In 2023, Charli XCX announced her engagement to George Daniel, the drummer of 1975, when Swift was romantically linked with the band’s lead singer, Matty Healy
Charli XCX and Taylor Swift are supposedly at odds, but Taylor Swift is dispelling such rumors. The internet has been ablaze with rumors that the third track on the latter’s most recent album, Brat, Sympathy is a Knife, was directed against the Cruel Summer hitmaker. The pop singer, 34, appeared to refute the allegations in a statement that was released on Monday and appeared in New York Magazine.
Taylor Swift praises Carli XCX amid feud rumours
Charli XCX, actual name Charlotte Emma Aitchison, performs the dance/electronic song, “This one girl taps my insecurities/ Don’t know if it’s real or if I’m spiralling.” Despite their seeming obscure nature, many people believed the lyrics were directed at Swift. Fans thought the 32-year-old English singer may be criticizing the Blank Space hitmaker, especially after the second stanza.
The lines, “Don’t wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show/ Fingers crossed behind my back, I hope they break up quick,” have subsequently led Swifties to believe that the Midnights crooner is the target of the song. Charli XCX revealed in 2023 that she was engaged to George Daniel, the drummer from 1975. Matty Healy, the band’s lead vocalist, and Swift were romantically associated at the same time.
The Love Story hitmaker, however, appeared to put an end to rumors of their purported conflict when she said in a recent statement, “Since I first heard “Stay Away” in 2011, I’ve been blown away by Charli’s melodic sensibilities.” “She always writes in a fantastical and creative style. She just transports a song to unexpected locations, and she has been doing it regularly for more than 10 years. Swift continued, “I love to see hard effort like that pay out.
