Charli XCX told fans that she was not happy with the hateful chants towards Taylor Swift on social media and at her concerts on Sunday, June 23. The 31-year-old pop star, known for her song «sympathy is a knife», - addressed her fans in her Instagram story, asking them not to direct their anger towards other singers, posting a screenshot of a video where her fans chant «Taylor is dead».
Charli, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter), where someone pointed out that Brazilian fans were chanting «Taylor is dead» in Portuguese at her concerts and events related to her. Charli wrote a short message, urging fans not to do this. «Could people who do this please stop. Online or at my concerts», - she wrote. «This is the opposite of what I want, and it bothers me that anyone thinks there is a place for this in this community. I won’t stand for it».
The drama surrounding Charli and Taylor, 34, began shortly after Charli released her excellent new album «brat» in early June. Around the release date of «brat», - Taylor released a new edition of her latest album «The Tortured Poets Department» in the UK, leading many fans to rush to buy the record. Some fans criticized the singer of «All Too Well», - believing that she intentionally released the new edition to block Charli and prevent her from reaching the top spot on the charts, according to Newsweek.
Taylor and Charli have worked together before. The singer of «Anthems» was one of the opening acts for Taylor’s «Reputation» tour in 2018, and even performed with her on stage, singing the hit «Shake It Off» throughout the tour.
Although they once collaborated, some fans speculated that Charli was teasing Taylor in her song «sympathy is a knife» from the album «brat». In the song, Charli sings: «Don't want to see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show/Crossing fingers behind my back/Hoping they’ll break up soon». Fans speculated that this was a reference to Taylor’s short romance with Matty Healy from The 1975, as Charli is engaged to the band’s drummer George Daniel
