"The line, of course, is a nod to the 106-year-old restaurant legend smack-dab in the heart of Hollywood, The Musso & Frank Grill, famous for its ice-cold martinis and its grilled steaks and chops. The restaurant itself has been a mainstay for celebrities since its early days and has remained one of the entertainment industry's most visited (and most talked-about) restaurants for generations. Old Hollywood stars like Charlie Chaplin first frequented the restaurant;"
"The song, which is about Swift and the fleeting nature of fame, also has the artist singing things like "Hollywood hates me. You're only as hot as your last hit, baby." How often Swift herself actually goes to Musso & Frank is unknown, but she has been seen over the years at places like Sushi Park, a West Hollywood strip mall Japanese restaurant similarly frequented by celebrities. More recent trips to LA have led her and fiancé Travis Kelce to classic spots like Spago and Madeo."
Taylor Swift released her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, and included a lyric that references Musso & Frank Grill. The lyric mentions hitting the "best booth" at Musso and Frank's, linking the song to the restaurant's long celebrity history. Musso & Frank Grill is 106 years old, known for martinis, grilled steaks, and a roster of famous patrons. Charlie Chaplin frequented the restaurant and has a dedicated corner table often called the best booth; Elizabeth Taylor also dined there in Hollywood's golden era. The song frames fame as fleeting, and Swift has been seen at Sushi Park, Spago, and Madeo, sometimes with fiancé Travis Kelce.
