Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish feud rumours have resurfaced after fans spotted what they believe is subtle shade in Swift’s latest music video.
The pop star’s new release quickly drew attention from fans known for decoding hidden messages. Swift has a long history of placing visual clues and layered symbolism in her work.
In the video, Swift introduces a fictional magical medicine called “Opalite.” However, she later contrasts it with an antidote named “Nope-alite,” which appears as the “number two bestseller.”
Many Swifties interpreted the detail as a possible dig at Billie Eilish. Fans noted that Eilish has frequently competed with Swift for the top spot on music charts.
Several users shared screenshots from the video on X. Some claimed the reference looked deliberate rather than accidental.
One fan wrote, “Nah, this is intentional.” Another added, “I love shady Taylor.” As a result, speculation spread quickly across social media.
Some fans also suggested Swift may have addressed more than one artist. They argued that the scene could reference past tension involving Charli XCX and Eilish.
“At one point, Billie criticised artists who release multiple variants,” one user noted. They claimed the scene appeared to respond directly to that criticism.

Several users argued that chart rankings alone do not prove intent. They said the reference could simply be playful storytelling.
So far, neither Swift nor Eilish has commented on the speculation. No official source has confirmed any feud between the two artists.
Without direct confirmation, the claims remain fan-driven theories. While Swift often embraces symbolism, intent remains unclear.
