Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of Brat, but Charli XCX instead spent the day reflecting on a 2004 album as she joined French electronic duo Air for a performance of their “Cherry Blossom Girl” at Paris’ We Love Green festival.
Charli XCX served as headliner at the Paris fest, but before her performance, she popped up during Air’s set to perform the Talkie Walkie track, with Air turning their video screens the color of Brat green in honor of the singer.
“Dreams come true <3,” Charli wrote on social media after the cameo.
The singer will next headline Porto, Portugal’s Primavera Sound festival on June 12, the latest stop on a European tour that includes festivals like Denmark’s Roskilde, Norway’s Oya and Sweden’s Way Out West.
Charli XCX, who also recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of her How I’m Doing Now, spoke about the much-anticipated follow-up to Brat. “I don’t really feel the pressure to create another record like Brat,” she said during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival.
“When I was making [Brat], even though I really believed in it and totally knew what I wanted to do with it, I had no idea how it would be received,” she continued. “ … So yeah, I don’t really feel the pressure because I feel that you can never really do the same thing twice, and my next record will probably be a flop, which I’m down for to be honest.”
