Taylor Swift rarely fights in public. Instead, she takes shots via her music. On “Actually Romantic,” the seventh track from Swift's new album The Life of a Showgirl , the biggest pop star in the world seemingly takes a dig at none other than Charli XCX.
Many outlets, including The Guardian and the Los Angeles Times , believe that Swift's song, co-written with Max Martin and Shellback , is a diss track aimed at the Brat songwriter. The song's title, “Actually Romantic,” seems to be referencing the Charli XCX song “everything is romantic" off her critically acclaimed and Grammy-winning album Brat . But while both titles share a word, other believe Swift's track is a direct response Charli's song “sympathy is a knife,” rumored to have been partially inspired by Swift.
