Charli xcx has recently sparked speculation on social media with a mysterious video amidst swirling rumors of a rift with Taylor Swift. Fans of Swift, known as Swifties, have been buzzing about the possibility that Taylor’s latest song, “Actually Romantic,” may contain references to the British popstar.
Despite the alleged controversy, Charli seems unfazed as she was spotted back in the studio, reportedly working on her upcoming album. In a post shared on October 5, Charli posted a brief video from inside a recording studio where she was seen alongside a sound engineer. The clip showcased various string instruments creating a crescendo of sound, ending with two quick notes.
While Charli’s post hinted at new music in the making, she kept details sparse, simply captioning the video with a heart emoji. Although fans are speculating about her next album, no official confirmation has been released yet.
Regarding the rumored feud with Taylor Swift, it is believed to have originated from Charli’s song “Sympathy is a Knife” on her recent album, Brat. In the song, Charli sings about not wanting to encounter someone backstage at her partner’s show, hinting at a possible connection to Taylor’s past relationship with Matty Healy, who is Charli’s husband’s bandmate in The 1975.
Charli has addressed the rumors, emphasizing that the song reflects her personal experiences and emotions, rather than targeting any specific individual. Despite the speculations and social media chatter surrounding the alleged feud, Charli has not directly commented on the matter since Taylor’s album release.
Fans on social media have been buzzing about Taylor’s track, with some praising it as a clever diss song. Despite the online frenzy, Charli has remained focused on her music endeavors.
