Taylor Swift has once again captured the internet’s attention with the release of her studio album “The Life of a Showgirl”. The record, spanning twelve tracks, touches on fame, past relationships, and even unexpected pop culture references, including one to football giants Real Madrid. In the song Wi$h Li$t, Swift sings, “They want a contract with Real Madrid / They want that spring break that was f***in’ lit / And then that video taken off the internet / They want it all.” The mention of the club in the lyrics is most likely an acknowledgement to the prestige of Real Madrid, arguably one of the biggest football clubs in the world. Fans have also drawn connections to her recent performances at the Santiago Bernabéu – Real Madrid’s home ground in May, where she played two nights at the iconic stadium.
