The lyrics for Taylor Swift’s Actually Romantic include, “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/ Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face/ Some people might be offended”
Taylor Swift had a brief relationship with 1975 lead singer Matty Healy in 2023. At the same time, Charli XCX was dating the band’s drummer, George Daniel, who is not her boyfriend.
