Appears to be like like followers had been improper — Charli XCX wasn’t shading Taylor Swift in any respect! She wasn’t even singing about her! Let’s rewind…
When Charli dropped Brat final week listeners acquired the thought her new tune Sympathy Is a Knife was all about Tay. See, the tune is about being round one other girl who she doesn’t get on with — somebody courting her man’s bandmate. She sings:
“Don’t wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend’s present / Fingers crossed behind my again / I hope they break up fast.”
Her fiancé, George Daniel, is in The 1975. She even namedrops him within the tune. So naturally people puzzled if she wrote it in that month Taylor was courting their frontman Matty Healy. Was she singing the traces “I couldn’t even be her if I attempted / I’m reverse, I’m on the opposite facet” about Tay? Was this her personal British rockstar model of You Belong With Me? LOLz!

Effectively, a supply instructed DeuxMoi it wasn’t about Tay AT ALL! On her Deux U podcast this week, she defined the insider truly messaged her weeks in the past to present her the lowdown, it simply didn’t make sense earlier than the tune dropped:
“Hey, heads up, when you begin getting questions if this tune is about Taylor, I simply wish to let you already know it’s not.”
Who’s it about?? The insider stated:
“It’s about one other actress that began hanging round, making an attempt to latch onto one other 1975 band member. However on the time he was courting another person, and she or he acquired him to step out. Him and stated actress are presently nonetheless courting, however clearly Charli wished they might break up.”
Gasp! That is manner juicier than Matty and Taylor’s story, because it seems! Simply not as well-known! Followers’ finest guesses primarily based on that information? They marvel if it was Chloe Bennet!
