Every song from Taylor Swift’s trove is an admission of her life’s backstage enigma.

Is Taylor Swift navigating the Blake Lively storm in new album?

It has been a whirlwind for Taylor Swift since the release of her album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD)’, last year. From claiming that Travis Kelce and her relationship is a PR stunt to her political feuds, the media has long been inundated with ongoing controversies surrounding Swift. To top things off, she is facing her brand of ire for allegedly beefing with her best friend, Blake Lively. According to the Daily Mail, Swift’s upcoming album contains Easter eggs “about how she overcame the drama with Blake.” The album reportedly reflects Swift’s coping with backlash after the Blake Lively drama and the skepticism around her romance with Travis Kelce.

Swift, upon being subpoenaed in the Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni case, had reportedly triggered a rift between the two friends, following which Swift cut Lively off after a decade-long friendship, per the outlet. A close friend told the outlet, Taylor Swift was not avoiding the drama, instead preparing her upcoming album. The ‘Karma’ singer reportedly felt “used” and “exploited” by the actress, dragging her into her case for her fame. However, the outlet’s insider also mentioned that Swift’s upcoming album focuses on “positive and feel-good” factors instead of feuds.

Taylor Swift is set to paint the town orange with her joyful new album, leaving all petty feuds behind.
