Which track on Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl is named after actress Elizabeth Taylor?

The track on Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl named after actress Elizabeth Taylor is “Elizabeth Taylor.”

“Elizabeth Taylor” is the second song on the album’s standard track listing. Its title refers to the English-American actress known for films including National Velvet, Cleopatra, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Taylor Swift’s song title is not a collaboration with the actress, who died in 2011; it is simply a named reference within the album’s song list.

The track is sometimes confused with “The Fate of Ophelia,” the album opener.
