I want her to have commercial success she has so many bangers and bops.i love  the  whole hyperpop to the extreme she has going on except for the experimental noisy ones like club classics and von dutch. Those i dont like but the rest is a serve. Shes too weird and individualistic. She doesnt fit as the traditional popstar. She's really cool though. She's lifestyle,an icon and a trendsetter.

Charli is probably the most unique popstar in the game. She's effortlessly cool and transgressively punk in a way nearly all the other girls try to manufacture but can't because they care too much. I think her early successes with Boom Clap, I Love It, and Fancy allowed her the space and the cash to kind of do whatever the **** she wants.

I got like 5 random hate tweets for Brat on my FY page all from swifties... Why are they even checking on Charli?

I think it started from a viral "anti Taylor" tweet , also probably because someone else besides Taylor is getting acclaim

Went into this album without listening to any single (besides Von Dutch) and wow she really delivered a strong AOTY contender 

 

I feel like this album perfectly bridges the gap between Crash and HIFN. Very sonically innovative and experimental but without losing the catchy melodies and monster hooks. She has such an amazing ear for pop  

 

360, Talk talk & B2b is my trinity for the moment

Because after Taylor gave her the opportunity of a lifetime opening on a stadium tour, Charli XCX complained that it was like "going on stage and waving to 5 year olds." We don't start **** but we can tell you how it ends.

 

Add in that one of the songs on here is supposedly about Taylor, too…

I'm in the uk and my 360 brat came ripped right through to the vinyl which now has scratches and the whole sleeve was bent 

 

Emailed customer support hoping I get a refund, glad I bought another one on release day

mte and I love Taylor

Charli has clearly clarified her intentions regarding that comment about the rep tour, and how the interviewer quoted her weirdly to make it seem like she was dissing the audience when what she was trying to say is the rep tour audience is very different from her own audience when she was performing at clubs or at her shows at the same time.

 

also, the song on brat is about her own insecurity and paranoia instead of anything substantial about your fav.

 

some swifties will cling onto the version of events made up in their own heads forever and base it to attack anyone and everyone. Please leave this thread when all we want to do is celebrate this record instead of talking about your victimized fav.

I gave this a try and I don't get it

 

I liked So I and Girl, so confusing. Von dutch and Talk talk were kind of fun, but otherwise it was borderline unlistenable or just repetitive. Club classics is awful  

 

Why did this randomly get rave reviews compared to her previous works?

More like Taylor Fans are mad because they cant accurately loop her success back to being "because of Taylor" like they do with everyone else.
