At her Sao Paulo, Brazil concert at the weekend, there were reported shouts of “A Taylor morreu”, which translates as “Taylor is dead”. In an Instagram story, Charli XCX shared a screenshot of someone alerting her to this. She said: “Can the people who do this please stop.
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.
” The 31-year-old, real name Charlotte Aitchison, previously performed during Swift’s Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018 and has cited her music as an influence. However, in 2019 Charli XCX said performing on Swift’s tour felt like “I was getting up on stage and waving to five-year-olds” in an interview in Pitchfork. She later clarified those comments saying there is “no shade and only love here” and she is “extremely grateful to Taylor for inviting me to open” her show.
Charli, who rose to fame following her 2013 collaboration with Icona Pop titled I Love It, explained that before joining Swift for the stadium tour she had been playing adult-only clubs. She said: “So to be on stage in front of all ages was new to me and made me approach my performances with a whole new kind of energy.” There has also been speculation that Charli’s relationship with The 1975 drummer, George Daniel, who is her fiance, has led to her mentioning Swift on her song Sympathy Is A Knife from her new album, Brat.
The song contains lines.
