Charli XCX ‘happy to help’ after Kamala Harris tweet influences presidential push

BBG News

As a lifelong music enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of pop culture from the boombox era to the smartphone generation, I must say that Charli XCX’s impact on Vice President Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign was nothing short of electrifying! The vibrant energy and infectious charm of her “Brat” album resonated with a generation yearning for change and found its perfect match in Harris’ campaign.

It’s clear that Charli XCX had a significant impact on Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, whether she intended it or not.

The popular singer, known for hits like “Vroom Vroom” and “Guess,” recently discussed the impact of her viral “Brat” album and its distinctive green style on Harris’ social media presence. In a recent interview, she made it clear that she doesn’t identify as a political artist.

She made it clear to New York Magazine that she’s not like Bob Dylan and has never tried to be. Her music, she emphasized, is not about politics. Instead, every aspect of her life influences her art, including what she thinks, wears, and enjoys. Politics doesn’t play a role in fueling her artistic creations.

This year, prior to now, the British pop artist, who doesn’t have U.S. voting rights, debuted her album “Brat” to significant praise from critics and rapid spread on social media sites like X (previously Twitter) and TikTok. For a span of weeks, the lively music sparked viral dance challenges, an abundance of memes, and numerous other internet content. However, in late July, the term “brat” unexpectedly entered the political dialogue.

Following President Biden’s exit from the presidential race and his endorsement of his vice president, Charli XCX (Charlotte Aitchison) tweeted, “Kamala is a rebel.” Leveraging the widespread appeal and internet presence of her album, Kamala Harris’ campaign swiftly adopted the term “Rebel” and its style, sharing memes and redesigning their @KamalaHQ account to resemble the hit album’s cover. In just a few weeks, “rebel” and its association with the campaign’s attempts to attract younger voters became a trending topic and headline news on networks like CNN.

In a conversation with New York Magazine, the 32-year-old vocalist clarified that her tweet wasn’t meant as an endorsement for Harris, but instead as something cheerful and uplifting. Moreover, she acknowledged that she has grown to accept her part in this election cycle.

“Supporting democracy and women’s rights is extremely significant to me, as expressed by Charli XCX. I’m more than willing to contribute in any way that helps ensure democracy thrives for generations to come.”

During Harris’ campaign against former President Trump, several celebrities have shown their support, not just the singer. Last week’s Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee was a glamorous event that attracted stars like Oprah Winfrey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Kerry Washington.
