Clearing the name

Before releasing the track, Swift reached out to Elizabeth Taylor's estate for permission and later called the estate "lovely" on a radio interview. The gesture acknowledges the song's direct references to the late actress.

Family reaction and album context

Christopher Wilding, Taylor's son, told PEOPLE he listened to the song the day it debuted and praised the parallels Swift draws between their careers and spirit. The song appears as the second track on Swift's 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, released in October, much of which fans link to her relationship with Kelce.
