Brat Summer and Brat Remix Album Fall may be behind us, but Charli Xcx will continue her seasonal domination with Brat Spring 2025. The musician has announced a five-show headlining tour of North America for next April and May in support of her blockbuster record Brat.

The musician previously toured the record alongside Troye Sivan on the co-headlining Sweat tour, but she’ll be hitting arenas on her own this time around. The Brat tour will begin April 22 in Austin and continue with shows in Minneapolis and Chicago. The final two...

Is H&m Brat? That may be so, as the clothing brand got Charli Xcx to perform some songs in the middle of Times Square. After teasing a New York City surprise following her Saturday Night Live appearance over the weekend, Charli Xcx took the stage in Times Square Monday evening to play several songs for fans in attendance.

Charli performed “360,” “365,” and “Apple,” a fitting track to play in the middle of the Big Apple, among other songs. One video of Charli singing “365” saw the star — dressed...

British pop singer Charli Xcx, hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time, also made her third SNL musical guest appearance with performances of two tracks from her sixth and latest album: “360” and “Sympathy Is a Knife.”

Brat, which she released this summer, has seven Grammy nominations, with “360” contending for Best Record and Best Music Video.

Charli Xcx’s Brat remix–her first such album–came out just last month. That version of “Sympathy Is a Knife” features Ariana Grande.

Charli Xcx’s last SNL appearance was in...

Another year of Grammy nominations, another year of K-pop fans having to cope with the fact that none of their favorite performers made it in.

Solo artists Jung Kook, Rm, and Jimin were all eligible to be nominated at the 2025 Grammys, but they were ignored when the noms were announced on Friday, Nov. 8 by the Recording Academy — see the full list. So why isn’t K-pop music taken more seriously at the Grammys?

Jimin and Jung Kook both broke streaming records with their singles “Like Crazy” and “Seven,” respectively, and Rm was added to many respectable “best of” lists at music publications for his album “Right Place, Wrong Person.” South Korean artists are clearly here to stay, so perhaps it’s just a matter of opening up the eyes (and the ears) of the Recording Academy members by introducing them to new styles of music they may not have grown up with.

The nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards have been announced!

The Recording Academy announced the nominees in a YouTube livestream on Friday (November 8).

It was once again a big year for women with Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Charli Xcx, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan receiving top nominations.

Keep reading to find out more…Beyoncé received the most nominations with a total of 11.

The 2025 Grammys will take place on February 2, 2025 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

If you thought Brat Summer would be confined by something as fickle as the tilting of the Earth’s axis away from the Sun, you’d be mistaken — Brat Summer defies seasons, and it’s not slowing down even though we’re deep into fall. Charli Xcx’s world-conquering Brat kept people dancing with each new, cheekily self-aware release, including Brat And It’s The Same But There...

Charli Xcx is really committing to proving the “360” lyric “I’m everywhere, I’m so Julia” to be the truest statement she’s ever made. She was everywhere on tour, including a sold-out stop at Madison Square Garden. She also played a DJ set in front of an art installation for her remix album at Storm King Art Center in Orange County, New York. And on Nov. 16, the singer and songwriter will bring her Brat agenda to 30 Rock as she doubles as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

Party girls unite! Charli Xcx enlisted Kesha to perform their pair’s recent remix of “Spring Breakers” during the Sweat tour stop at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles last night. Kesha also performed her own hit, “Tik Tok,” during he show with Charli and Troye Sivan.

Charli first hit the stage to perform her verse from the original version of “Spring Breakers,” before surprising the L.A crowd with Kesha, who was draped in a pink fur coat.

Charli Xcx and Kesha have dropped a surprise new remix of the Brat bonus track “Spring Breakers.” Stream the new version of the song below.

Even before the release of Brat in June, a truck displaying “Kesha” on top of a very specific green background seemed to tease that the pop star would feature on the new Charli release. Despite the hint, Kesha was nowhere to be found on the Brat tracklist, nor was she on the deluxe version of the album, Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not, or the recently released remix project Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat.

Today, however, Charli and Kesha finally make good on their Brat promise. Unlike many of the cuts on Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat, which were often markedly different than the original,...

Months before Charli Xcx even released Brat, a video of a truck displaying the name “Kesha” on a chartreuse background went viral online. At the time, fans speculated that a collaboration with the “Tik Tok” pop star would come on the album. Brat arrived, and it wasn’t there. Brat and It’s the Same But There’s Three More Songs So It’s Not came out, and still nothing. And then came Brat and It’s Completely Different but Also Still Brat on Friday, and no Kesha song was on the track list.

More than 100 sculptures are scattered across the 500-acre grounds of Storm King Art Center in New York’s Hudson Valley: There’s Magdalena Abakanowicz’s Sarcophagi in Glass Houses, a piece from 1989 that draws parallels between turbine engines and the human body; Alice Aycock’s Three-Fold Manifestation II stands at 29 feet, depicting a seemingly endless spiral. The outdoor museum gained an additional multi-dimensional work on Thursday: a 30-foot installation of Charli Xcx’s Brat and It’s Completely Different but Also Still Brat album artwork and track list with a...

From the ashes of Brat Summer, all hail the rise of But Also Still Brat Autumn. Charli Xcx’s world conquest with her zeitgeist-seizing Brat just keeps surging on her fantastic remix album, recruiting a dream team of big names to admit that it’s obvious, she’s their number one. The auteur who soundtracked the summer chanting “I wanna dance to me” has plenty of famous friends who agree — Lorde, Ariana, Billie, Matty, Robyn, and more. So Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat is more...

Each week, Consequence rings in New Music Friday by highlighting new albums to stream. As October rolls along, there’s plenty of new music to check out.

This week’s highlights feature a remix of Charli Xcx’s iconic Brat album, a deluxe edition of Duran Duran’s Danse Macabre, and fresh music from rising artists like The Linda Lindas and our October CoSign Chat Pile. Plus, The Offspring release their 11th studio album, while Dawes mark a new era with their first album with only the Goldsmith brothers as members.

Here are 10 new albums to stream today.

Charli Xcx – Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat

The clue is in the name; it’s the album you know and love, but remixed. With this new version of Brat, Charli Xcx has assembled an impressive array of guests, from her current tour co-headliner Troye Sivan to Ariana Grande,...

Charli Xcx has unveiled Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat, a remix version of her 2024 smash LP.

The stacked take on Brat features the previously released remixes: “Von dutch” with A.G. Cook and Addison Rae, “360” with Robyn and Yung Lean, the “Girl, so confusing” remix with Lorde, “Guess” with Billie Eilish, and “Talk Talk” featuring Troye Sivan. The project is rounded out by reimagined versions of all the other songs on Brat, including a new take on “Sympathy is a knife” with Ariana Grande and “I might say something stupid” with The 1975, where her fiancé, George Daniel, serves as drummer.

The album also welcomes Bon Iver for one of the more introspective songs on the LP, “I think about it all the time.” Longtime collaborator A.G. Cook also appears on the new version of “So I,” while Consequence CoSign...

In an age when remix packages often include little more than sped-up and slowed-down versions of songs tailor-made for TikTok, Charli Xcx’s Brat and It’s Completely Different but Also Still Brat takes a more holistic approach. The album serves as an extension of Charli’s project as an artist, and rather than commission a bunch of DJs to reinterpret the songs, they’re produced chiefly by Brat’s original creators.

In the wake of that album’s success, fame—with all of its pleasures and, mostly, pitfalls—forms an even more central thematic core here. Tracks like “Sympathy Is a Knife” take on stan culture, with guest Ariana Grande echoing subject matter that she explores on her own recent song “Yes, And?”—“It’s a knife when you’re so pretty they think it must be fake/It’s a knife when they dissect your body on the front page”—while “Von Dutch,...

Charli Xcx’s Brat remix Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat doesn’t come out until Friday, but the pop star’s already set to take it on the road, announcing a surprise gig at Storm King Art Center this week in upstate New York to share the new record.

Charli Xcx’s lime green Brat cover artwork has played a key part in making the album a cultural phenomenon, but the British artist certainly didn’t plan it that way. In a recent interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, she revealed it was done for budgetary reasons because she didn’t think the project was going to be a hit.

“Where the actual first idea of doing a text cover came from was to save money,” Charli explained, “I was like, ‘This album is not going to appeal to a lot of people.'”

As a result, it made more sense to allocate money elsewhere: “I was like, ‘I think I will do a press shoot and then maybe we just save on the album cover.'”

When Charli’s manager, creative director, and friends all thought the text cover was “the stupidest idea ever,...

Charli Xcx never thought Brat was going to have the cultural impact it has. In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, the pop star revealed that she opted for the now-iconic chartreuse text cover to save money.

Charli xcx took over 2024 with her album Brat!

The 32-year-old musician’s sixth studio album proved to be a massive hit this year, providing smashes like “360,” “Von Dutch,” “Guess” and TikTok viral sensation “Apple.”

In the past few months, certain songs off of the album have gone on to become especially huge.

In celebration of the forthcoming superstar-filled Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat remix album out Friday (October 11), we’re taking a look at the most popular Brat tracks, and ranking them based on Spotify streams.

Brat summer might be over, but the iconic chartreuse album is getting another life. On Friday, Charli Xcx confirmed the collaborators on Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat, including songs with Ariana Grande, Tinashe, the 1975, and Bon Iver. The remix LP is set to drop on Oct. 11.

Over the last several days across the world, Charli’s team has put up neon green billboards with backwards text in the hometowns of the artists featured.

Charli Xcx’s lookalikes keep multiplying. People say they’re alike, that they’ve got the same hair. Except this time, it isn’t Lorde on the other side of the comparison — it’s Saturday Night Live cast member Bowen Yang. The comedian took on the musician’s persona during a recent skit about her blockbuster album Brat. Charli took no offense to the performance. In fact, she was kind of impressed by the wig selection.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) said that House Speaker Mike Johnson no longer has the respect of House GOP members.

Greene said this to former Rep. Dave Brat (R-Virginia) during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room over the weekend.

Brat has been guest-hosting for Bannon, who is currently in jail. He asked the Georgia representative if Johnson could get the House GOP behind his attempts to stave off a government shutdown.

Across the U.S., teens are preparing for high school homecoming football games and dances. Last night at Madison Square Garden saw a homecoming of a different sort: New York teenagers (a.k.a. 27-31-year-olds) donned wraparound sunglasses and baby tees to dance out the final gasps of Brat Summer — Brautumn, if you will — at Charli Xcx and Troye Sivan’s Sweat Tour.

Brat Summer originally took root right here in New York. The months-long, frenzied phenomenon was foreshadowed in February with Charli’s elusive Boiler Room set at a warehouse in Bushwick,...

During Charli Xcx‘s stop at Madison Square Garden for her co-headlining Sweat tour with Troye Sivan, the “Von Dutch” singer was joined by Lorde during Monday’s performance.

In a surprise set, Lorde took the stage to perform their “Girl, so confusing” remix alongside Charli for the first time. The pair strutted side-by-side, as they sang the pre-chorus: “People say we’re alike/They say we’ve got the same hair/It’s you and me on the coin the industry loves to spend/And when we put this to bed,...

Don’t worry, everyone — Brat fall is coming. British bop-maker Charli Xcx has announced a new version of her widely popular album, out on Oct. 11.

“Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat,” the musician posted to her X account Thursday, confirming link-ups with Troye Sivan on Brat tune “Talk talk” and Lorde on “Girl, so confusing.” Billie Eilish will feature on “Guess,” Robyn and Yung Lean on “360” and Addison Rae on “Von dutch.”

The album will include a second disc with the original album and its three bonus tracks.

Critically acclaimed pop album Brat has defined a genre of music for the entirety of this summer, with Kamala Harris’ team even adopting the meme-ified trend and accompanying music to appeal to younger voters in the upcoming U.S. election.

Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat – Out oct 11. https://t.co/vWz35Wccrl pic.

Charli Xcx’s Brat Summer will continue into the fall when she releases Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat on Oct. 11. It’s a re-imagined version of her hit LP Brat featuring new songs, and remixes of album cuts with guests like Billie Eilish, Lorde, Robyn, Troye Sivan, and Addison Rae. Check out a remix of “Talk talk” with Sivan.

Brat is the most acclaimed album of Charli Xcx’s 13-year recording career, and singles like “360,” “Guess,” and “Apple” have been inescapable throughout the summer.

Charli Xcx has announced a new version of her smash 2024 album Brat, titled Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat, due out October 11th. She’s also shared the latest remix of one of Brat’s original tracks, “Talk Talk,” featuring her friend and future tourmate Troye Sivan.

Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat is comprised of each subsequent remix that Charli Xcx has released before and after her album rollout: There’s the “Von dutch” remix with A.G.

Whether Brat Summer has ended or not, the Brat girls are continuing to stay booked and busy. For Chloë Sevigny, she will soon be starring in Ryan Murphy’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” and she also just celebrated the premiere of Durga Chew-Bose’s “Bonjour Tristesse” at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The latter is an adaptation of Françoise Sagan’s 1954 coming-of-age novel, showcasing the complexities of relationships among women and how they can come to wield influence over one another’s fates.​ Sevigny tells us that the film is “very different” from the book.

“The book is very eternal,” she told IndieWire on the red carpet for the “Bonjour Tristesse” TIFF premiere. “So most of that Lily [McInerny] is having to play. It’s her responsibility, not mine. She’s playing the stakes [laughs]. But I think we capture the essence of the book and the essence of...

Charli Xcx is celebrating the end of Brat summer — and gearing up for Sweat tour fall! On Labor Day Monday, Charli Xcx bid farewell to summer 2024, which was musically defined by her iconic, chartreuse-colored pop album.

“Goodbye forever brat summer,” Charli wrote on X.

Following Brat’s success, Rolling Stone declared that “the world had finally caught up” with the singer. Brat, which dropped on June 7, dominated the cultural conversation this summer, thanks to lyrics in songs “Von Dutch” and “360,” such as “I’m everywhere, I’m so Julia.

Maybe Matt Groening was saying “boo-urns.”

Back in the 1990s, comedy shows collaborating to make crowd-pleasing crossover episodes was all the rage. Friends and Mad About You connected their comedy universes via Phoebe’s twin sister Ursula. Steve Urkel from Family Matters crashed the Tanner household in a Full House episode. The Jeffersons appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air twice — that’s double the visits of Will’s dad. While these kinds of very special episodes may not have been the most artistically inspired publicity stunts, these marketing department’s delights certainly weren’t anything worthy of shame or derision, let alone a full-scale press tour from either show’s creator as they disowned the project like it’s a nefarious failson who committed treason against the crown. That is, unless you ask Groening.

Leading up to the airing of the iconic Season Six Simpsons episode “A Star Is Burns,...

Pop stars Charli Xcx and Taylor Swift have squashed fan speculation of their feud, which is largely rooted in the lyrics of Brat song “Sympathy is a Knife.”

“People are gonna think what they want to think,” the British singer-songwriter and DJ said in a new New York Magazine cover story. “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.”

Chatter about the music industry peers’ relationship can be traced back to when the “365” singer first toured with Swift in 2018 for the latter’s Reputation stadium tour. The following year, when reflecting on the experience, she told Pitchfork that it “felt like I was getting up on stage and waving to 5-year-olds.” (She apologized afterward.)

Charli Xcx has reluctantly embraced her tweet declaring Kamala Harris is “brat” becoming a phenomenon during this year’s presidential election.

In her New York magazine cover story, the pop star was asked about the divisive social media statement about the vice president. She explained that she wrote it while relaxing in the pool at her Los Angeles home, not thinking much about it as a political endorsement, but rather “something positive and lighthearted” to welcome the new presidential nominee.

However, the English singer’s approval for Harris led to her album, Brat — which had already become part of the zeitgeist this summer with the music’s “no cares” attitude, viral star-studded remixes and the eye-catching green cover art — being co-opted by Harris’ political campaign and turned into a meme. Now Harris’ “brat” status was being discussed on CNN and Fox News. Even Bill Maher weighed in, opining that Harris being “brat” sounds “like Trump.

Kamala Harris isn’t the only Democratic politician claiming Brat Summer. Barack Obama has shared his yearly summer playlist, and it includes (you guessed it) the green queen herself, Charli Xcx. Rounding out his list is a mix of modern hits and old-school classics; see Obama’s full summer playlist below.

In addition to the Brat cut “365,” the former president included Billie Eilish’s “Chihro,” Tems’ “Love Me Jeje,” Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” and H.E.R.’s “Process.” The Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” Bob Dylan’s “Silvio,” and Sting’s “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free” introduce a healthy classic rock presence, while the Charles Mingus track “Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting” and Pharaoh Sanders’ “Love Is Everywhere” proves he still gets jazzy with it.

It’s a Brat and Billie summer! On Thursday, Charli Xcx and Billie Eilish released a remix for Charli’s song “Guess” that’s sending the internet into a frenzy.

The pair also released a video that follows the stars at a steamy house party with underwear flying, playing on Charli’s lyric, “You wanna guess the color of my underwear/You wanna know what I got going on down there.”

Mid-video, Eilish (literally) crashes the flying-panty party as she drives into the building on a massive tractor. In her verse,...

Despite what the headlines say, Brat Summer appears to be alive and well. Charli Xcx is making sure of it, as the pop star just dropped a remix of “Guess” featuring Billie Eilish. In keeping with the theme of the song, the accompanying music video finds Charli and Billie parading around a mountain of bras and panties.

According to a press release, all of bras and underwear used in the video were donated to I Support The Girls, which collects and distributes essential items people experiencing homelessness, impoverishment or distress.

Initially teased via a series of Instagram posts, the remix brings together two artists who are having absolutely massive summers. Charli Xcx’s Brat has seemingly taken over the zeitgeist, and Eilish’s recent Hit Me Hard and Soft has spawned such successful cuts as “Lunch” and “Birds Of A Feather.” The latter project even...

With presidential candidate Kamala Harris and even some tone-deaf Republicans co-opting the Brat aesthetic and lingo on social media, it seemed like Charli Xcx’s cultural currency had reached critical mass. Pitchfork, Dazed, and others were quick to prematurely declare “Brat Summer” over. To which the singer promptly clapped back, “oh ? see u next week :)”

The latest Brat brand extension is a new remix of “Guess,” featuring Billie Eilish. A standout track from the album’s cheekily titled deluxe edition, Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not, the frenetic hyperpop song (co-written by Charli and 100 gecs’s Dylan Brady) echoes Eilish’s own tongue-in-cheek ode to oral sex, “Lunch.” “You wanna guess the color of my underwear/You wanna know what I got going on down there,” Charli teases before Eilish gets in on the not-so-subtle innuendo: “Charli likes boys,...

When Kamala Harris was running for California attorney general in 2010, a young professionals group threw a campaign fundraiser at a now-defunct nightclub in Los Angeles called h.wood. Hundreds attended for a door fee of $45. “The nightclub was so packed out, she had to stand on top of a table in order to be heard,” says then event co-chair Todd Hawkins of Hawkins Mikita, a social impact group that connects Hollywood with political and philanthropic causes.

Hawkins has been active in leading various incarnations of young political organizations since 2006 when Gen44, a fundraising group that charged a $44 entry fee for such casual outings as nightclub events and basketball games was founded to support Barack Obama as the 44th president. Taking a page from bigwig Hollywood bundlers like Jeffrey Katzenberg and Haim Saban, Hawkins adopted the model of must-attend events with stars who connect with the younger demographic of Gen44. Celebrities like Jared Leto,...

Wet Leg brought Brat to Truck Festival 2024 with an impromptu cover of Charli Xcx’s single “360.” The indie rock band headed by Hester Chambers and Rhian Teasdale slotted their own unique take on the record into their 11-track set list.

After just missing the launch of Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign last weekend, John Oliver kicked off Sunday’s episode of Last Week Tonight by unpacking the week of Brat.

The comedian roasted Jake Tapper over his confusion around Charli Xcx‘s meme-worthy endorsement of Harris while promoting her sixth studio album Brat, which “unfortunately set off days of CNN trying to explain to its audience what the f*ck that means.”

“‘You’re just that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes,'” Jamie Gangel quoted the Grammy Award nominee during a CNN panel, in which Tapper then asked, “So, is the idea that we’re all kinda Brat, and Vice President Harris is Brat?”

Oliver then exclaimed, “No Jake, that’s not it at all! We are not all kinda Brat, you’re either Brat or you’re not!

After Pitchfork and several other outlets have declared Brat Summer dead, Charli Xcx has responded, hinting that new content may be coming next week.

Sharing screenshots of posts by Pitchfork, Dazed, and Antiart — all alluding to the end of Brat Summer in the wake of her now-viral tweet, “kamala Is brat” — Charli said “oh ? see u next week :)” Adding to the excitement, Chappell Roan shared a photo with Charli’s brat CD, teasing a possible collaboration. See the posts below.

It’s unclear exactly what’s coming next week, but what is clear is that Brat’s cultural stock has skyrocketed since the album dropped this past June. With its distinct chartreuse palette and frank typography, its aesthetic influence quickly grew beyond Charli’s listenership, and ultimately stepped right into the national spotlight with the endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Capitalizing on the moment after Charli’s tweet,...

If Brat Summer has taught us anything, it’s that Charli Xcx is always full of surprises. This just in: She wants to make a Lou Reed record.

In a cover story with Billboard, the pop star contemplated the future of her career and what it would be like if Brat was her final album. “I don’t know,” she said. “I’m just so deep in this, I can’t see outside of Brat, but it’s funny. I kind of want to make a Lou Reed record, to be honest.
