'Taylor Is Dead' Chant Disgusts Charli XCX: Singer Denounces Taylor Swift Hate at Her Show

Charli XCX refused to tolerate her anti-Taylor Swift fans.

A viral X video showed Charli XCX performing at her album release party in São Paulo, Brazil. At one point in the clip, the audience can be heard yelling, "A Taylor Morreu," which reportedly means "Taylor is dead."

"Hey @charli_xcx, your brazilian fans have been showing toxic behavior by screaming "Taylor is dead!" in your concerts and events related to you. Could you do something about it? We don't belive that's what music should be about. @taylornation13 please take notice in that too," the user captioned the post, tagging Charlie XCX.

Charli XCX, the "Von Dutch" singer, took a strong stand on the issue in an Instagram story, expressing her unwavering stance against such behavior, saying she would not 'tolerate' it.

"Can the people who do this please stop. Whether it's online or at my shows," she said. "It is the opposite of what I want and it disturbs me that anyone would think there is room for this in our community, which is built on respect and love for music. I will not tolerate it."

Charlie XCX once opened for Swift's Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018. However, fans speculated she created her Brattrack "Sympathy is a Knife" about The Tortured Poets Department singer and her past relationship with the now-engaged The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

Following the release of the clip, a Reddit thread under the popculturechat collected opinions from internet users.

"No idea why any fan would think Charli would want something like this," one said, while a second wrote, "Honestly, so huge of her to address this. Competition is one thing but death threats are so unacceptable. Huge shoutout to Charli here, so much respect for her now."

Charli XCX's fans attacked the "So Long, London" singer following the release of the U.K.-exclusive digital variant of The Tortured Poets Department the same week the former shared Brat. They alleged Swift blocked Charli XCX from No. 1.

Amid the hate, Swift shared a powerful message at The Eras Tour's Wembley Stadium stop before singing her alleged diss track about Kim Kardashian, "thanK you aIMee."

"It really makes me think about how every time someone talks s---, it just makes me work even harder and it makes me even tougher," Swift said. "So, it also makes me incredibly thankful for those people."
