The insider told Radar Online that, “Meghan’s convinced it wasn’t just her bad luck.”
Radar Online quoted the insider saying, “Meghan thought her trailer would own global headlines. Instead, all anyone talked about that day was Taylor’s new music.”

Another insider also shared that they quickly dismissed Markle’s thoughts on the situation. They said that Markle isn’t on the level where Taylor Swift would know or care about her Netflix series.
