Charli Shares Sneak Peek of New Music Amid Taylor Swift Speculation

On October 5, 2025, pop singer Charli shared a sneak peek into her latest musical endeavors, posting a short video from the recording studio. The five-second clip featured several string instruments creating a gradual, swelling sound, followed by two quick notes.

Charli, whose full name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, offered little insight into the musical moment, simply captioning the post with a text-based heart. However, the video has sparked speculation among fans, who are analyzing the potential connection between Charli's 2024 track "Sympathy Is a Knife" and Taylor Swift's new song "Actually Romantic" from her recently released album The Life of a Showgirl.

As Swift's album continues to generate buzz, the lyrics to "Actually Romantic" have been interpreted as a response to Charli's previous work. The song's lines, "I heard you call me 'Boring Barbie' when the coke's got you brave" and "High-fived my ex and then you said you're glad he ghosted me / Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face," have led fans to believe there may be an underlying feud between the two artists.

Despite the speculation, Charli has remained tight-lipped about the potential diss track, choosing instead to offer a glimpse into her own creative process. As the music world continues to buzz with the latest developments, fans eagerly await to see how the story unfolds.
