Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” is generating buzz, especially around one track titled “Actually Romantic.” Fans speculate that the lyrics target fellow pop star Charli XCX, igniting discussions across social media platforms. The song’s release coincides with the album dropping on October 3, 2024.
Speculations on “Actually Romantic”
Swifties are analyzing a particular lyric from “Actually Romantic.” The line, “I heard you call me ‘Boring Barbie’ when the coke’s got you brave,” has been interpreted as a direct reference to Charli. This speculation arises from Charli’s own lyrics about substance use, particularly her widely discussed song “365” from the album “Brat.”

Background of Taylor Swift and Charli XCX
The relationship between Swift and Charli XCX has evolved over the years. Charli opened for Swift during the 2018 Reputation Tour, where they performed together.

Charli is now married to George Daniel, Healy’s bandmate, adding complexity to their dynamic.

Fans have also drawn connections between Charli’s track “Sympathy is a Knife” and potential themes aimed at Swift. Charli addressed these rumors in a TikTok video, emphasizing that her music engages with the complexities of female artistry rather than targeting specific individuals. Despite this clarification, interest persists.
