Fans believe that the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s eagerly awaited The Life of a Showgirl album may be about former partner Charli XCX.
With fans eagerly anticipating the release of Taylor Swift’s latest album, an apparent leak shows the star’s scathing lyrical outburst at a pop star – and fans think it’s about Charli XCX. Taylor’s The Life of a Showgirl album is only hours away and her loyal Swifties can’t wait.
Following The Tortured Poets Department, which topped the charts worldwide with its April 2024 release, it is her 12th studio album. After speaking with Swedish producer Max Martin in May 2024, Taylor previously admitted to working on the album while performing on her massive Eras Tour.
And according to apparent leaks, there is set to be a track titled Actually Romantic. In it, it’s thought that the Shake It Off singer, 35, has taken aim at Brat star Charli. It follows rumours the pair have been embroiled in a bitter feud due to Charli’s marriage to drummer of The 1975, George Daniel.

The incident is believed to have occurred while Taylor was briefly dating Matty Healy, the band’s frontman. And Taylor and Charli’s relationship is said to be sparked by her new song.
Some people believe that it’s Charli, who had previously opened her tour for her, in the first line of the alleged lyrics, which Taylor uses a swipe at. If the leak is accurate, Taylor sings, “I heard you called me “Born Barbie” when the coke made you brave.”
Taylor is also said to reportedly sing about how much time was spent on her and how she was “romantic.”
Fans speculated on social media that the song was about Charli, with one saying, “streets are saying Taylor Swift just dissed my wifey charli XCX.” Another person said, “Taylor Swift and Charli XCX have beef.” Another third person said, “This year cannot get any stranger than when Taylor Swift created a charli xcx diss track.”
Taylor had previously made a move to minimize any conflict between the two. She stated in a conversation with New York Magazine last year, “I’ve been blown away by Charli’s melodic sensibilities since I first heard “Stay Away” in 2011…
Her writing is always inventive and surreal. She has been performing songs consistently for more than ten years and takes them wherever you wouldn’t expect them to. I adore seeing the rewards of hard work.
However, she fires and shoots, as is commonly believed in most of Taylor’s songs, and never misses! Although the singer’s previous albums Folklore, Midnights, and The Tortured Poets Department included new recordings and later versions of some songs, the new album and all of its variations are scheduled to be released simultaneously.
Some fans believe that the album set to debut on Friday isn’t the only The Life Of A Showgirl we will see after she then sells extended versions of it.
Her latest album comes as Taylor and her NFL partner Travis Kelce confirmed their engagement this summer.
