Charli xcx Music, Fashion, Film tour review – an electrifying and deafening pop evolution
Barclays Center, Brooklyn The tireless star brings her latest, somewhat over-explained album to the stage for a dazzling and euphoric show For more than a year now, I have often returned, when seeking a bar for which to measure true pop transcendence, to the memory of Charli xcx taking the Other Stage at Glastonbury: the unofficial headliner, a year out from her culture-shifting opus Brat, commanded a dizzying 60,000 people with an imperious “don’t fucking play with me” and the stunning brute force of a performer at peak power. It was surreal, as a longtime fan, to witness an artist who was as recently as 2022 playing to cult followings in 2,000-cap venues convert thousands more in real time, to see years of hard-earned pop instincts and artistry collide with the zeitgeist in a career-defining, you-had-to-be-there achievement . But life goes on, of course, and Charli, like the rest of us
