Actually Romantic

A sarcastic phrase used to describe when someone’s hate or obsession with you crosses into weirdly affectionate territory. Comes from Taylor Swift’s 2025 song “Actually Romantic” on The Life of a Showgirl, where she mocks a rival’s fixation on her by calling it “sweet” and “romantic.”

Basically means: You’re so obsessed it’s kind of flattering.

She’s been subtweeting me for weeks. Honestly? It’s actually romantic.
