**Leaked Taylor Swift Lyrics Spark Speculation of a Diss Track Targeting Charli XCX**
*October 2, 2025, Published 2:13 p.m. ET*
A day before Taylor Swift’s much-anticipated new album *The Life of a Showgirl* is officially released, leaked lyrics from a song titled *Actually Romantic* have fans buzzing with speculation that the track might be a diss aimed at Charli XCX.
The speculation arises partly because Charli’s 2024 album *Brat* features a song called *Everything Is Romantic*. Swift’s use of the word “Romantic” in her track title immediately caught listeners’ attention and raised eyebrows.
### What Did Taylor Swift Say That Fans Think Is About Charli XCX?
According to the leaked lyrics, the song allegedly opens with Swift crooning:
“I heard you call me ‘Boring Barbie’ when the coke’s got you brave.”
Fans believe this is a direct jab at Charli XCX, who has openly referenced drug use in her music. For example, on her hit song *365*, Charli asks:
“Should we do a little key? Should we have a little line?”
She also repeatedly mentions “bumpin’ that,” which listeners interpret as a reference to snorting cocaine.
Swift continues in the track with the line:
“High fived my ex and then you said you’re glad he ghosted me.”
Prior to her engagement to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift dated Matty Healy, the frontman of The 1975.
### Changes in Taylor Swift and Charli XCX’s Friendship
Charli XCX is married to George Daniel, The 1975’s drummer, which suggests she could have spent significant time around Matty Healy.
Swift and Charli’s friendship once seemed close — Charli opened for Swift on the 2018 Reputation Tour and even joined her onstage for a performance of *Shake It Off*. However, their relationship appears to have changed, possibly due to Charli growing closer to Healy.
When Charli released *Brat*, there was also speculation that a lyric from the song *Sympathy Is a Knife* was about Taylor Swift, as it says:
“This one girl taps my insecurities, don’t know if it’s real or I’m spiraling.”
### Charli XCX Denies Rumors of Diss Tracks on *Brat*
In May 2024, Charli addressed these rumors during a TikTok session, clarifying:
“I’m seeing online that some people think there are diss tracks on *Brat* and I just wanted to come on here and clarify that there aren’t — apart from maybe *Von Dutch*, which kind of is — but the other tracks in question aren’t diss tracks.”
She added:
“They’re really just about how it’s so complicated being an artist, especially a female artist, where you are pitted against your peers but also expected to be best friends with every single person, constantly.”
### Taylor Swift Complimented Charli XCX After *Brat*’s Release
Despite the rumors, Swift has spoken highly of Charli’s work. In a 2024 interview, Swift said:
“I’ve been blown away by Charli’s melodic sensibilities since I first heard *Stay Away* in 2011. Her writing is surreal and inventive, always. She just takes a song to places you wouldn’t expect it to go, and she’s been doing it consistently for over a decade. I love to see hard work like that pay off.”
Further highlighting cordial relations, Swift was seen dancing during Charli’s performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
### Current Status
As of now, neither Taylor Swift nor Charli XCX have commented publicly on the alleged diss track *Actually Romantic*.
Fans will no doubt be eagerly listening to *The Life of a Showgirl* upon its release to see if the rumors hold any truth.
