AceShowbiz - Charli XCX transformed the Coachella main stage into a pulsating dance club on Saturday night, April 12, reigniting her Brat tour in the California desert. The high-energy performance saw her welcomed friends and fellow pop icons Troye Sivan, Lorde, and Billie Eilish on stage, much to the crowd's delight.
The night began with Charli bringing out Sivan for a dynamic redo of their "Talk Talk" performance. Sivan, donning a "Protect the Dolls" shirt to promote Trans Lifeline, joined Charli in a spirited display of synergy, gyrating and strutting across the stage. "I'm so f***ing obsessed with you, Charli!" Sivan proclaimed, summing up the palpable excitement.
The surprises kept coming as Lorde made a dramatic entrance for the "Girl, So Confusing" remix. Fans were thrilled to see the two pop queens put past feuds behind them, delivering a powerful message about the complexities of womanhood before embracing on stage.
Finally, Billie Eilish joined Charli for the remix of their hit "Guess," adding the star power to the night. The duo's chemistry was infectious as they jumped around the stage, leading to Charli declare her admiration for Eilish with an enthusiastic, "I f***ing love you, b***h!"
Aside from the Brat tracks, Charli treated fans to older hits like "Unlock It," "Blame It on Your Love," and her iconic pop anthem, "I Love It."
Charli closed out her set with an emotional and introspective farewell, displayed in a heartfelt message on the giant screens.
"Thank you so much Coachella... Does this mean that Brat Summer is finally over????? Idk? Maybe? yeah cuz duh it was already over like last year... wait... was it? NO???... I don't know who I am if it's over??? FUCKKKKK... Wait... I remembered... I'm Charli XCX... and honestly... I just want this moment to last forever... PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE OVER."
Though she previously announced the end of Brat Summer on social media last year, Charli's performance seemed to suggest otherwise. With additional U.S. dates and European festivals lined up for the summer, it appears that Brat Summer is far from over.
The pop culture movement that Charli XCX has cultivated continues to grow, as fans eagerly await what's next in her ever-evolving musical journey.
