The pop star and the Swedish producer connected on her 2012 LP, “Red.” They’ve reunited (with his collaborator Shellback) for “The Life of a Showgirl.”

Taylor Swift has dropped her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” and the hottest topic among many online is the song “Actually Romantic.” The seventh track on the new album has led to widespread speculation that Swift is dissing fellow pop star Charli xcx.

The first music video from Taylor Swift's 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl', is finally here. Directed by Swift, 'The Fate of Ophelia' delivers on the glitz and glamour of the album's title.

You don’t have to be a Swiftian scholar to interpret this as a direct riposte to Charli’s song “Sympathy is a Knife,” on which the Brat singer appears to allude to feeling uncomfortable around Swift when she was dating The 1975’s Matty Healy. Charli’s now-husband, George Daniel, is the band’s drummer.

The researchers suggest that these changes reflect Swift’s desire to be part of those communities. “I was one of those people who thought of dialects mainly as reflecting where you come from, but they obviously also reflect what kind of community you want to be a part,” says Winn.
