Charli XCX has warned fans that recent 'Taylor Swift Is Dead' chants and other hateful acts will not be tolerated online or at her concerts.
over the years, online pop fandom has morphed into a war zone in which album sales, chart placements, and celebrity interactions are used as ammunition. It’s rare that the musicians themselves are on the frontlines of these battles between fan communities, which often run rampant with unchecked toxicity., criticizing the singer online and leading “Taylor Swift Is Dead” chants at concerts. Now that the attacks have crossed over into the offline realm, Charli is shutting them down.
In the caption of the original post, a fan sharing the clip wrote: “Hey @charli_xcx, your brazilian fans have been showing toxic behavior by screaming “Taylor is dead!” in your concerts and events related to you. Could you do something about it? We don’t belive that’s what music should be about. @taylornation13 please take notice in that too.”
Charli spoke at length about this dynamic between women. “We’ve got past the point of the media always pitting women against one another. In the mid to late 00s, it literally sold magazines and papers: ‘Britney versus Christina’, ‘Paris versus Lindsay,'” she explained. “Then feminism became a popular marketing tool. In the music industry, it was distilled into this idea that if you support women, and you like other women, then you’re a good feminist.
