"I heard you call me 'Boring Barbie' when the coke's got you brave / High-fived my ex, and then you said you're glad he ghosted me,"
"All of a sudden, they start doing too much. They start letting you know that actually, you've been living in their head rent-free, and you had no idea,"
"How flattering that someone has made you such a big part of their reality."
"I've been blown away by Charli's melodic sensibilities since I first heard 'Stay Away' in 2011,' Swift told the magazine. '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 Swift released 'Actually Romantic,' the seventh song on The Life of a Showgirl, that reframes perceived one-sided antagonism as flirtatious attention. The lyrics describe insults, public gestures, and a rival writing a song about disliking Swift, then reinterpret that fixation as a compliment. Swift explained the song concerns realizing someone maintained a one-sided adversarial relationship and then signaled that obsession publicly, calling it flattering. Fans interpret the track as a response to Charli XCX's 'Sympathy Is a Knife' from Brat. Swift previously praised Charli's songwriting in New York Magazine, while Charli's fans circulated rumors of a feud.
