Taylor Swift is known for drawing inspiration for her hit songs from her own life. However, she may have pulled inspo straight out of the headlines for one of her most recent tunes, at least according to Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Many fans have heard of Gypsy Rose as she made headlines for conspiring with her then-boyfriend to kill her abusive mother. Blanchard was sentenced to prison and was released in December 2023. Now, she is claiming that Swift may have used her life story to write the song Fresh Out The Slammer on her new album, The Tortured Poets Department.
According to TMZ, Gypsy Rose is a major Swiftie. After listening to the singer’s new album, she now believes that Swift used her prison release to help her write the tune. Sources close to Gypsy claim that after hearing Fresh Out The Slammer, she connected to the song. She reportedly sees a lot of similarities between the lyrics and her life story. The tune is all about a woman getting out of prison and taking off to be with her lover.
Did Taylor Swift Write a Song About Gypsy Rose Blanchard?
For fans who don’t know, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released after spending seven years behind bars. She immediately took off with her husband, Ryan Anderson, whom she married while she was incarcerated. However, just a few months after her release, the couple called it quits. She’s quickly reconnected with her former boyfriend. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift hasn’t said anything about using Gypsy as a muse.
However, many fans have noticed the similarities between the song and Gypsy’s life as well. “How do people listen to ‘fresh out the slammer’ without relating it to Gypsy Rose. I can’t unsee it,” one person tweeted. “She wrote ‘Fresh Out The Slammer’ for Gypsy Rose,” another commented.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is still holding out hope that she’ll be able to meet Taylor Swift in person one day. Maybe then she’ll ask her if the song was inspired by her.
