Charlie XCX was "disturbed" after learning fans at her shows are targeting Taylor Swift with a chant, and she is begging them to stop.
A fan notified the singer via X (formerly Twitter), alerting her that groups of fans at her Brazil shows were chanting:
"Taylor is dead."
The fan tweeted:
“Hey @charli_xcx, your Brazilian fans have been showing toxic behaviour by screaming ‘Taylor is dead!’ in your concerts and events related to you."
“Could you do something about it?"
"We don’t believe that’s what music should be about.”
In the accompanying video, fans can be heard shouting in Portuguese:
“A Taylor Morreu”
Charli XCX got the message and took to her Instagram stories to call out the fans, writing:
“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.”
People on social media applauded the "I Love It" singer for urging her fans to stop the unsettling chant.
Many also think other artists should follow her lead.
Charli XCX's new album Brat dropped June 7 and is holding strong as Metacritic's best album of 2024.
