Charli XCX dodges question about Taylor Swift feud

Charli XCX recently embraced a Taylor Swift-esque approach by choosing to “shake it off” when confronted with questions about their rumored feud. The speculation was reignited with the release of Swift’s track “Actually Romantic” from her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Charli XCX opted not to address the song, which many believe targets the ongoing tension between the two artists. The publication noted that Charli “declined to comment on the situation.”

The lyrics in “Actually Romantic” have sparked fan theories due to perceived connections to Charli XCX’s song “Everything is Romantic.” In the track, Swift, 35, sings, “Wrote me a song sayin’ it makes you sick to see my face,” a line that listeners think references the alleged rift.

Another line from Swift’s song, “I heard you call me ‘Boring Barbie’ when the coke’s got you brave,” has been interpreted by fans as an allusion to Charli’s rumored drug use.

In an audio introduction for Amazon Music, Swift described “Actually Romantic” as reflecting a “one-sided, adversarial relationship.” She further elaborated on this theme during her “The Life of a Showgirl” cinema experience, calling the track a “love letter to someone who hates you.”

Charli, 33, fueled feud speculation when she performed on “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend wearing a cropped T-shirt reading “Max’s Kansas City.”

Though the shirt is emblazoned with the name of a famous NYC nightclub where iconic artists and musicians have performed, many believed it was a subtle response to “Actually Romantic” — especially since Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Elsewhere in her Vanity Fair cover story, the Brat songstress seemingly threw shade at the “Cruel Summer” singer’s Monday announcement that she’d be releasing a six-episode documentary on her Eras Tour.  

She told the magazine that she nixed an idea to do her own tour documentary, saying she “felt the market was already saturated with similar projects.”

“I feel like my problem with a lot of musician documentaries is, it often shows the musician coming up against some kind of opposition and eventually overcoming it to be the hero,” Charli told writer Anna Peele.

“And that’s just not been my experience, you know? Maybe it has been a lot of other people’s, and that’s awesome.”

She added that she would instead star in a 2026 mockumentary about a pop star’s days leading up to her first headlining concert tour, called “The Moment.” Charli said it’s not a “tour documentary or a concert film in any way, but the seed of the idea was conceived from this idea of being pressured to make one.”

“It’s fiction, but it’s the realest depiction of the music industry that I’ve ever seen,” she explained.

The former pals toured together during Swift’s “Reputation” tour in 2018.
