Charli XCX's latest album, BRAT, has garnered critical acclaim, yet it has also reignited rumors of a feud with Taylor Swift. Despite having opened for Taylor on her Reputation tour, Charli's new track, "Sympathy Is A Knife," has fans speculating about a possible diss aimed at Taylor. The lyrics, “Don’t wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show, Fingers crossed behind my back, I hope they break up quick,” hint at tension, possibly referring to Taylor's past relationship with Matty Healy, the lead singer of The 1975, a band that includes Charli's fiancé, George Daniel. The intrigue deepens as George co-wrote several tracks on Charli's album, potentially stirring the pot further.
Charli's fans have voiced their frustration with Taylor, particularly after Charli's album debuted at number two, just behind Taylor's re-released album. Critics have accused Taylor of strategically dropping new versions of her album to dominate the charts, a move they see as overshadowing other artists' successes. Fans took to social media, branding Taylor a "greedy capitalist" and accusing her of undermining other female artists. This sentiment has fueled the ongoing narrative of a feud, with many feeling that Charli's creativity and achievements deserve more recognition.
The tension between the two artists isn't entirely new. In 2019, after supporting Taylor on tour, Charli made a comment about performing for Taylor's young fanbase, which sparked backlash from Taylor's followers. Charli later clarified her remarks, explaining that performing for a different demographic was a unique experience that required a new kind of energy. Despite the explanations and attempts to quell the rumors, the perceived rivalry between Charli XCX and Taylor Swift continues to captivate fans and media alike, adding another layer of intrigue to Charli's rising success with BRAT.
