Addison Rae has weighed into the rumours of a feud between Taylor Swift and Charli xcx, providing a super vague statement that might just require some Swiftie-level decoding.
ICYMI, Taylor and Charli have been at the centre of feud rumours since 2024, when the latter singer seemingly referenced Swift on her brat track “Sympathy is a knife”.
Taylor followed suit earlier this year with “Actually Romantic”, which featured on her album The Life of a Showgirl and was taken by many fans as a diss towards Charli.
Neither pop star has addressed the speculation beyond some cryptic comments, but Addison — a friend and collaborator of Charli’s — has now joined the fray.
“I guess we’ll have to see,” Addison said when asked by the Los Angeles Times whether she felt the need to pick a side in the Charli/Taylor beef.
“But there’s so much more to all these things. There are people that do weird things, and I try to avoid those people,” Addison said.
The interviewer (thankfully) dug deeper into the “weird things” Addison mentioned, with the singer saying that pop star rivalries are sometimes born behind the scenes.
“This can be behind the scenes as well — producers and drama in writing and ideas and back-end conversations,” Addison said.
The “Diet Pepsi” singer went on to mention a mystery songwriter she had parted ways with way back when, only to discover that the songwriter had begun working with someone else and that their music “sound[ed] similar” to her own.
“Then all of a sudden, this person had gone and worked with someone else, and things were sounding similar. The timeline of it all was very confusing and interesting,” Addison recalled.
For all you nosey folks (it’s me, I’m the nosey folks), Addison stopped short of revealing the songwriter, saying it’s something she’s “never talked about”.
While she refused to get into the “nitty-gritty” deets of both that story and the rumoured Charli/Taylor feud, Addison did address fans’ obsession with pop girl rivalries more broadly.
“It doesn’t have to be a thing, but I get it — it’s entertaining. Historically, there’s always been this friendly or maybe unfriendly competition between people,” Addison said.
“I think it’s a very natural human thing to want to exceed a standard that someone else has laid out. I’m not really interested in it for myself,” she added.
Addison collaborated with Charli on the remix version of her song “Von dutch”, while Charli joined Taylor as the opening act of her 2018 tour.
The shared history seemingly played a role in the feud that erupted this year, but without an official statement for either party, all we can run on is vague comments like Addison’s.
If we’re lucky, maybe they can all work it out on the remix.
