Charli XCX has been making waves in the pop music community with her album Brat, showing her commitment to peace among pop-girls. Recently, she released a remix of her song “Girl, so confusing” featuring Lorde, and received praise from Marina Diamandis, ending any past beefs between them with a powerful hyperpop track.
However, things took a negative turn when Taylor Swift released special digital albums for the U.K., leading some fans to accuse her of stealing Charli’s No. 1 spot on the U.K. charts. There have been suspicions that Charli’s song “Sympathy is a Knife” is about Taylor Swift, adding fuel to the fire. This all culminated in fans at Charli’s show in São Paulo chanting “Taylor is dead,” prompting Charli to speak out against the disrespect.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Charli shared a screenshot of the TikTok video showing the chant and expressed her disappointment, stating that she will not tolerate such behavior in the community. She had previously addressed the issue in a TikTok video, clarifying that her album does not contain diss tracks and calling out the challenges of being compared to her peers in the industry.
Despite her efforts to promote unity and positivity in the pop music scene, some fans continue to stir up drama and disrespect. Charli’s message is clear: she wants to focus on healing pop music and hopes to put an end to unnecessary feuds and negativity in the industry. Let’s support our favorite artists and spread love and appreciation instead of hate and division.
