Hit up Charli XCX and Billie Eilish ASAP because they just dropped some fire bars after dealing with a superstar.
Fans have already linked the “Guess” remix to the Taylor Swift drama involving both artists.
The collab and timing speak volumes, but there’s also a sneaky lyric that has Twitter detectives buzzing about a possible message to Taylor.
Billie and Charli were both affected by Taylor’s recent chart-blocking tactics, theygossip.com reports.
Taylor released three new versions of The Tortured Poets Department before Billie released HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, leading to a fierce chart battle with numerous remixes and slightly different album versions.
Taylor ended up claiming the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart, pushing Billie to No. 2, despite TTPD being out for a month and HMHAS being brand new.
Charli, who deserved a No. 1 during Brat Summer, was also blocked by Taylor. Even though BRAT was projected to top the U.K. charts in mid-June, Taylor released six U.K.-only album variants, preventing BRAT from reaching the top spot.
So, the timing of Billie and Charli joining forces is definitely intriguing.
Clearly, Charli and Billie are playing coy by not mentioning Taylor in “Guess,” but fans are convinced that one line in the remix is totally throwing shade at the chart battles and all that recent drama.
The lyrics are:
“You wanna guess what me and Billie have been textin’ about? (You’ve been disrespectful)/ Still tryin’ to guess the password to my Google Drive (Are you obsessed with me?)
You wanna guess the address of the party we’re at (You really are not invited)/ You wanna guess if we’re serious about this song.”
These lyrics are like a genius chess move – so mysterious yet hinting at some serious drama.
It’s like Charli is playing 4D chess with our minds, leaving us all wondering about that “Bad Blood” connection. She’s definitely not one to shy away from a little controversy, that’s for sure.
What ‘Guess’ is Really About
The track “Guess” by Charli XCX and Billie Eilish is all about playful teasing and curiosity when it comes to intimacy.
The lyrics capture a flirty back-and-forth where they joke around about their underwear, using some pretty vivid and suggestive language.
It’s like a fun dialogue where Charli kicks things off, and Billie jumps in with her confident replies.
The chorus really leans into trying out different sensual actions, hinting at a daring exploration of their chemistry.
As the song goes on, the bridge and outro keep the playful vibe alive, alluding to private chats and secrets. In short, it’s a catchy, cheeky mix of humor and flirtation that’s hard to resist.

Charli XCX and Taylor Swift
Let me say this is not the first song XCX has written about Swift. Also, let’s set the record straight: Taylor and Charli were never BFFs, okay?
Charli made her grand entrance during Swift’s 1989 tour back in 2015. Fast forward three years, and suddenly Charli was the opening act for the Reputation tour. They looked like they were besties, right?
But hold up! A couple of years ago, things got a little spicy when Charli casually dropped that she felt Taylor’s performance on the Reputation tour was more aimed at the kiddos. Oops!
Charlie has this one song out ‘Sympathy is a Knife’ which was very much about Taylor Swift!
It was not a diss track! Instead, it reflects Charli’s insecurities. The song mentions a girl dating someone in her fiancé’s band, which hints at Swift due to her brief relationship with Matty Healy of The 1975 band.

Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift
So, it looks like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish, who used to be besties, are now throwing shade at each other.
The drama kicked off when Billie called out artists for dropping a bunch of album versions, which, surprise surprise, is totally Taylor’s jam.
Things got even spicier with their album release schedules clashing and some serious finger-pointing over who’s trying to sabotage whom.
Oh, and let’s not forget the bickering over concert lengths and those oh-so-telling social media posts.
There are four reasons why a feud between Swift and Eilish started:
Multiple Album Editions: Billie Eilish really let loose in March 2024, throwing shade at musicians who keep churning out different versions of their albums.
She didn’t hold back, especially when it came to Taylor Swift and her love for multiple album vinyls.
Eilish made it clear that she’s not here for the environmental impact or the obsession with sales and numbers.

Alleged Sabotage: When Taylor released additional versions of her album the same day Billie dropped her new album, Billie’s fans accused Taylor of trying to sabotage Billie’s chances of hitting #1.
This sparked further drama, with both artists releasing more album versions in quick succession.
Concert Length: In an interview, Billie said that three-hour concerts are “psychotic” and too long, which Swift’s fans interpreted as a dig at Taylor’s lengthy Eras Tour performances.
Manager’s Involvement: Billie’s manager liked and reposted hate posts about Taylor on social media, fueling the feud.
