Shortly after Taylor Swift unexpectedly released a music video for her song “Elizabeth Taylor,” the estate of the late actress responded to the tribute. The video was made entirely of clips from Taylor’s classic films, including “Cleopatra,” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” “A Place in the Sun,” and “Giant.”
Oh my gosh, I just read that a source told TMZ it’s all about Elizabeth, seriously! Like, the whole thing is a total love letter to her, a real tribute in every way. I knew it! She deserves all the praise!
We’re thrilled to celebrate this moment and appreciate Taylor Swift recognizing what many already knew: Elizabeth Taylor was a genuine icon and a pioneer in every way.
She lived life exactly as she wanted, with confidence and without regret. She handled her public role with poise and bravery, but also strongly guarded her private life and the people she loved. This ability to balance both worlds was one of her most impressive traits.
Elizabeth’s family shared that Taylor Swift handles the challenges of being a global superstar with remarkable honesty and resilience. They were deeply touched by her tribute and believe Elizabeth would have adored the video.
The actress, who began her career as a child and later won an Oscar, passed away in 2011 at the age of 79 due to heart failure. She was known for her striking violet eyes.
The pop star, a billionaire at 36, concluded her tribute to Elizabeth Taylor by expressing gratitude to the House of Taylor, the Elizabeth Taylor Trust, and the families of Todd and Wilding.
Taylor Swift surprisingly chose to release her music on Apple Music and Spotify instead of her official YouTube channel, though she did share the news with her massive social media audience of over 536.5 million followers.
In an interview last October, the Grammy-winning artist explained that her song ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ explores her personal struggles and feelings about fame by imagining what it would be like to live the life of the iconic actress. She combines these two experiences – her own life and the persona of Elizabeth Taylor – within the song.
I’ve always admired her – she seemed glamorous and widely loved. But surprisingly, she also attracted a lot of disagreement, and I realized I was experiencing something similar myself.
Taylor Swift referenced the famously turbulent relationship between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in her 2017 song, …Ready for It?. A lyric, ‘And he can be jailor / Burton to this Taylor,’ directly alludes to Burton, drawing a parallel between their dynamic and her own relationships.
Singer Lady Gaga, originally from Pennsylvania, continues to see success with her twelfth studio album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’ It’s currently at number 12 on the Billboard 200 chart, an impressive feat considering it was released 25 weeks ago.
Taylor Swift had a big night at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards last Thursday, taking home awards for Artist of the Year, Pop Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Lyrics, Best Music Video, and Favorite Tour Style.
The millennial, who was homeschooled, showed affection with her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and they are expected to get married later this year.
According to Page Six, Taylor Swift reportedly paid a bride to move her wedding date so Swift could book the Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, for June 13th.
