Speaking on BBC, Charlie XCX revealed to Nick Grimshaw the iconic staples of a 'brat summer'. Charlie explained it can be 'luxury' but also 'trashy', being the kind of girl to carry 'a pack of cigs and a Bic lighter', but wearing a strappy white top.
The BRAT singer has been slammed over her cover by fans of Taylor Swift. READ MORE:Charli XCX has been slammed by fans of Taylor Swift after appearing on the cover of New York magazine wearing a friendship bracelet on a severed hand.
However, other fans have speculated that the bracelet is actually an allusion to 'rave kandi' and has no connection to Swift, while some have even suggested it's a hint that Taylor and Charli may have a collaboration in the future. Just days later, Taylor was forced to cancel three concerts in Vienna after authorities uncovered a planned terror attack on the venue.
'I've always loved the rawness of B movies and tabloids and Hollywood Babylon. They've always spoken to me. Charli's had such a strong career, but this is a new level for her, and I wanted to do something that was kind of tabloid, but also add some surreal elements dealing with the nature of how she's exploded.
'Then, she's brought to the hospital and probably given some sort of painkiller. She's hallucinating. Instead of a real Hollywood tragedy, it's more of a fantasied one. She's stuck in a dreamscape.' Taylor Swift has praised Charli XCX in a new interview despite one of her recent songs leading fans to believe there might be bad blood between the two pop stars
In Sympathy Is a Knife, the third track on Charli's most recent album BRAT, the singer describes feeling anxiety about another woman, she sings 'I couldn't even be her if I tried'. She says: 'I wrote this three or four weeks ago, about this idea of, like, you have to fall - if you're deemed to be even in the slightest way on top, you have to fall. I'm not a f---ing idiot. I know how s--t works.'
The phenomenon has resulted in an unprecedented boom in sales - with data from eBay showing a 15,200 per cent increase in sales for friendship bracelets and Hobbycraft's increasing by 500 per cent. Nevertheless, a number of celebrities have been snapped sporting the wrist wear, including Reese Witherspoon, Channing Tatum, Gayle King and Gigi Hadid. Even Tom Cruise has reportedly jumped onto the trend.
Weeks later, at Wimbledon, Charlotte was spotted wearing two threaded bracelets, one featuring various shades of pink and another boasting green, blue and pink fabric. And the Duchess of Edinburgh appeared to be the latest royal to wear a friendship bracelet as she cheered on Team GB in Paris last week.
She said: 'People are gonna think what they want to think. That song is about me and my feelings and my anxiety and the way my brain creates narratives and stories in my head when I feel insecure and how I don't want to be in those situations physically when I feel self-doubt.' 'She's one of the biggest artists of my generation and the Reputation tour was one of the biggest tours in history.'
