October 22, 2025 — Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl track “Elizabeth Taylor” isn’t just a fan fave — it’s got the late icon’s son Christopher Wilding calling Swift and his mom “kindred spirits”. In a People interview, Christopher, 70, raved about the song’s “delightful” parallels to Elizabeth’s life, from her empowerment to chaotic glamour. Swift, inspired by Christopher’s clip comparing her to Elizabeth, penned the ode on the spot. As Showgirl dominates charts (4M first-week sales), Christopher’s praise cements Taylor’s Hollywood legacy. Here’s the full tribute tea, plus how to channel Elizabeth’s vintage glam for fall 2025 with shoppable picks.


Christopher — son of Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Wilding — told People he streamed “Elizabeth Taylor” on release day (Oct 3, 2025).
“She and my mom do seem like kindred spirits… both the very embodiment of female empowerment.”
He loved Swift’s nods to Elizabeth’s violet eyes, Portofino, and White Diamonds scent, calling it “especially magical.”
“Taylor Swift is an inspirational role model for her generation. Her advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights… would have garnered her great admiration from my mother.”
Swift got the idea from a clip her parents sent — Christopher comparing her to Elizabeth.
“I was so flattered… I immediately started talking to Travis [Kelce] about it.” — Swift on Pandora video
In Billboard, Swift shared she recorded the melody in her car, post-fangirl session with fiancé Travis.
