In recent weeks, Olivia Rodrigo and Charli xcx have been the targets of "open letters" from their respective fans, which go beyond expressing disappointment over their new singles. In Rodrigo's case, one fan complained that her song "drop dead" had too many "similarities to other artists" without providing evidence, and criticized her for blocking country artist Ella Langley from the top of the Billboard charts (despite her currently being number one). Meanwhile, another fan demanded a "proper rock album," as if she hadn't done rock-inspired fare for her entire career.

On Location peels back the curtain on some of your favorite films, television shows, and more. A day in the life of filming Erupcja-visionary guerrilla director Pete Ohs' "anti-love story" starring Charli XCX, Jeremy O. Harris, and Lena Góra-looked a lot like this: meet in the morning, see where the day takes us. It was a calculated nonchalance that resulted in a comprehensive guide to every coveted corner of Warsaw, capturing the beating heart of the city's social milieu.

“Maybe we could become each other, like something out of a Jacques Rivette movie or something,” she sings, referencing the French New Wave director. “I wonder if I just want you as my best friend, or if I'm just a really late bloomer.” Later, she touches on her own sexuality, noting: “Now I'm wondering if maybe I could be gay, but come on, look at me, I'm probably not. I've always wondered if you were actually gay, or if that's something you just say for your career.”

"I think the dance floor is dead, so now we're making rock music." Charli XCX emphasizes her shift in musical direction, moving away from previous genres to explore rock.

I actually don't want to have kids.

When director Emerald Fennell needed to hire a musician to score her Wuthering Heights adaptation, only one person came to mind: Charli XCX. Not only did the British pop star accept the offer, but she used her soundtrack to capture love in all of its grandiose, moody, and elusive ways. As she described the soundtrack on her Substack, it's a "dive into persona, into a world that felt undeniably raw, wild, sexual, gothic, British, tortured and full of actual real sentences, punctuation and grammar."

"Very, very early in my career, an actor I worked with, a male actor, gave me a book called Why French Women Don't Get Fat," she told Charli, referring to a 2006 food book by Mireille Guiliano. "And it was essentially a book telling you to eat less." Robbie recreated her shocked expression upon receiving the book for Charli. "'I was like, ' Oh. F*ck you, dude,'" she recalled. "He essentially gave me a book to let me know that I should lose weight."

Does that mean you'd love to have more than one kid, or would you like to have a child who had the same sort of experience as you (as an only child)?

Reading and Leeds 2026 Festival will feature headline performances from British artist Raye and certified queer icon Charli XCX. It's a strong follow-up after 2025's headliner, Chappell Roan, stunned festival goers with a tour de force performance. Organisers announced that, for the first time in 25 years, the headliners are exclusively British and Irish acts. Over this year's August bank holiday weekend, Irish rockers Fontaines DC, electronic duo Chase & Status and singer Florence + The Machine will also be playing.

In fact, over the past few months, social media users have suggested a connection between the summer album and the viral mascot, noting their similar shade of green and the company's history of embracing Gen-Z trends. When the opportunity to collaborate-directly or indirectly-with a massive trend arises, brands are quick to respond. The language-learning company used a color association strategy, linking the color of Charli's Brat album cover to that of their mascot

When Charli xcx says her first new material in more than a year is something entirely new, entirely opposite to the sound she pursued on the era-defining Brat, she isn't joking. Taken from the soundtrack to director Emerald Fennell's forthcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights, the darkly gothic House bears almost no relation in sound or mood to the contents of Brat: it was, she says, inspired by John Cale's description of the sound of his old mob the Velvet Underground as elegant and brutal.
