UPDATE: Addison Rae has officially entered the ongoing feud rumors between Taylor Swift and Charli XCX, stirring excitement among fans with her cryptic remarks. During an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Rae hinted at deeper complexities behind the pop rivalry, suggesting that “people do weird things” in the music industry.
The feud between Swift and XCX appears to have originated in 2024 when Charli seemingly referenced Taylor in her track “Sympathy is a knife.” In retaliation, Swift’s song “Actually Romantic” from her album The Life of a Showgirl was interpreted by fans as a direct jab at Charli. While neither artist has confirmed the feud, their subtle digs have kept fans on high alert.
Addison Rae, who has collaborated with Charli on several projects, including the remix of “Von Dutch,” was asked about her stance in the Charli/Taylor conflict. “I guess we’ll have to see,” Rae stated, emphasizing the complexities of pop rivalries. “There’s so much more to all these things… I try to avoid those people,” she added, leaving fans eager for more details.
When pressed about “weird things,” Addison elaborated that behind-the-scenes drama often fuels these rivalries. She recounted a past experience where a songwriter she had worked with began to produce music that resembled hers after moving on to another artist. “The timeline of it all was very confusing and interesting,” Rae revealed, hinting at the cutthroat nature of the industry.
While she refrained from naming the mystery songwriter, Rae did express her understanding of fans’ fascination with pop rivalries. “It doesn’t have to be a thing, but I get it — it’s entertaining,” she noted. “Historically, there’s always been this friendly or maybe unfriendly competition.” Addison added that while she’s not interested in participating in rivalries, the competitive spirit is a natural human trait.
Charli XCX opened for Taylor Swift during her Reputation tour, adding layers to their shared history and the current feud speculation. As fans eagerly await a resolution, the lack of direct comment from either Taylor or Charli leaves the situation shrouded in mystery.
As this story continues to develop, fans and observers alike are left to decode the cryptic messages from these pop icons. Will these artists confront their differences, or will the rivalry continue to brew? Stay tuned for more updates on this captivating pop saga.
