• Taylor Swift dropped her new song "Elizabeth Taylor" on The Life of a Showgirl, which is named after the iconic Old Hollywood star.
  • The lyrics reference Taylor's former partners leaving amid pressure from the spotlight, and her hope that the subject of her affection (maybe...Travis?) stays forever.
  • Taylor asks Elizabeth Taylor if her relationship is "forever."

The Life of a Showgirl just dropped and the time has come to obsessively analyze every song. There's still a lot to unravel when it comes to "Elizabeth Taylor" (which is clearly named after the iconic Old Hollywood star), but it mostly seems to be about Taylor Swift's partners before Travis Kelce bailing under the pressures of the spotlight (ahem, Joe Alwyn).

I mean, these lyrics say it all: "All the right guys / Promised they'd stay / Under bright lights / They withered away."

Taylor also seemingly references things with Travis being different, singing "but you bloom" and "if your letters ever said "Goodbye" / I'd cry my eyes violet" (note: Elizabeth Taylor was known for her violet colored eyes).

Tay then speaks to the Hollywood legend directly, asking her "Tell me for real / Do you think it's forever?" Honestly there's a lot to think about, so check out the full lyrics below, via Genius.

Elizabeth Taylor
Do you think it's forever?
That view of Portofino was on my mind when you called me at the Plaza Athénée
Ooh, oftentimes it doesn't feel so glamorous to be me
All the right guys promised they'd stay
Under bright lights, they withered away, but you bloom
Portofino was on my mind and I think you know why
And if your letters ever said, "Goodbye"
I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor
Tell me for real, do you think it's forever?
Been number one, but I nеver had two
And I can't have fun if I can't have (Uh)
Bе my NY when Hollywood hates me
You're only as hot as your last hit, baby
Been number one, but I never had two
And I can't have fun if I can't have you
Hey, what could you possibly get for the girl who has everything and nothing all at once?
Babe, I would trade the Cartier for someone to trust (Just kidding)
We hit the best booth at Musso and Frank's
They say I'm bad news, I just say, "Thanks"
And you look at me like you're hypnotized
And I think you know why
And if you ever leave me high and dry
I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor
Tell me for real, do you think it's forever?
Been number one, but I never had two
And I can't have fun if I can't have (Uh)
Be my NY when Hollywood hates me
You're only as hot as your last hit, baby
Been number one, but I never had two
And I can't have fun if I can't have you (Uh)
Elizabeth Taylor (Oh)
Do you think it's forever? (Oh)
If I can't have you
All my white diamonds and lovers are forever
In the papers, on the screen, and in their minds
All my white diamonds and lovers are forever
Don't you ever end up anything but mine
I'd cry my eyes violet, Elizabeth Taylor
Tell me for real, do you think it's forever?
Been number one, but I never had two
And I can't have fun if I can't have- (If I can't have you)
Be my NY when Hollywood hates me
You're only as hot as your last hit, baby
Been number one, but l never had two
And I can't have fun if I can't have (If I can't have you)
All my white diamonds and lovers are forever
Elizabeth Taylor, do you think it's forever?
In the papers, on the screen, and in their minds
All my white diamonds and lovers are forever
Don't you ever end up anything but mine
Oh, oh, oh
