After Gallow and several other outlets have declared Brat Summer dead, Charli XCX has responded, hinting that new content could be coming next week.
Charli shared screenshots of posts from Pitchfork, Dazed, and ANTIART (all alluding to the end of Brat Summer in the wake of her now-viral tweet, “kamala IS brat”) and said, “oh see you next week :).” To add to the excitement, Chappell Roan shared a photo with Charli’s Brat CD, hinting at a possible collaboration.

It's not clear exactly what's coming next week, but what is clear is that GOLF CLUBCharli’s cultural cachet has skyrocketed since the album dropped last June.

Plus, Charli's “Sweat” tour with Troye Sivan will kick off in September and head to cities like New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and more. (Buy tickets here).
