In a revealing new interview, British pop icon Charli XCX has finally addressed the swirling rumours about her studio session with global superstar Taylor Swift, putting to rest years of fan speculation about a potential musical collaboration.
The Cambridge-born artist confirmed that while she did indeed work with Swift during the 1989 era, the session was purely for songwriting purposes rather than recording a duet. "We wrote a song together," Charli disclosed, though she remained tight-lipped about whether the track will ever see the light of day.
The Truth Behind the Studio Meeting
Charli provided rare insight into what actually transpired during her time with Swift, describing the experience as "really fun" and praising Taylor's creative process. The session took place during one of pop music's most exciting periods, when both artists were pushing boundaries in the genre.
Despite the productive session, Charli made it clear that there was never any discussion about her featuring on a Taylor Swift track. "It was just a writing session," she emphasised, adding that she has "no idea" if the song they created will ever be released.
Fan Theories vs. Reality
For years, Swifties and Charli XCX fans alike have speculated about the nature of the artists' relationship and whether they had recorded music together. The rumours intensified as both women continued to dominate the pop landscape with their distinctive styles.
Charli's candid comments finally provide clarity on the situation, separating fact from fiction in one of pop music's most persistent collaboration rumours. Her revelation comes as she prepares to release new music of her own, reminding fans that not every studio session results in a public release.
What This Means for Future Collaborations
While this particular session may not have produced a released track, Charli didn't rule out future collaborations with Swift or other major artists. Her openness about the process offers a fascinating glimpse into how pop stars work behind the scenes, often creating music that fans never get to hear.
The revelation also highlights how common such writing sessions are in the music industry, with artists frequently coming together to experiment creatively without the pressure of producing a final product for public consumption.
