Taylor Swift<\/strong>\u2019s album announcement on the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast reportedly overshadowed\u00a0Meghan Markle<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Netflix push, and the latter was not happy about it. According to a recent report, the Duchess of Sussex expected the second season of \u201cWith Love, Meghan\u201d to command the news cycle following its Tuesday release. Instead, Swift\u2019s \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl<\/a>\u201d reveal dominated online conversation.<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle feels Taylor Swift\u2019s album announcement dampened her Netflix plans<\/p>\n

Racking up over 167 million views in 24 hours, Taylor Swift appeared on the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast to announce her upcoming album. In an\u00a0exclusive report<\/a>\u00a0by Rob Shuter, Meghan Markle believed Swift diverted the conversation toward herself. While Markle expected the release of \u201cWith Love, Meghan\u201d Season 2 to dominate the media, Swift\u2019s album announcement became the talk of the internet.<\/p>\n

A source claimed, \u201cMeghan thought her trailer would own the news cycle.\u201d They added, \u201cThen Taylor\u2019s announcement came in like a wrecking ball. Meghan\u2019s convinced it wasn\u2019t just bad luck.\u201d Shuter\u2019s report added that the rollout landed amid a challenging backdrop for the Sussexes\u2019 media ventures. Reportedly, Netflix has shifted the couple\u2019s widely publicized $100 million pact into a more modest \u201cfirst look\u201d deal.<\/p>\n

The \u201cWith Love, Meghan\u201d\u00a0trailer\u00a0itself was released with limited promotion. It drew limited engagement and appeared with Instagram comments turned off. An insider told Shuter, \u201cShe saw this as her comeback moment, then Taylor took all the oxygen out of the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, the timing could post further complications. Shuter noted palace gossip that\u00a0Markle\u2019s planned holiday special may overlap with the Princess of Wales\u2019 \u201cTogether at Christmas\u201d concert. Hence, this would risk another round of competing royal coverage. \u201cShe\u2019s trying to spin it as unfortunate timing,\u201d the source claimed, adding, \u201cBut Meghan likes being the headline. This week, she wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Meghan Markle, the stakes with her Netflix release remain high. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift\u2019s album announcement on the\u00a0\u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast<\/a>\u00a0demonstrated her capacity to command media attention.<\/p>\n
