There doesn’t appear to be any bad blood between Charli XCX and Taylor Swift, despite some colorful language from passionate fans.
The Brat artist defended her fellow pop star after Swiftie drew attention to “toxic behavior” during Charli’s Saturday show at ZIGclub in São Paulo, Brazil, where fans could be heard singing “A Taylor morreu,” Portuguese for “Taylor is dead.”
‘Can the people doing this please stop? Online or at my shows,” Charli wrote on her Instagram Story. “It’s the opposite of what I want and it bothers me that anyone would think there is room for that in this community. I won’t tolerate it.”
Charli previously made it clear that she is “extremely grateful” that Swift had her as an opener on the 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour.
“She is one of the greatest artists of my generation and the Reputation Tour was one of the greatest tours in history,” she wrote Tweet in 2019 after fans misinterpreted a quote from Charli Pitchfork about how the experience felt like “standing on stage and waving at five-year-olds.”
After Charli released her sixth studio album Brat Earlier this month, fans speculated that the song “Sympathy Is a Knife” contains a reference to Swift, though it doesn’t necessarily appear to be a diss track.
Meanwhile, fans have theorized that Swift released her recent deluxe reissues of The Tortured Poets Department as she did so to steal No. 1. 1 spot on Charli’s UK album chart Brat.
