Charli XCX Says She Made ‘Brat’ Expecting Her Label Might Drop Her

Her Goop interview signals a pivot toward string‑led music alongside on‑screen work.

Overview

  • She told Gwyneth Paltrow she made Brat for herself, accepting the possibility of being dropped by her label.
  • The 2024 album later topped the UK chart, reached the top 10 in 14 countries, earned nine Grammy nominations with three wins, and powered a viral “Brat summer.”
  • She says her next record will diverge from Brat as she experiments with writing and production centered on strings.
  • She is expanding into film with roles in Faces of Death and The Gallerist, both in post‑production, and with A24’s The Moment, which she will star in and co‑produce.
  • She discussed marrying The 1975’s George Daniel and said she remains unsure about having children, noting stigma toward women who do not want kids.
