Fans have been left convinced Charli XCX made a veiled attack on Taylor Swift during her Saturday Night Live performance stepping out in a Kansas City T-shirt
The alleged feud between Charli XCX and Taylor Swift has been rumbling in the background for some time, with their fans at loggerheads as recently as last year. This comes after the Brat hitmaker was in line to reach the number one spot in the charts until Taylor, 35, decided at the last minute to re-release her song, The Tortured Poets Department.
And now, fans are speculating whether Charli XCX made a veiled dig at Taylor during her impromptu appearance on Saturday Night Live. The 33-year-old singer joined artist Role Model as he performed his hit song Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.
During his performance, he shouted out, “where’s my Sally tonight?” And it was at this point the singer made her way out on to the stage wearing a black mini skirt and a matching t-shirt that read “Max’s Kansas City.”

And so now, fans have been left wondering if her top was in reference to Taylor’s fiancé Travis Kelce who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. This comes after many believed that Taylor’s song Actually Romantic from her The Life of a Showgirl album, was a diss track aimed at the Brat star.
Taking to social media one person wrote: “Charli and Role Model just owned SNL!” Another said Taylor would be “screaming into her pillows”, following Charli’s cameo appearance.
While speculation of a re-ignited feud was circulating the internet, a few well-informed fans set the record straight. One person said: “Role Model’s 2024 album is called Kansas Anymore and the shirt actually references a bar at 213 Park Ave in NYC.”
Meanwhile another person simply posted a picture of Role Model wearing the exact same t-shirt during a separate segment of the show.
But it seemed that some were still keen on an ongoing feud. Another person took to X and said: “No one cares that it’s his merch. She knew exactly wtf she was doing and how she could used it as shade but also play it off if brought up. It’s weird fan behavior.”
It wasn’t that long ago Taylor was singing Cahrli XCX’s praises. And Charli was forced to take to TikTok and clear up rumours that there were diss tracks on her Brat album.
She said at the time: “I’m seeing online that some people think there are diss tracks on Brat. I just wanted to come on here and clarify that there aren’t. he tracks in question aren’t diss tracks, they’re really just about how it’s so complicated being an artist, especially a female artist, where you are pitted against your peers but also expected to be best friends with every single person constantly, and if you’re not, you’re, like, deemed a bad feminist.”
She added: “And that, to me, is such an unrealistic expectation. So yeah, these songs are about as a woman, as an artist, some days you can feel on top of the world, some days you can feel unbelievably insecure.”
She continued: “Other days you can feel highly competitive, some days you can feel like literal trash, and it’s really emotional and complicated to deal with, and you’re not supposed to talk about it, but these songs do talk about it. And I’ll probably be chastised for that.”
