In case you missed it, the two have been making headlines these past couple of weeks, after Swift released her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/a>, and seemingly directed one of the tracks\u2014\u201cActually Romantic\u201d<\/a>\u2014at Charli (the song is believed to be a response to Charli\u2019s track \u201cSympathy Is a Knife\u201d).<\/p>\n \u201cI heard you call me \u2018Boring Barbie\u2019 when the coke\u2019s got you brave. \/ High-fived my ex and then you said you\u2019re glad he ghosted me. \/ Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face. \/ Some people might be offended,\u201d Swift sings, eventually equating this unnamed singer\u2019s obsession to an infatuation. \u201cBut it\u2019s actually sweet \/ all the time you\u2019ve spent on me \/ It\u2019s honestly wild \/ all the effort you\u2019ve put in. \/ It\u2019s actually romantic \/ I really got to hand it to you. \/ No man has ever loved me like you do.\u201d<\/p>\n Charli XCX made a surprise appearance during Role Model\u2019s set on Saturday Night Live. NBC – Getty Images<\/p>\n Charli, who has remained mum on the situation, sent social media into a frenzy when she joined indie pop singer Role Model on stage during SNL on October 11\u2014and the controversy was all thanks to a T-shirt.<\/p>\n During her cameo in Role Model\u2019s performance of \u201cSally, When The Wine Runs Out,\u201d the Brat artist<\/a> wore a black leather miniskirt and matching knee-high boots paired with a graphic tee that read: \u201cMax\u2019s Kansas City.\u201d<\/p>\n For context, Max\u2019s Kansas City was a popular NYC nightclub in the late 20th century that was frequented by artists, politicians, and other prominent public figures. Of course, because SNL is filmed in the Big Apple, the shirt seemed to be a nod to her host city, while also seemingly winking to the title of Role Model\u2019s second studio album, Kansas Anymore.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that, in a promo clip released ahead of this weekend\u2019s episode, Role Model was seen wearing the exact same shirt, indicating that he likely lent it to Charli for the performance.<\/p>\n However, in the wake of the \u201cActually Romantic\u201d drama<\/a>, some fans believe the shirt might\u2019ve been a nod to Swift\u2019s fianc\u00e9, Travis Kelce<\/a>, who plays as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Perhaps, though, it was a peace offering? Swift announced her engagement to Kelce<\/a> just this past August, and her latest album was full of romantic (and saucy<\/a>) odes to the NFL star. Maybe Charli, who recently tied the knot<\/a> herself, was indicating her happiness for Swift and her beau.<\/p>\n Either way, you can rest assured that the rumor mill is going to run wild.<\/p>\n You Might Also Like<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.” Charli XCX made…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":120795,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[3030,18,117,19,17,11739,337,70505,8632,73647,973,122],"class_list":{"0":"post-120794","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-charli-xcx","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","14":"tag-music","15":"tag-role-model","16":"tag-studio-album","17":"tag-surprise-appearance","18":"tag-taylor-swift","19":"tag-travis-kelce"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"saturday](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/682d21d0ddc5a729bd54bbd319131cf7.jpeg\"\/)
