water lately. Something that&#8217;s making everyone&#8230; unhinged. Combative. This past week, beefs have broken out among pop&#8217;s A-list signaling that the era of playing it cool and even subtweeting is over. On Tuesday, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj reignited their years-long feud on X with direct barbs (no pun intended) that quickly, and disturbingly, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/article\/nicki-minaj-cardi-b-feud-explained.html\">escalated<\/a> into territory about their family and children. Now it seems something could be brewing among two other players of music&#8217;s elite class: Taylor Swift and Charli xcx.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            On Thursday, leaked and unverified <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/certifiedlvrbri\/status\/1973590184928411788\/photo\/1\">photos<\/a> of alleged lyrics from Swift&#8217;s song &#8220;Actually Romantic,&#8221; off her upcoming album <i>The Life of a Showgirl<\/i> that&#8217;s dropping on Friday, began circulating online.

And then there&#8217;s a party drug-focused call out that also feels pointed: &#8220;I heard you called me &#8216;boring Barbie&#8217; when the coke&#8217;s got you brave.&#8221; But one of the more convincing lines of connection lies in the song title itself: &#8220;Actually Romantic&#8221; \u2014 a real, confirmed <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DO_pGo5jjoj\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=2\">title<\/a> on Swift&#8217;s album.  Squint and you could read it as a reference to Charli xcx&#8217;s popular <i>brat<\/i> track &#8220;Everything&#8217;s Romantic.&#8221; Of course, take all of this with a heavy grain of salt.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274563\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Charli xcx - Sympathy is a knife (official lyric video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S9s4Ckt-aKo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274562\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            Depending on the validity of these lyrics, &#8220;Actually Romantic&#8221; could be one of the more scathing tracks Swift&#8217;s written in her career joining the ranks of &#8220;Vigilante Shit,&#8221; &#8220;This Is Why We Can&#8217;t Have Nice Things,&#8221; &#8220;Look What You Made Me Do,&#8221; and &#8220;thanK you aIMee&#8221; (famously speculated to be about Kim Kardashian). But there is some merit to the idea that Swift could be writing to the &#8220;360&#8221; singer.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Charli xcx&#8217;s fans have long speculated that the <i>brat<\/i> track &#8220;Sympathy is a Knife&#8221; is about Swift. On the song, Charli sings about someone who makes her self-conscious when she sees them &#8220;backstage at my boyfriend&#8217;s show,&#8221; and that she hopes they &#8220;break up quick&#8221; with their boyfriend. (As a side note, it&#8217;s amusing to think that so much of Swift and Charli&#8217;s interactions could&#8217;ve been filtered solely through their boyfriends.) That song, however, is less of an outright diss and focuses more about managing insecurities especially when you&#8217;re surrounded by the upper echelon of celebrities.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Charli xcx herself said in an interview with <i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/charli-xcx-interview-brat-summer-fall-kamala-harris.html\">New York Magazine<\/a><\/i> that there are no diss tracks on <i>brat<\/i>. And in the same article, Swift herself praised Charli, telling <i>NY Mag<\/i>: \u201cI\u2019ve been blown away by Charli\u2019s melodic sensibilities since I first heard \u2018Stay Away\u2019 in 2011. Her writing is surreal and inventive, always. She just takes a song to places you wouldn\u2019t expect it to go, and she\u2019s been doing it consistently for over a decade. I love to see hard work like that pay off.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Should those lyrics of &#8220;Actually Romantic&#8221; ring true things have clearly changed in the Swift camp. On Friday, I guess the world will find out for sure.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Steffanee Wang<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
