What's Happening?
Charli XCX headlined the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco, where her performance was marked by an unusual interaction with the audience. During her set, which was streamed on Amazon Music, Charli XCX maintained
her party girl persona, despite moving away from it in her latest album. The performance included a rain of underwear during the song 'Guess,' adding a unique twist to the show. Charli was accompanied by models who danced to her songs like 'Rock music,' 'Yeah,' and 'Apple.' Her minimal interaction with the audience allowed the music and the spectacle to take center stage. This performance is part of her festival circuit shows, which serve as a prelude to her upcoming Music, Fashion, Film tour later this year.
