A clip is going viral on social media that has many Taylor Swift and Charli XCX fans talking.
If you are not aware, a video is circulating online that features both Charli and Taylor from the 2026 MTV VMAs...but is it real or fake?
Charli XCX and Taylor Swift have been the subject of feud rumors
Fans have theorized that Taylor‘s song “Actually Romantic” from her album The Life of a Showgirl is about Charli, possibly a response to Charli‘s “Sympathy is a Knife.”
Charli appeared on SNL after TLOAS release as Role Model‘s Sally, where she wore a “Max’s Kansas City” t-shirt. Some believed that this could be a dig at Taylor, as Kansas City is where her husband Travis Kelce plays football.
It didn’t help the rumors when Charli then declined to answer a question about the feud talk.
Is the Charli XCX reaction to Taylor Swift’s award real or fake?
The clip that is circulating shows a portion of Taylor Swift‘s acceptance speech for the Artist Director Honor.
In the video circulating online, Charli is seen looking on and clapping with one hand on her leg. Amid the feud rumors, the video has been circulating.
However, we can confirm this is a FAKE CLIP.
The clip of Charli‘s clapping is actually from a moment in the Video Vanguard acceptance speech from members of Nirvana.
You can see the proof in the video, embedded below, at about 1:13.
