A Taylor Swift fan spent her entire time at the Eras tour being compared to the singer due to her very similar outfit, makeup and hair.

Charli XCX has criticised fans who shouted “Taylor is dead” at a recent show in São Paulo, saying she “will not tolerate it”.The singer played a ‘PARTYGIRL’ DJ set in the Brazilian city on Saturday (June 22), where some fans are reported to have yelled out the phrase, apparently in reference to Taylor Swift.Charli responded after the show with an Instagram story, in which she called out the fans directly.“Can the people who do this please stop,” she wrote (via Variety). “Online or at my shows.

There appears to be no bad blood between Charli XCX and Taylor Swift, despite some colorful language from passionate fans.

Taylor Swift is like winning the lottery in music right about now.We all saw what happened to Sabrina Carpenter’s career after she opened for Swift on her epic Eras Tour last year. I mean, she blew all the way up — and now she’s got the song of the summer with “Espresso.”Now it’s Gracie Abrams’ turn to have a hot girl summer after also opening for Swift last year.

Taylor Swift has landed in London, bringing with her a wave of excitement ahead of her upcoming London Eras Tour shows.The 34 year old pop sensation was spotted at Stansted airport, looking ready to party as she arrived with crates of booze for Friday's concert.This highly anticipated gig is the first of three consecutive performances at Wembley by the Shake It Off star.Taylor and her crew disembarked from their luxurious aircraft into the night, swiftly loading up their 4x4s. Their arrival came just hours before Just Stop Oil activists broke into a VIP private airfield at Stansted airport and vandalised aircraft.

Mark Sutherland “I spend a lot of my time trying to plan these things,” Taylor Swift said with a grin — and with classic understatement — as she strapped on her acoustic guitar for the “surprise songs” segment of her “Eras” tour stop in Cardiff, Wales. “I like to challenge myself to do different things every night [so] every single show is unique.” Considering the unprecedented levels of attention the tour has attracted since it kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, 100 shows and over a year ago, this seemed like a bold statement.

Charli XCX has discussed her love of Rihanna, and shared how she ranks her above all other pop stars, barring one.The topic arose during a new interview with the ‘360’ singer, where she was asked to rank some of the biggest names in pop, including Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga and Olivia Rodrigo.During the discussion – which was shared on TikTok yesterday (June 17) – Charli was presented with some quickfire questions about which artists she prefers. “I’m so scared for this whole thing,” she said at the very start, before being asked to decide between the ‘Work’ singer and Lady Gaga first, for which she chose the former.Her answer didn’t change for nearly the entire interview, with her laughing and explaining that she’s now noticed that she is a “stan” for the singer.

Sabrina Carpenter has said that there is no tension between her and Taylor Swift, following her recent campaign with SKIMS.The speculation about the friendship between Carpenter and Swift came into question when the former partnered up with SKIMS – the clothing brand founded by Kim Kardashian – earlier this year.Previously, Carpenter had joined Swift as a support act for many of her huge ‘Eras’ tour dates, and openly shared her appreciation for the pop star on a number of occasions. However, some fans weren’t happy about the collaboration with Kardashian, given the reality star’s ongoing feud with the ‘Midnights’ singer.Swift and Kardashian’s relationship has been a topic of public scrutiny since 2016, when Kardashian defended her then-husband Kanye West’s mention of Swift in his track ‘Famous’, in which he claimed he “made that bitch famous”.She then insisted that Swift had given him permission to include her in the song and released footage of a phone call between Swift and West about the inclusion of similar lyrics to those that were released, which Swift has since said was recorded “illegally” and “edited”.Swift addressed the situation again in her December 2023 Time Person of the Year interview.

Taylor Swift held Charli XCX’s ‘Brat’ off the top of the UK Albums Chart this week thanks to the new UK-only editions of ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.Charli released her sixth studio album on June 7, and just a few days later shared the deluxe edition, which included three extra tracks in the form of ‘Hello Goodbye’, ‘Guess’ and ‘Spring Breakers’.And it might have been on course to be the singer’s second Number One album in her home country, after 2022’s ‘Crash’, but it was kept off the top spot by the new version of Swift’s all-conquering record.‘The Tortured Poets Department’ claimed its sixth non-consecutive week at Number One on Friday (June 14), thanks in part to a new UK-exclusive digital format that included previously unreleased live recordings. It makes it her longest-running Number One album in the UK to date.With the Eras Tour arriving in the UK last week, several of Taylor’s albums are rising in the charts, with ‘Lover’ and ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ both also returning to the Top 10 this week.‘Brat’ does, however, boast the biggest opening week of any Charli XCX album so far, eclipsing the first week sales of ‘Crash’, despite charting a place lower.

Ellise Shafer Charli XCX‘s “Brat” is dominating TikTok in the U.K. and Ireland.

Matty Healy has seemingly confirmed his engagement to Gabbriette Bechtel during a Charli XCX show.Speculation about The 1975 frontman and his model girlfriend came to a head last night when the latter posted an update on her Instagram Stories, while at a Charli XCX concert in New York City.In the update, a photo of Butchel’s hand is seen wearing a large black ring on her ring finger, she shared it alongside the caption ‘MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT.’She then doubled down on the rumours about an engagement, posting a mirror selfie as she held up the ring.
