" It is the opposite of what I want . "
Charli XCXis having a huge summer.
Her latest albumBratis a critical and commercial success, and if you’ve been onlineat allin the last few weeks, you know that it’s the only thing people have been really talking about lately.
You might also be aware thatBratjust missed debuting at the top of the UK charts due to the continued chart-topping run of Taylor Swift’sThe Tortured Poets Department.
Because pop music fandom is deeply unhinged as of late, the supposed sense of competition between Charli’s and Taylor’s fans has gotten a bit out of hand. We’re not going to link to any of the back-and-forth stuff, but you’ve probably already seen some of it.
There’s also been a few videos circulating that allege fans at Charli’s recent run of shows are chanting “Death to Taylor!” during the show. Again, if you find yourself doing such a thing in public…it might be time to reevaluate your life choices.
Apparently, Charli agrees. Earlier today, she took toher IG storyto share a message to her fans atop a screenshot of a TikTok purportedly showing fans in São Paulo chanting “Taylor is dead” during her performance.
“Can the people who do this please stop,” she wrote. “Online or at my shows.”
“It is the opposite of what I want and it disturbs me that anyone would think there is room for this in this community.”
“I will not tolerate it.”
Fair enough!
