Actually Romantic Video (MV)




The seventh track, "Actually Romantic", was interpreted by critics as a diss responding to British singer Charli XCX's Sympathy Is a Knife (2024), which is allegedly about Swift.
-Wikipedia

A spiritual follow-up to Tortured Poets' thanK you aIMee, Swift's Showgirl-era diss track is the most deliciously unhinged track of the album. Much like "thanK you aIMee," she stays away from straightforward disdain, instead dressing in gratitude and, in this case, romantic ramblings that the unnamed subject - although fans have already speculated who this one might be about - would spend so much time thinking about Swift. "I heard you call me 'boring Barbie' when the coke's got you brave" just might be the most wild Swift song opener, but the bridge, of course, is where she shines. "It's kind of making me wet," just might be the most jaw-dropping Swift lyric ever. -hollywoodreporter.com

Taylor Swift - Actually Romantic Lyrics




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 sayin' it makes you sick to see my face
+
Some people might be offended
+
But it's actually sweet
+
All the time you've spent on me
+
It's honestly wild
+
All the effort you've put in
+
It's actually romantic
+
I really gotta hand it to you, ooh
+
No man has ever loved me like you do
+
Hadn't thought of you in a long time
+
But you keep sending me funny valentines
+
And I know you think it comes off vicious
+
But it's precious, adorable
+
Like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse
+
That's how much it hurts
+
How many times has your boyfriend said
+
"Why are we always talkin' 'bout her?"
+
It's actually sweet
+
All the time you've spent on me
+
It's honestly wild
+
All the effort you've put in
+
It's actually romantic
+
I really gotta hand it to you, ooh
+
No man has ever loved me like you do
+
You think I'm tacky, baby
+
Stop talking dirty to me
+
It sounded nasty, but it
+
Feels like you're flirting with me
+
I mind my business, God's my witness that I don't provoke it
+
It's kind of making me wet (Oh)
+
'Cause it's actually sweet
+
All the time you've spent on me (Ah)
+
It's honestly lovely
+
All the effort you've put in (Ah)
+
It's actually romantic
+
Really gotta hand it to you, to you
+
No man has ever loved me like you do
+
It's actually romantic
+
(You've just given me so much attention
+
(la-la-la-la)
+
It's actually romantic
+
(It's so) Romantic
+
