British pop star Charli XCX, who’s rumoured to be feuding with Taylor Swift, went on a fiery rant on social media last night.

Charli XCX has seemingly confirmed she’s not feuding with Taylor Swift, despite recent suggestions on social media that pointed to otherwise.

It’s been rumoured for weeks that Charli’s song Sympathy is a Knife is a dig at Swift, however, the British singer has seemingly rejected those theories after jumping to defend the star at her concert last night.

The singer defended her fellow pop star after one Swiftie called attention to “toxic behaviour” during Charli’s Saturday show at ZIGclub in São Paulo, Brazil.

In a video shared to Twitter, fans could be heard chanting “A Taylor morreu,” which is Portuguese for “Taylor is dead.”

After seeing the tweet, Charli took to Instagram Stories to defend Taylor, and lash out at the fans who were choosing to make such wild remarks at her show.

“Can the people who do this please stop? Online or at my shows,” Charli wrote on the story.

“It is the opposite of what I want and it disturbs me that anyone would think there is room for this in this community. I will not tolerate it.”

It comes just a week after fans of Charli slammed Swift, accusing her of deliberately blocking Charli’s album Brat from climbing the charts by releasing bonus editions of her album.

Social media had suggested it’s because Swift is angry at Charli over the song that’s rumoured to be about her, while others have claimed it’s just because even the mere association with Matt Healy, whom is the bandmate of Charli’s fiance, is enough to get Swift riled up and vengeful.

“Taylor Swift is psycho, she’s the cancer of the music industry, seriously, never seen such a fame-hungry and stats-obsessed “artist” in my life,” ranted one angry fan on Twitter.

“Swift is just beyond greedy, this is pathetic,” complained another.

It comes after legendary rocker Dave Grohl sparked backlash after he seemingly accused Swift of not performing live.

“I tell you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift,” he said. “So we like to call our tour the ‘Errors Tour’. We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few f***ing errors as well. Just a couple,” he told the audience. “That’s because we actually play live. What? Just saying. You guys like raw, live rock ‘n’ roll music, right? You came to the right f***ing place.”

The supposed diss came as a surprise given Grohl has been nothing but complimentary of the singer in the past.
