Charli XCX is back on the road, and the timing could not feel more right. She kicked off her Music, Fashion, Film tour in Philly last night, and the setlist delivered on every front: a live debut, a deep cut, and a killer Underscores collab that fans were not expecting.
This is the era to watch. After Brat rewired pop culture last year, Charli keeps proving she can pivot without losing the thread that made tracks like "Vroom Vroom" back in 2016 feel so ahead of their time. The oldie in the set was a nice nod to the longtime crowd, a reminder that she has been building this world for a decade.
Bringing Underscores onstage was the moment. Two artists who understand chaos and craft, feeding off each other in real time. Philly got the first taste, and the rest of the run should only sharpen it.
Music, Fashion, Film. She is living all three at once. Catch this tour while you can.
