Taylor Swift Fans Accuse Charli XCX of ‘Throwing Shade’ at Singer’s Engagement to Travis Kelce… After Feud Rumors Erupt Over ‘Diss Track’

**Charli XCX Appears to Slam Taylor Swift Over Engagement Ring After Being Allegedly Targeted in New Song**

*Published: October 7, 2025, 3:00 p.m. ET*

After reportedly being the subject of one of Taylor Swift’s new songs, Charli XCX seems to have delivered a savage response, RadarOnline.com reveals.

A recent post on X (formerly Twitter), featuring multiple pictures of Swift showing off her engagement ring from NFL star Travis Kelce, was captioned:
*“Idk guys, do you think she likes the ring?”*

### What Instagram Post Did Charli XCX Like?

An Instagram account reposted the X post and added their own commentary, insinuating that Kelce has been culturally appropriating aspects of Black culture.
The user wrote:
*“She captured his w—osity within the crystal on the ring. It’s a dew—–izing amulet.”*

Sharp-eyed fans noticed that Charli liked this Instagram photo, seemingly taking a jab at Swift, Kelce, and the engagement ring all at once. However, since the initial reports surfaced, Charli has removed her like from the post.

This has led to speculation that she may have accidentally liked the photo, then realized it and soon after unliked it.

### Swift’s Alleged Song About Charli XCX

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Taylor Swift’s new album *The Life of a Showgirl* appears to include a direct reference to Charli XCX in the track *Actually Romantic*.

At the beginning of the song, Swift sings:
*“I heard you call me ‘Boring Barbie’ when the coke’s got you brave.”*

Fans quickly speculated that this could be a pointed dig at Charli, who has been open about drug use in her own lyrics. For example, in Charli’s hit song *365*, she sings:
*“Should we do a little key? Should we have a little line?”*
She also references *“bumpin that,”* which many interpret as a nod to snorting cocaine.

Swift continues in *Actually Romantic*:
*“High fived my ex and then you said you’re glad he ghosted me.”*

### Charli XCX and Taylor Swift: A Complicated History

Before Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce, she dated Matty Healy, lead singer of The 1975. Charli XCX is married to George Daniel, the drummer of The 1975, putting her in close circles with Healy.

While Charli once opened for Taylor on the *Reputation* Tour in 2018 and performed alongside her during *Shake It Off*, their friendship appears to have cooled, potentially due to Charli’s growing closeness with Healy.

Charli’s 2024 cultural smash album *Brat* further fueled speculation about their strained relationship. Fans pointed to lyrics in the song *Sympathy Is a Knife* that seem to reference Swift:
*“This one girl taps my insecurities, don’t know if it’s real or I’m spiraling,”* she sings.
Later in the track, Charli adds:
*“Don’t wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show. Fingers crossed behind my back, I hope they break up quick.”*

### Charli XCX Dispels Rumors of a Diss Track

Charli addressed the rumors head-on in a TikTok video, clarifying there are no diss tracks on *Brat*:
*“I’m seeing online that some people think there are diss tracks on Brat, and I just wanted to come on here and clarify that there aren’t — apart from maybe ‘Von Dutch,’ which kind of is — but the other tracks in question aren’t diss tracks.”*

She elaborated:
*“They’re really just about how it’s so complicated being an artist, especially a female artist, where you are pitted against your peers but also expected to be best friends with every single person, constantly.”*

Swift, for her part, praised *Brat* in a 2024 interview, highlighting the mutual respect between the two artists despite the rumors.

### Where Do They Stand Now?

As of now, neither Taylor Swift nor Charli XCX has publicly confirmed any feud, leaving fans to speculate on their complicated relationship.
