Taylor Swift praises Charli XCX and puts fan rumors of a feud to bed with her comments. Keep watching to see what the artists had to say.
Tetris Kelly:
“It’s so difficult being an artist, especially a female artist, where you’re pitted against your peers, but also expected to be best friends with every single person.” Charli made it clear before the album dropped that there weren’t any diss tracks on Brat, aside from “Von Dutch.” “And if you’re not, you’re deemed a bad feminist.” But we did see a song about Lorde get an epic remix.
While we don’t know if T-Swift will be on a remix of “Sympathy Is a Knife,” which Charli played for New York Magazine, Taylor told the mag, “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.”
Taylor’s seen Charli’s work firsthand, when Charli was an opener for the Reputation Tour. When asked if she regretted the lyric that made most fans think “Sympathy” was about Taylor, she simply said no, and she was OK playing the silent game and letting the interview get awkward.
