"Taylor goes for the jugular," Perez Hilton reacted to the rumored discord between Taylor Swift and Charli XCX

Perez Hilton, who called himself "Day One Swiftie," shared his detailed review of all tracks of The Life of a Showgirl in his October 3 podcast. Hilton seemed excited while sharing his thoughts on Actually Romantic, which he described as "aka the song about Charli XCX."

Before delving into the lyrics of Actually Romantic, Hilton pointed out that Charli has a song titled Everything Is Romantic in her Grammy-winning album Brat, and now Swift has released Actually Romantic. He added that a "lot of people thought" that Charli XCX took a dig at the Blank Space singer in one of the Brat's songs, Sympathy Is a Knife. He highlighted the lyrics of the song, which read,

"I don't want to share this space. I don't want to force a smile. This one girl taps my insecurities. Don't know if it's real or if I'm spiraling... Don't want to see her backstage at my boyfriend's show. Fingers crossed behind my back. I hope they break up quick."

He noted that the song came at a time when Taylor Swift was dating the 1975 frontman Matty Healy. Hilton added that Charli XCX's now-husband, George Daniel, is also a member of the band. The pop culture podcaster said that Taylor Swift seemingly clapped back at the 365 singer with her new song.

"So in Actually Romantic, Taylor goes for the jugular. This is one of the most savage takedowns she's ever done. And she's done a lot," Hilton said.

The blogger then read the lyrics of Actually Romantic aloud while speculating on the alleged drama.

"I heard you call me boring Barbie when the Cokes got you brave. 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...And I know you think it comes off vicious. But it's precious, adorable, like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse. That's how much it hurts. How many times has your boyfriend said, 'Why are we always talking about her?' the lyrics read.

Perez Hilton said the song felt unlike anything Taylor Swift had done before.

Like Perez Hilton, many other people were convinced that Actually Romantic, in which Taylor Swift seemingly blasts an unnamed rival, was aimed at Charli XCX. However, the two singers had shared a friendly bond in the past, even performing together on multiple occasions. They have never spoken negatively about one another and, in fact, have often publicly praised each other.
