Here’s the deal … everyone on the planet knows “The Life of a Showgirl” dropped last night … and there’s a song on it titled “Actually Romantic” … which Swifties are positive takes shots at Charli XCX.
Bear with us … in the track are the lyrics, “I heard you call me ‘Boring Barbie’ when the coke’s got you brave. High-fived my ex and then you said you’re glad he ghosted me. Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face.”
Swifties are convinced that’s a knock on Charli XCX … ’cause in her 2024 song “Sympathy is a Knife” on her album “Brat,” it was believed by fans that she threw swings at TS with the lyrics … “George says I’m just paranoid. Don’t wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show. Fingers crossed behind my back. I hope they break up real quick.”
The George in question there is obviously Charli’s now-husband, George Daniel — who is the drummer for The 1975 — and Taylor’s ex Matty Healyis the frontman. Plus, Swifties have pointed out “Actually Romantic” is the 7th track on ‘Showgirl’ … and Charli’s 7th track on “Brat” is “Everything is Romantic” … so it would be a hell of a coincidence.
Sure seems like these two are having a shootout … lyrically, of course.
