Charli XCX ‘Will Not Tolerate’ Fans Chanting ‘Taylor Swift is Dead’
Some Charli XCX fans were hoping for drama between her and Taylor Swift, but Charli made it clear she's not about that beef. Taylor Swift is on top of the pop world right now with her latest album and huge Eras Tour. Charli dropped her album 'brat' in June after announcing it earlier this year to rave reviews, even getting props from Lorde on Instagram. But despite the love from Lorde, some fans wanted Charli to be at odds with someone else. Recently, there was an unsettling trend among Charli XCX fans both online and at concerts, where some chanted or wrote "Taylor Swift is dead." Charli addressed this directly on Instagram after her show in Brazil on June 22nd, expressing her strong disapproval and emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy for such negativity within her community.
