If you believed the rumors of a feud between Charli XCX and Taylor Swift, the two are speaking out without directly addressing the rumors. Some fans believed “Sympathy Is a Knife” from Charli's hit album Golf club It's about Taylor Swift.
“It’s really hard to be an artist, especially a female artist, where you’re pitted against your peers, but you’re also expected to be best friends with everyone.” Charli made it clear before the album’s release that there were no offensive songs on Golf clubbesides “Von Dutch.” “And if you’re not, you’re considered a bad feminist.” But we did see a song about Lorde that received 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 MagazineTaylor told the magazine: “I’ve been blown away by Charli’s melodic sensibilities ever since I first heard ‘Stay Away’ in 2011. Her writing is surreal and inventive, always. She 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 seeing that hard work pay off.”
Taylor has seen Charli's work firsthand, when Charli opened for the Reputation Tour. When asked if she regretted the lyrics that made most fans think “Sympathy” was about Taylor, she simply said no and that she had no problem playing along with the silence game and letting the interview get awkward.
