Taylor Swift’s Tribute to Charlie Puth Sparks Controversy

TFD – Delve into the controversy stirred by Taylor Swift’s tribute to Charlie Puth in her recent album. Get a glimpse of the ongoing celebrity feud and fan reactions, shedding light on the dynamic between these two prominent figures in the music industry. Stay updated on the latest buzz and controversies in the entertainment world.

Charlie Puth is a big Swiftie, and it seems like they have similar tastes.

In “The Tortured Poets Department,” the title tune from her new album, Taylor Swift pays tribute to her fellow singer-songwriter.

She says in the love song, “You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate.” Charlie Puth ought to be a more well-known performer, we said.

Puth’s admiration for Swift’s music is well-established. He is most known for singing the hook on Wiz Khalifa’s song “See You Again” and for his successes “One Call Away.”

In addition to covering her songs live, he gained notoriety in 2022 when a video of him complimenting her musical abilities went viral.

He said to the crowd at his New York City event, “Sidebar, this has nothing to do with anything, but Taylor Swift is the queen of these types of chords,” when he played her song, “Teardrops on My Guitar.

Analyzing Swift’s lyrics is part of the fun of every album release, and the Puth reference has riled the Swifties.

A user wrote on X, “Charlie Puth: An Underappreciated Legend.” She is aware. I understand,” I said, joining the chorus of people who were apparently endorsing Swift.

Others took a less positive view of the lyric.

Another user commented, “Did she call Charlie Puth a flop?”

Beyond the fact that they are both singer-songwriters, Puth and Swift have additional ties.

Swift’s close friend Selena Gomez, who has long denied that she and Puth were ever romantically linked, is featured on his smash song from 2016 called “We Don’t Talk Anymore.” Puth seemed to corroborate this at the time by tweeting that he and Gomez were just friends.

In 2018, however, Puth told Billboard that “I don’t kiss and tell, but the only way a song like [“We Don’t Talk Anymore”] can come across as real is if there’s something else going on behind the scenes” in response to rumors that his song “Attention” was about Gomez.

And that’s precisely what was going on with Gomez. Extremely tiny, extremely short-lived, but incredibly powerful,” he informed the newspaper.
