Meghan Markle is reportedly “not happy at all” that Taylor Swift chose the right time to release her new album, causing her Netflix trailer to be immediately overshadowed.

According to a source shared by royal expert Rob Shuter, Meghan Markle has high hopes for the trailer for season two of the Netflix series With Love, Meghan. Released on August 12, Meghan did not hide her excitement when writing on Instagram: “The best moments are meant to be shared. With Love, Meghan returns August 26 on Netflix.”

However, just a few hours later, singer Taylor Swift appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast to announce her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. The news quickly exploded on social media with over 167 million views in just 24 hours – a huge number that immediately brought all the attention to Taylor.

“Meghan thought the trailer would dominate the news cycle,” the source added. “But then Taylor came along like a bombshell, blowing away all the spotlight. Meghan believes this is more than just an unfortunate coincidence.”

Meghan Markle is said to have seen the trailer as a strong comeback after much controversy. But Taylor Swift’s surprise release of a new album at the same time took all the attention away from her. A source even commented: “She felt like all the air in the room was sucked out as Taylor took over the stage.”

With Love, Meghan’s second season will continue with eight episodes, airing simultaneously on Netflix – midnight US time and 8am in the UK. Like the first season, which premiered in March 2025, Meghan will appear alongside many famous friends, including model Chrissy Teigen, makeup artist Daniel Martin and author-speaker Jay Shetty.

If season one helped Meghan Markle make a splash in the entertainment industry, season two is clearly a gamble that she has high hopes for. But the coincidence with Taylor Swift has somewhat affected Meghan’s “comeback” this time, creating an inevitable comparison between two powerful symbols of Hollywood and the royal family.
