British pop singer Charli XCX had a great break out performance on “Saturday Night Live” this week. She brought out Role Model (aka Tucker Pillsbury) for an equally stunning and engaging performance too that left audiences floored. Amy Poehler hosted the episode, and Charli XCX rocked a cool “Max’s Kansas City” shirt. After the Emmys last night, fans immediately flocked to social media to debate her show stopping ensemble.
During the performance, Charli XCX displayed her iconic style and her impressive ensemble turned heads. Over the course of the performance, she removed her big black sunglasses. With a flourish, they scored ticks on Role Model before leaving the stage. This moment provided another element of cuteness to her performance and I think it played well to the crowd.
The excitement from Charli XCX’s lewking and acting a fool on the red carpet has left fans clamoring to figure out just what went down. Now, people are drawing comparisons between her new work and that of fellow artist Taylor Swift. They are particularly pointing out the similarities in the crux of their respective songs. Charli XCX’s forthcoming album, “Brat,” features a track titled “Everything Is Romantic,” while Swift’s latest release, “Actually Romantic,” has sparked discussions about potential thematic parallels between the two artists.

Adding to the complications, Charli XCX is married to George Daniel, member of the band The 1975. Interestingly enough, Daniel’s bandmate, Matty Healy, dated Taylor Swift for a spell. This quick love story has led to years of rumors about a bitter feud between the two actresses. Additionally, Charli XCX’s song “Sympathy Is a Knife” appears to reference Swift’s past with Healy, adding another layer to the narrative.
With all the buzz flying around, Charli XCX and Taylor Swift haven’t said a peep. Neither has publicly discussed the negotiations over the years, let alone any alleged rivalry between them. The future of fan engagement remains uncertain and fans are anxious for guidance. The promise and interest only deepens as both artists continue to shape their journeys in the ever-competitive music industry.
