Today was Thanksgiving in America, and the festivities of course involved Charli XCX’s Brat (because in 2024, what doesn’t?).It was a holiday in the UK too: the date of Charli’s mega-gig in London.
At the O2 Arena, the pop star put on a star-studded performance celebrating her dominant year.It was a guest-heavy event from the start, as Shygirl joined Charli for the opening “365.” Later, during the encore, Caroline Polachek emerged to do the remix of “Everything Is Romantic” (my dark horse choice for the best track on the Brat remix album) and Polachek’s own “Welcome To My Island.” Then Robyn and Yung Lean came out for the “360” remix, followed by Robyn’s classic “Dancing On My Own.” The most noteworthy moment, though, may have been during “Apple” early on.
“Apple” was co-produced by Charli’s boyfriend, the 1975 drummer George Daniel, who for months has made a big thing out of not doing the song’s viral TikTok dance.He finally relented onstage at O2.
