This paper presents a second-order linearized finite difference scheme for the nonlinear time-fractional fourth-order reaction-diffusion equation. The temporal Caputo derivative is approximated by $L2$-$1_\sigma$ formula with the approximation order of $\mathcal{O}(\tau^{3-\alpha}).$ The unconditional stability and convergence of the proposed scheme are proved by the discrete energy method. The scheme can achieve the global second-order numerical accuracy both in space and time. Three numerical examples are given to verify the numerical accuracy and efficiency of the difference scheme.
