Fans say Taylor Swift used comedian Caroline Timoney’s viral ‘girlboss too close to the sun’ phrase
In Taylor Swift’s latest album, The life of a showgirlShe has an often abundant new song, “canceled!” The biggest argument on the song is to know who it is (Blake Lively? Brittany Mahomes? Sophie Turner?). But a specific word wonders if a mild viral tiktok apparently referenced in the song could earn a payment for the creator who invented it.
In the pre-chiseur, Swift sings “Do you have a girl too close to the sun? / Did you have fun too much?”
If this first line seems a little familiar to you, it could be due to a viral 2021 tiktok in which the influencer and actor Caroline Timoney said: “Listen, I cannot give more information, but I fear having a little too close to the sun.” He currently has 7.5 million views.

“ The Life of A Showgirl ” by Taylor Swift is there, and the Internet is divided
In a video that Timoney published yesterday, the day after Swift released her 12th studio album, she said: “I woke up this morning to discover that my audio Tiktok that I did in the second year -” I put too close to the sun ” – was in a song by Taylor Swift. Changed.
If it is clear that most of Timoney’s video is jokingly, many comments encourage him to “lawyer” and to “get this money”. A commentator pointed out that the “Girlboss too close to the sun” line is a reference to Candace Owens who said so much in a YouTube video earlier this year on Swift’s alleged involvement in the Blake Lively trial against Justin Baldoni. “But I came with the sentence,” wrote Timoney in a comment in response.
A copyright lawyer on Tiktok, Rocky Retrograde, made parallels between this situation and the situation between Lizzo and Mina Lioness, who tweeted “I did a DNA test and I discovered that I am 100% this female dog” before Lizzo released his album The truth hurts. Lizzo ended up giving Lioness a writing credit on the song. Retrograde – with many fans and commentators from Timoney – recommended that Timoney is handing the hand and tries to do the same with Swift.
Timoney did not immediately respond to a request for comments from Mashable.
