Taylor Swift fans have theorized that her song “Actually Romantic” is a diss track about Kim Kardashian thanks to a telling line in the second verse.
In the new song off of her record-breaking album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” Swift laments, “But you keep sending me funny valentines / And I know you think it comes off vicious / But it’s precious, adorable.”
Many fans are speculating that the Grammy winner, 35, is referring to when Kardashian, 44, sent Valentine’s Day gifts to her “haters” in 2018 and revealed the list of recipients on her Instagram Story at the time, which included Swift.
“I decided for this Valentine’s Day everyone deserves a Valentine,” she wrote in the post. “So I’m going to send them to my lovers, to my haters, to everyone that I think of because it’s Valentine’s Day after all.”
Other Swifties are convinced the song is a diss to Charli XCX and a callback to the British singer’s 2024 song “Everything is Romantic.”
There are some telling lyrics that fans think reference Charli like, “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.”
Fans called it a direct jab at the DJ since she’s been open about her alleged drug use in her music and is close friends with Swift’s ex boyfriend Matty Healy since her husband is Healy’s The 1975 bandmate.
If the new clue is about “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum, it wouldn’t be the first diss track Swift allegedly made about her.
On the singer’s 2024 album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” she wrote “thanK you aIMee” a song with scathing lyrics about a “bronze, spray-tanned” bully her mom “wish[es] were dead.”
To add more fuel to the fire, the capitalization in the track’s title spells the reality star’s first name, which fans immediately caught onto.
Swift then dropped a retitled version of ‘thank You aimEe’ seemingly aimed at Kardashian’s then-husband Kanye West, changing the capitalization to “thank You aimEe” which spells Ye, the name he now goes by.
Swift and Kardashian’s feud began in 2016 when West, 48, rapped about how he and the songwriter “might still have sex” because he “made that bitch famous.”
When the “Cruel Summer” singer publicly took issue with the lyrics, Kardashian released a phone call of Swift allegedly giving her approval — which Swift later claimed was “illegally recorded.”
The Skims co-founder also commented on their rivalry in an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” later that same year, telling mom Kris Jenner she “wanted to defend” her husband by leaking the phone call.
Swift reignited their feud in her Time magazine cover story in 2023 when she gave a candid quote about how the incident “took [her] down psychologically to a place [she’d] never been before.”
“I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”
Coincidentally, Kardashian’s Elizabeth Taylor docuseries was announced Friday, the same day Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” album, which includes the song “Elizabeth Taylor,” was released.
