It’s tough going at the moment trying to avoid talk of the new T*ylor Sw*ft album, and I just mean in my house – my teenage daughter won’t shut up about it. Four days into this uninvited onslaught and the main interesting takeaway seems to be the diss track that Swift has written about Charli XCX, Actually Romantic.
Quite why I'm so drawn to the idea that one pop star has written a whole song having a crack at another pop star is probably down to the fact that I am an immature middle-aged man who simply enjoys seeing two famous figures duking it out in public, much in the same way that Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s artistically-fruitful spat – the feud produced 11 songs from the pair in less than six months last year - was such an entertaining feast.
