After initially believing it to be a diss track toward Charli XCX, Taylor Swift fans now have a theory to support her new song Actually Romantic.
Taylor Swift fans have changed their mind. Loyal Swifties have now claimed a new tune from The Life Of A Showgirl is actually a diss track to Kim Kardashian and not Charli XCX as first speculated.
As the album continues to break records – which were also set by TayTay herself – her fans have continued their deep dive into the meaning of her songs. And none has had a bigger inspection than Actually Romantic.
Fans initially questioned the song’s depiction of former flame Charli, and the song’s merits came under scrutiny. However, it’s now been questioned as to whether it is really criticizing Kim Kardashian as the days progress.

It’s claimed a major clue in the song is going to reignite the long-running feud between the pair. They have been at loggerheads for over a decade with Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West previously being embroiled in a bitter war of words with the 35-year-old songstress.
According to some, Taylor’s feud with Kim in 2018 is the subject of the second verse of Actually Romantic. However, the lyrics read, “But you keep sending me funny Valentine’s Day cards, and I know you think it’s vicious,” but it’s precious and adorable.
Some listeners point out it could be a jibe towards Kim’s 2018 antics, in which she sent Valentine’s gifts to her “haters”. In an Instagram Story at the time, Kim, now 44, revealed Taylor had made the list of recipients.
Kim stated in the post at the time, “I made the decision that everyone deserves a Valentine’s Day.” Because Valentine’s Day is Valentine’s Day after all, I’m going to send them to my lovers, my haters, and everyone else I think of.
Despite claims it is a diss track and Swifties being divided on to who it is targeting, Taylor herself moved to explain the song. In an audio track-by-track breakdown of the new album for Amazon Music, the Shake It Off singer insisted exactly why she wrote the song.
She said it’s “about coming to terms with the fact that someone else has a somewhat antagonistic, one-sided relationship with you.”
She said: “And all of a sudden they start doing too much and they start letting you know that actually, you’ve been living in their head rent-free and you had no idea. It’s presenting itself as them sort of resenting you or having a problem with you but you take that and just accept it as love and you accept it as attention and affection, and how flattering that somebody has made you such a big part of their reality when you didn’t even think about this.
Taylor then stated, “If you really think about it, it’s actually pretty romantic.”
