Charli XCX and George Daniel: A Musical Love Story
This past June, Charli XCX made a bold statement on her Brat album, declaring that “everything is romantic.” It seems that her words ring true for the Cambridge-born singer, as her relationship with pop rock band The 1975’s drummer, George Daniel, has captured the hearts of fans.
Their love story began back in 2019 when Charli crossed paths with The 1975 at an awards ceremony. A photo snapped of the two British acts together hinted at a budding connection. Fast forward two years, and Charli found herself back in the studio with The 1975, working on a song with R&B artist No Rome.
As their collaboration blossomed, so did Charli’s relationship with George Daniel. The drummer started making appearances in Charli’s Instagram posts, sparking rumors of a romance. In early 2023, Charli confirmed their relationship to the world, and just 10 months later, the couple got engaged.
Since then, Charli has been using her music to express her love for George. During her New York City Sweat Tour stop with Troye Sivan, she gave shoutouts to George, expressing her love for him to the audience. Their relationship even influenced Charli’s creative process, leading her to take a more thoughtful approach to songwriting.
Their engagement was revealed in a sweet Instagram post by Charli, featuring a diamond ring. The couple has been spotted together at various high-profile events, showcasing their love and support for each other. George even made appearances on the cover art for some of Charli’s singles, highlighting their musical connection.
The couple’s journey to engagement has been filled with music, love, and mutual admiration. From their first collaboration on No Rome’s track “Spinning” to George’s contributions to Charli’s Crash album, their partnership extends beyond just their romantic relationship.
As they continue to enjoy their engagement, fans eagerly await what musical magic Charli XCX and George Daniel will create together next. Their love story serves as a reminder that sometimes, the best collaborations are born out of love and creativity.
