Meghan Markle was left feeling disheartened when Hollywood megastar Taylor Swift stole the spotlight from the former royal with her latest bombshell announcement. On August 12, the Duchess of Sussex marked her grand return to social media by unveiling the eagerly anticipated trailer for the second season of her show, "With Love, Meghan," on Instagram. The video, featuring Meghan and an array of celebrity guests indulging in kitchen tips and tricks, was captioned, "The best moments are made to be shared [gold-sparkle emoji] With Love, Meghan returns August 26th on @netflix," by the mother of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
However, just a day later, an unexpected guest graced Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce's podcast, New Heights – none other than the internationally acclaimed pop sensation, Taylor Swift. She made headlines by announcing her upcoming album, "The Life of a Showgirl," shattering social media view records in the process.
According to Express, royal commentator Rob Shuter revealed that the Duchess of Sussex was deeply saddened by the diversion of attention from her show's trailer to Swift's new album. An insider shared, "Meghan had envisioned her trailer dominating the news cycle." "But Taylor's announcement came crashing in like a wrecking ball. Meghan is convinced that it wasn't mere coincidence," the source added.
Meghan saw the trailer for the second season as her triumphant comeback moment, only to have Taylor "suck all the air out of the room." It's worth noting that Taylor Swift shares a friendly rapport with Meghan Markle's estranged brother-in-law, Prince William, which could have potentially fueled the Duchess of Sussex's bitter reaction to the situation.
