Charli XCX has suggested that she may appear with Billie Eilish.The events kicked off on July 26 with an epic opening ceremony along the river Seine, featuring Lady Gaga performing French cabaret song ‘Mon truc en plumes’ and Gojira performing French Revolution song ‘Ah Ça Ira!’ with opera singer Marina Viotti.Celine Dion also performed for the first time in four years, taking on Edith Piaf’s ‘L’Hymne A L’Amour’ in her first show since she revealed in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome (SPS).Now, with the Paris games set to come to an end this Sunday (August 11), rumours about the closing ceremony have started to get momentum, and people are speculating which artists may perform on the night.According to a new report by Variety – which spoke to various sources related to the closing ceremony – one of those heavily rumoured to be appearing at the two-hour show at the Stade de France is Billie Eilish.Not only would this be timely, with the singer recently sharing her critically acclaimed third album ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’, but it would also be significant as the next instalment of the Olympic Games will be held in her native Los Angeles in 2028.Charli XCX has also added fuel to the fire with this rumour too, sharing an update online suggesting that she may be appearing with Eilish on the night to perform their new collaborative single ‘Guess’.Responding to a news update by PopCrave, the singer told fans “… you wanna guess ;)”.… you wanna guess

The 1975’s George Daniel has insisted that he doesn’t want his pursuit of a solo career to bring him more attention.The drummer, songwriter and producer launched his solo career last week, when he shared the debut single ‘Screen Cleaner’ and officially marked his new venture into the electronic dance genre. It arrived via dh2 – the electronic imprint he spearheads via The 1975’s label, Dirty Hit.Now, in a new interview with The Face, Daniel has reflected on his decision to launch a solo venture and explained that he hasn’t done so in the hopes of bringing more attention to himself.“I have a huge amount of imposter syndrome with this stuff – I think about this every day, like ‘Oh, this is the guy who plays drums and produces this band, they’re successful, now he decides he’s going to do a label because every other video on Instagram is a DJ right now’ – that’s my nightmare,” he told the outlet.He continued, adding that he doesn’t want to be seen in the same way as his 1975 bandmate Matty Healy because of the new material.

Charli XCX recently celebrated her 32nd birthday, and she had some of her ‘Brat’ co-conspirators by her side at a party.Last Saturday (August 2), Charli XCX hosted her birthday party at a private event in Los Angeles – commemorating both turning 32 and the ensuing success of her latest album.At the star-studded shindig, which boasted attendees like Rosalia, Anya Taylor-Joy and Glen Powell, Charli was joined by Lorde and Billie Eilish as they played their collaborative tracks over house speakers.Footage shared by fans on social media show Lorde singing along to her confessional verse on ‘Girl, so confusing’ alongside Charli, with the crowd joining in on the line “Let’s work it out on the remix”. Later on, Eilish joins Charli for their ‘Guess’ remix, which was released last Friday (August 2).Fans also commemorated the first new pictures of Lorde and Charli together since 2014, when both were in attendance at that year’s MTV Video Music Awards ceremony.girl, so confusing at charli’s bday w lorde omg pic.twitter.com/mOnB0mTArF— se@n.

Charli XCX and Billie Eilish had joined forces on a new remix of ‘Brat’ deluxe edition track ‘Guess’, and already fans are suspecting that one of the lyrics might be a diss towards Taylor Swift.Shared last night (August 2), the track is co-produced by The Dare and Finneas, and sees Eilish adopt her whispered cadence for the suggestive and explosive dance track.It also dropped alongside an Aidan Zamiri-directed music video, which shows Charli and The Dare holding a party in a living room, before Eilish bulldozes her way through the wall.Now, fans have already begun looking into the lyrics, and suspect that one of the lines towards the end is a subtle jab at fellow pop icon Taylor Swift.“You wanna guess what me and Billie have been textin’ about? (You’ve been disrespectful)/ Still tryin’ to guess the password to my Google Drive (Are you obsessed with me?)/ You wanna guess the address of the party we’re at (You really are not invited),” the two whisper at the end of the track.The shady lyrics about who the two have been gossiping about are suspected by some fans to be a diss towards Swift, seemingly because the artist blocked both Eilish and Charli from the Number One spot on the charts.This happened as the ‘Midnights’ singer would release different variants of her latest album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ to maintain her hold on the chart-topping position – something which some fans interpreted as being unfair to other acts (via The Tab).The outlet also recalled how fuel was added to the fire with the rumours about the ‘Guess’ lyrics following reports of some of Eilish’s team liked negative tweets about the TTPD variants when the album was released.

Joe Biden dropping out a little more than three months before election day — a move with no precedent in the past half century? Don’t be silly.Could it be the assassination attempt on Donald Trump two weeks ago, and the energized Republican National Convention that began only days later? Wrong again!How about Trump’s selection of Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate?That’s three strikes.No, pinky-out publications such as the Atlantic, Guardian and New York Times — so serious! so respectable! — are insisting that the Washington game-changer worth endless analysis is the word “brat.” Those deluded lunatics claim that the four little letters, which could refer to either Veruca Salt or a grilled German sausage, will galvanize Gen Z into voting in droves for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.How utterly moronic they are.Journalists’ barely veiled giddiness comes, in this instance, because “brat” is a popular new album from singer Charli XCX, which has led to young cultural lemmings, with zero identity other than stupid catchphrases, referring to June through August as their “brat summer.”What does this have to do with the aspiring Democratic Party nominee? Well, the singer wrote on X that “Kamala IS brat” — dumb, meaningless — which caused one of Harris’s official X accounts, @kamalahq, to then change its banner to the avocado green color of the album. Screw the southern border.

Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race over the weekend (July 21), and it was confirmed that vice president Kamala Harris would be representing the Democratic party in the upcoming election.Almost immediately, a plethora of famous faces came forward to back her bid, including John Legend – who called for the American public to “elect Kamala Harris as our President” – George Takei, and Jamie Lee Curtis. However, it was support from Charli XCX that drew the most attention, as the singer made a nod to the success of her latest album (and pop culture phenomenon) by sharing a tweet reading “Kamala IS brat”.Not only did it play into ‘Brat’ being the album of the summer, it also came after a video of the Vice President was mashed up with the Charli song ‘360’ was created and soon went viral online.kamala harris edit to 360 by charli xcx.
