.81]
[00:58.98] They're the ones with matching scars
[01:04.04] It's easy to love you when you're popular
[01:09.22] The optics click, everyone prospers
[01:14.33] But one single drop, you're off the roster
[01:19.68] "Tone-deaf and hot, let's fuckin' off her"
[01:24.48] Did you make a joke only a man could?
[01:26.94] Were you just too smug for your own good?
[01:29.66] Or bring a tiny violin to a knife fight?
[01:32.65] Baby, that all ends tonight
[01:35.34] Good thing I like my friends cancelled
[01:40.21] I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal
[01:44.67] Like my whiskey sour
[01:46.82] And poison thorny flowers
[01:49.67] Welcome to my underworld
[01:52.13] It'll break your heart
[01:53.78] At least you know exactly who your friends are
[01:59.61] They're the ones with matching scars
[02:02.74] They stood by me
[02:04.73] Before my exoneration
[02:07.82] They believed I was innocent
[02:10.56] So I'm not here for judgment, no...
[02:17.97] But if you can't be good
[02:19.85] Then just be better at it
[02:24.12] Everyone's got bodies in the attic
[02:28.07] Or took somebody's man
[02:30.52] We'll take you by the hand
[02:32.99] And soon you'll learn the art
[02:35.74] Of never getting caught
[02:39.32] It's a good thing I like my friends cancelled
[02:44.08] You know that I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal
[02:49.30] Like my whiskey sour
[02:51.30] And poison thorny flowers
[02:55.11] It's a good thing I like my friends cancelled
[03:00.23] I salute you if you're much too much to handle
[03:04.92] Like my whiskey sour (I like it)
[03:07.11] And poison thorny flowers (I love it)
[03:10.20] Can't you see my infamy loves company
[03:13.76] Now they've broken you like they've broken me
[03:16.57] But a shattered glass
[03:17.85] Is a lot more sharp
[03:19.22] And now you know exactly who your friends are
[03:23.28] You know who we are
[03:25.41] We're the ones with matching scars
[03:27.21]
