Charli XCX and Billie Eilish had joined forces on a new remix of ‘Brat’ deluxe edition track ‘Guess’, and already fans are suspecting that one of the lyrics might be a diss towards Taylor Swift.Shared last night (August 2), the track is co-produced by The Dare and Finneas, and sees Eilish adopt her whispered cadence for the suggestive and explosive dance track.It also dropped alongside an Aidan Zamiri-directed music video, which shows Charli and The Dare holding a party in a living room, before Eilish bulldozes her way through the wall.Now, fans have already begun looking into the lyrics, and suspect that one of the lines towards the end is a subtle jab at fellow pop icon Taylor Swift.“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),” the two whisper at the end of the track.The shady lyrics about who the two have been gossiping about are suspected by some fans to be a diss towards Swift, seemingly because the artist blocked both Eilish and Charli from the Number One spot on the charts.This happened as the ‘Midnights’ singer would release different variants of her latest album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ to maintain her hold on the chart-topping position – something which some fans interpreted as being unfair to other acts (via The Tab).The outlet also recalled how fuel was added to the fire with the rumours about the ‘Guess’ lyrics following reports of some of Eilish’s team liked negative tweets about the TTPD variants when the album was released.
