Overview
- On the Oct. 29 episode of Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know, Harry looked puzzled when asked about a supposed Swift–Charli dispute, replying, "The what? Oh no," before laughing and moving on.
- Minhaj framed the chatter as starting with Charli XCX’s 2024 track Sympathy Is a Knife and escalating with Taylor Swift’s new song Actually Romantic.
- Charli XCX previously told New York Magazine in August 2024 that Sympathy Is a Knife was not about Swift, describing it as reflections on her own anxiety and insecurity.
- Swift has said Actually Romantic addresses realizing someone had a one-sided adversarial relationship with her, a description that has fueled ongoing fan interpretation without direct naming.
- Coverage noted Meghan Markle had posted an Instagram Story set to Swift’s Opalite the day before the episode, while the podcast also discussed Harry’s life in the U.S. and concerns about social media and AI.
