Taylor Swift Shuts Down Charli XCX Feud Rumors in Rare Interview: ‘Her Writing Is Surreal’

Taylor Swift praised Charli XCX's songwriting skills and said she's 'blown away' by the singer, officially shutting down rumors that the two are feuding.

Her friend, Gabbriette Bechtel, revealed her engagement to the band’s frontman Matty Healy at a June 11 listening party for Charli’s new album Brat in Brooklyn, New York, which the newly betrothed couple attended. Gabbriette, 27, shared a photo of her black diamond engagement ring in an Instagram Story, writing over it, “MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT.” She also went on to appear in Charli’s music video for “360,” the second single off Brat. However, the “Speed Drive” singer later described the experience to Pitchfork in August 2019 as “getting up onstage and waving to 5-year-olds.” After the interview was published, Charli shared a note on social media saying she was “extremely grateful to Taylor” for inviting her to open on tour, and that there was “absolutely no shade and only love here.”
