Reacting to the song on X, one person wrote: “i actually feel genuinely sad for charli. this is just such a hurtful thing to do…to be the biggest pop star in the world & call an industry peer a cokehead bc she wrote a vulnerable & beautiful piece of music abt how she respects u so much that she feels small in a room w/ you.”
Another viral tweet reads: “charli wrote a song about her self worth and her struggles with comparing herself to other women in industry but ofc taylor missed the whole point and made this ‘shady af comebacks’ ass song…this is so embarrassing for her actually why are you acting like this at 35…”
And one more added: “charli wrote a nuanced track that actually delved into the complex emotions of being compared to more successful women in the industry and then being forced into close proximity to them and feeling sad about it. taylor wrote a shitty diss track because she missed the point.”
While one more lightened the mood by quipping: “i think charli would say that to her face sober.”
