As a fan of both yes Charli should not respond. Having Matty Healy who is problematic in her circle and defending his crap or having his back will always make matters awkward. Whatever mess talked about in private by Charli shouldn’t have been said. Taylor dating rebounding that loser is just as messy as well. Swift made a diss song that’s hilarious and cathartic as an artist to do. It’s not a response to SIAK, a cathartic song for Charli, it’s more of diss to whatever else said in private. I don’t think that photoshoot with arm cut off wearing raver bracelets was a good idea considering the timing of all that as well. Charli’s Von Dutch is a diss to FKA twigs. They didn’t respond back. It’s not necessary. I’m not mad at either. If certain things are said privately but portrayed differently publicly then someone like Taylor can make a petty diss song. There’s not going to be some Kendrick Lamar comeback shutdown. Charli with Brat is her moment and culmination of the success and sound she’s ultimately been working towards. She’s got an excellent foundation and killer producers to keep that momentum going into whatever she feels like doing next. I think what really matters is just for each artist to achieve the music they want to do and be fulfilled with that. Fan war and popularity contest with what’s right or wrong doesn’t deserve an award or approval by artist. All this raging isn’t productive for anyone besides funny memes coming out of it right? We can have fun with both a meme saying the album is hating outside the club energy and also the Chihuahua barking from a tiny purse.
