Not something I believe personally, but a headcanon for others to adopt.

If this is true, Sombra probably feels pretty stupid right about now.

Which is possible, this could simply be a would-be usurper who saw this as a chance to move up in the world. And it would explain why she was waiting for Twilight in the abandoned mines and how she knew what was going on. It’s a ridiculous headcanon, but it can be made to work if you really want it to.

One problem though, cadance was shown usign Hig level and even Alicorn level magic, and so far we don’t know if Changeling can even use basic levitation, advanecd magic should be completly out of their power.
 
Examples:  
  1. The love shield that defeated Chrysalis was basicly Cadance using her love to suprcharge Shining Armor.  
  2. The shield over The chystal empire. Shining can also cast a city whide shield - but this spell is his special talent, most unicorns will should not be able to match him in this regard.  
  3. The desease shield in three is a crowd.  
  4. Cadance fighting the Tetzulwurm - she was landing hits as strong as twilight.  
  5. In the season 4 finale we get direct confirmations that she have Alicorn level magic when the princesses transfere their magic to twilight.
     
    This theory could make an intresting “What if?” scenario, but it raises the question of “why whoul Chrysalis let Changeling Cadance to defeat her?”

Cool headcanon, but…
 
  • Why did she (assuming female x-ling) know that ridiculous chant with Twilight?  
  • -> Possible Answer: The whole thing was a setup to fool Twilight. Unlikely, but plausible.  
  • Why didn’t she change back when Tirek took her magic?  
  • How was she able to copy Cadance’s spell & aura? (when Chryssi couldn’t)

I did too, the real Cadence actually died in a train wreck way before Shining and her fell in love and the attack was the idea of a power hungry underling. Thus “Cadence” manipulated things to her advantage in order to both dispose of the troublesome underling and as an opportunity to disappear from her subjects so she could live as a pony.

Wait a tick… That means I’m single again!”

But again, why not do this in the first place?
 
Also, this means that Chrysalis gave up her Changeling magic when Tirek attacked, why didn’t she turn back?

What if Cadence was ALWAYS a changeling, but she forgot this after some accident happened after shapeshifting, which is why she has love-powers?

Unless that wasn’t Chrysalis that lost in the episode- it might have been a changeling that was supposed to first impersonate Cadence and THEN impersonate the Queen so that Chrysalis could get entrenched in a really good position and have exactly zero suspicion on her.

Then she’s doing a better job at impersonating Cadence than Chrysalis was. In which case, why didn’t Chrysalis do this in the first place? Unless it was so that they’d think the threat was passed, in which case why make a threat to Canterlot in the first place?
