Taylor Swift Shares She is ‘Blown Away’ By ‘Surreal and Inventive’ Charlie XCX; Says She Loves to See ‘Hard Work Like That Pay Off’

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for the music industry and its intricacies, I must say that it’s always refreshing to witness such camaraderie among artists, especially when they have been misconstrued by the media. Taylor Swift‘s gracious words about Charlie XCX in her New York Magazine interview serve as a reminder that behind every catchy tune and glamorous stage presence lies an artist pouring their heart and soul into their craft.


The controversy surrounding the supposed disagreement between singers Taylor Swift and Charlie XCX appears to have been put to rest. In a recent article from New York Magazine, Swift opens up about her views on Charlie XCX, who has garnered significant attention in the music world following the launch of her sixth album, “BRAT.”

Since the first time I heard ‘Stay Away’ by Charli in 2011, her melodic abilities have left me astonished. Her songwriting is dreamy and original, consistently so. As Charli shared with the media outlet, she and Taylor Swift go way back – Charli even opened for Swift during her 2018 Reputation World Tour. Swift praised Charli, saying, “She takes a song to unexpected places, and she’s been doing this for over a decade. It’s wonderful to see dedication like that bearing fruit.”

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but notice the speculations surrounding the apparent tension between two individuals. This perceived conflict seems to have been ignited by one of Charlie’s songs from the album Brat, titled “Sympathy is a Knife.” In this song, Charlie speaks directly to an unnamed person, delving into her own feelings of insecurity. Lyrics such as “I don’t wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show, Fingers crossed behind my back, I hope they break up quick,” have led many to believe that this refers to a time when Taylor Swift was dating Matty Healy from The 1975. It’s important to mention that Charlie’s bandmates George Daniel and Matty are in fact engaged to each other.

When discussing the topic, the singer from Apple clarified that the focus of her song was not targeted by the media as some might perceive. She expressed that people are free to interpret the song as they wish, but in reality, it explores her deepest emotions and insecurities, revealing situations that make her question herself.

One of the most iconic moments from her latest release was her collaboration with Lorde, another contemporary musician. The remix of the track Girl, So Confusing featuring Lorde reflects on the complicated relationship shared by the two artists.
