According to Taylor Swift, her latest song "Actually Romantic" is about realizing someone has had a "one-sided, adversarial relationship" with her that she was unaware of. The track appears to hint at a feud between Swift and Charli XCX, who opened for the singer on her Reputation tour in 2018.
In the song, Swift sings about her ex being "ghosted" and someone writing a song saying they're "sick to see" her face. She interprets this as the other person resenting her and making her a "big part of their reality" without her knowledge. Swift sees this as "actually pretty romantic" in a twisted way.
The discord between Swift and Charli XCX has been speculated by fans for years, though the two have never publicly addressed any issues. With the release of "Actually Romantic," Swift seems to be shedding light on the situation from her perspective.
