Charli XCX gave fans at the MTV Movie Awards a double dose of music, performing her tune "Famous" before Tinashe and Ty Dolla $ign joined her for the their collaboration "Drop That Kitty." While XCX's first performance was relatively tame, "Drop That Kitty," as you could imagine, was filled with plenty of gyrating dancers and sexual innuendos.
The pop star kicked off "Famous" by strumming a giant, inflatable guitar while fronting an all-female backing band. XCX brought some great energy to the stage, and it carried over into "Drop That Kitty" when the other artists came out. Surrounded by dancers in mice costumes, Ty Dolla $ign, Tinashe and XCX gave the crowd a memorable performance. Check it out over at MTV.
XCX was at the show to promote her latest release, Sucker, which dropped last year. The effort hit No. 28 on the Billboard 200 behind singles like "Boom Clap," "Break the Rules" and "Doing It." It was met with positive reviews.
"Charli XCX finally seems to be having her moment. After helping bring songs like 'I Love It' and 'Fancy' to the top of the charts, she no longer needs to prove that she knows how to write a pop song," Music Times wrote. "But why keep making other people tons of money when you can be the star? Although this isn't the U.K. songstress's first release, it ultimately serves as her mainstream debut -- as her last album, True Romance, received critical acclaim but didn't manage to find commercial success."
Ty Dolla $ign recruited XCX and Tinashe for the first single off his upcoming album Free TC. The artist hopes to release his debut this spring. R. Kelly, Wiz Khalifa and Kendrick Lamar all make guest appearances on the effort.
