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.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
