Swifties Think Taylor Swift Dropped a Hidden Blake Lively Clue on Life of a Showgirl — Pink Diamond Sparks Frenzy

Taylor Swift fans — known for their unmatched detective skills — are once again in full investigation mode. This time, they’re zeroing in on a piece of jewelry from the alternate cover of Life of a Showgirl, convinced it could be a subtle nod to actress Blake Lively amid reports of tension between the longtime friends.

On the cover of the limited-edition “It’s Rapturous” CD, Swift, 35, is seen wearing a pink diamond bangle with silver bead accents. Fans quickly noticed that the bracelet bears a striking resemblance to one Lively, 38, wore to the London premiere of It Ends With Us in August 2023 — a custom Lorraine Schwartz creation. Both stars have long favored the jeweler’s designs, but the similarity was enough to send the fandom spiraling into theory mode.

Swift Stays Playful About Easter Eggs

Swift herself hasn’t confirmed whether the bracelet was intentional — but she’s fueling speculation in her own way. Speaking with Elvis Duran on iHeartRadio the day of the album’s release, she laughed about the internet’s obsession with decoding her work.

“There are definitely some theories that are based in absolutely nothing close to reality,” Swift said with a smile. “But, you know what? There are some that are so fun when they figure them out.”

She even gave a peek into one hidden detail fans did uncover: if you align the tracklist of Showgirl just right, the titles form the same shape as the Eras Tour stage. “That was a real one,” Swift admitted. “It took a while for them to discover, but it was really fun.”

When asked directly about any connection to Lively, Swift stayed quiet — though fans noted that Lively “liked” her Instagram post celebrating the album’s launch.

A Friendship Under Public Scrutiny

Swift and Lively were once famously close, with their friendship dating back to 2016. But by late 2024, industry insiders claimed the relationship had cooled. Tension reportedly grew when Lively became involved in a legal dispute with actor-director Justin Baldoni over her work on It Ends With Us. Baldoni later attempted to subpoena Swift, alleging she was tied to creative decisions about the film — an accusation Swift’s team strongly denied.

“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film,” a spokesperson said in a May 2024 statement. “She did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its release and was touring globally at the time.”

Lyrics Fans Are Analyzing Closely

Adding fuel to the speculation is the track “Cancelled!,” which some fans believe references the rumored fallout. In it, Swift sings:

“Did you girlboss too close to the sun?
Did they catch you having far too much fun?
Come with me, when they see us, they’ll run
Something wicked this way comes
Good thing I like my friends cancelled
I like ’em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal.”

Whether these lyrics are about Lively remains unconfirmed — as always, Swift avoids naming names in her songwriting. But that hasn’t stopped Swifties from connecting dots between the jewel-studded bangle, the dramatic headlines, and Swift’s famously layered storytelling.

For now, the mystery remains unsolved. But one thing is certain: Life of a Showgirl has given fans exactly what they love — dazzling music, clever symbolism, and just enough intrigue to keep theory boards alive for months.
