Taylor Swift’s closest friends quietly choose sides in her feud with Charli XCX — and fans didn’t see this coming.NN
A picture to burn, indeed.
Two of Taylor Swift’s longtime pals, Cara Delevingne and Ed Sheeran, took a surprising side in the pop star’s feud with Charli XCX over the weekend.
On the heels of Swift, 35, seemingly dissing her fellow singer, 33, in “Actually Romantic,” Delevingne and Sheeran cozied up for a group photo with Charli.
The trio posed with actress Rachel Sennott at Saturday’s Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles.
Delevingne, 33, posted the picture in an Instagram slideshow documenting the event on Wednesday.
“@theacademy gala dump! Scroll through to reveal the truth behind the glitz and glamour,” the model wrote, referencing her ripped dress.
Reps for Delevingne, Sheeran and Swift have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The “Paper Towns” star stunned in a sparkling Tamara Ralph gown, while Sheeran suited up in a classic black tuxedo.
Charli, for her part, smoldered in a leather ensemble with a see-through lace bodice.
The British songwriter, notably, appeared to diss Swift in her 2024 hit “Sympathy Is a Knife,” singing about someone who “taps [her] insecurities.”
Earlier this month, Swift seemingly clapped back with “Actually Romantic” on her “Life of a Showgirl” album.
She compared Charli to a “toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse.”
Charli has yet to address the headlines, dodging questions in a recent Vanity Fair cover story — but did rail against tour documentaries, like Swift’s forthcoming Eras Tour film, in the interview.
The three-time Grammy winner has been friends with Delevingne for years, with the duo even hanging out at June’s Glastonbury Festival.
As for Delevingne, she met Swift in 2013 and briefly lived with the songwriter years later during a breakup.
Swift and Sheeran, meanwhile, have been close since 2012 — although the Daily Mail reported last week that their friendship is currently “strained.”
The “Shape of You” singer allegedly felt “peeved” when Swift released her album three weeks after his latest, “Play.”
When Swift got engaged to Travis Kelce in August, Sheeran made headlines for admitting to Andy Cohen that he found out about the milestone moment on social media “like everyone else.”
Swift defended this in a “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” interview on Oct. 6, pointing out that Sheeran doesn’t have a cell phone.
