Charli XCX has taken a stand against the disrespectful chants at her shows, urging fans to stop chanting “Taylor Swift is dead” during her performances. The singer expressed her frustration on Instagram, stating that she “will not tolerate” such behavior any longer.
Reports emerged of crowds at Charli’s Sunday show in São Paulo, Brazil, joining in with the attacks on Taylor Swift, prompting Charli to speak out against the harmful chants. The two artists have recently released albums, with Charli’s Brat being held off the top spot in the charts by Taylor’s The Tortured Poets Department.
Speculation has arisen about a possible feud between the two singers, fueled by Charli’s song “Sympathy is a Knife,” which some believe contains references to Taylor. Charli, who is engaged to drummer George Daniel, previously opened for Taylor on her Reputation tour in 2018.
Despite past comments about the stadium shows on Taylor’s tour, Charli clarified that there is “only love” between them. The theme of relationships between women in the music industry is prevalent in Charli’s latest album, with the singer addressing the complexities and nuances of female friendships.
As Charli’s Brat tour continues in Europe and heads to the UK in November, Taylor Swift is gearing up for more shows at Wembley as part of her Eras tour. The two artists may have their differences, but Charli is making it clear that there is no room for negativity and disrespect in the music community.
