Charli XCX just made it clear: she’s not ready to move on from Brat – and she’s not pretending otherwise.
In a raw TikTok update, the Von Dutch singer admitted that letting go of her 2024 mega album Brat feels almost impossible. “It’s really hard to let go of ‘Brat,’” she said. And honestly, can you blame her? This era didn’t just make waves – it basically became its own pop culture ecosystem.
Charli explained that Brat isn’t just an album to her. It’s her whole identity right now. “It’s so inherently me. It’s become my entire life,” she said, reflecting on how she spent two full years planning every detail – from the music to the visuals – long before anyone even heard the first track.
Even though she gets how pop culture usually works – get hot, stay a bit, then vanish to stay cool – Charli’s flirting with the idea of sticking around longer than usual. “I’m interested in the tension of staying too long. I find that fascinating,” she added. Staying visible when people expect you to disappear? That’s classic chaotic Brat behavior, and fans are living for it.
Right now, Charli’s on the road with her Brat Tour across the U.S., and the momentum hasn’t slowed down. The green, neon-sick visuals from the Brat cover basically exploded into a whole aesthetic takeover – from TikTok trends to fashion lines to even political memes (yes, remember when she called Kamala Harris a “Brat”?). The word “Brat” even got crowned Collins Dictionary’s Word of the Year.
In her words? She “kind of just wants it to keep going.” No reset, no sudden rebrand – just letting Brat evolve into whatever it wants to become.
And honestly? She’s not wrong. If Brat still feels fresh, still inspires fans, and still feels like her, why slam the brakes? Charli XCX isn’t just riding the Brat wave – she’s redefining what a pop era can even look like.
If you thought Brat was ending soon… think again.
