Charli XCX's Glastonbury Surprise: Gracie Abrams Named 'Apple Girl'!
Glastonbury 2024: Charli XCX's Shocking Apple Girl Reveal!
The drama is real, folks! In a jaw-dropping moment that left fans gasping for air, pop sensation Charli XCX crowned Gracie Abrams as her "Apple girl" during her electrifying Glastonbury headline slot on Saturday. But what exactly does it mean to be an "Apple girl"? Well, let's dive into the juicy details!
For those who might not be familiar with the term, being an "Apple girl" is a tradition started by Charli XCX herself. The Dance The Night hitmaker, 32, has made it a point to feature a special surprise guest performing the viral TikTok dance to her track Apple during her live shows. And this year's Glastonbury performance was no exception!
As Charli took to the stage on Saturday, she clutched a glass of white wine and teased the crowd, "You know what time it is, now who the f**k is going to be 'Apple girl' at Glastonbury? Who did you find out there? Someone cute?" The suspense was killing us!
And then, in a stunning move that left everyone speechless, the camera panned to none other than singer Gracie Abrams, 25 - the daughter of Hollywood director J.J. Abrams. The young songstress was more than thrilled to showcase her skills and playfully perform the iconic dance moves, including the infamous "holding an apple" gesture.
But what's even more fascinating is that this isn't just a random selection process. Charli has been doing this for years, and previous "Apple girls" have included Chappell Roan, her fiancé George Daniel from The 1975, Rosé from Blackpink, and Chicken Shop Date podcaster Amelia Dimoldenberg. So, what makes Gracie so special?
As it turns out, Charli's choice of Apple girl at this year's festival has sparked some controversy on social media. Some have even accused the singer of "buying" her way into Glastonbury with Gracie, implying that her father J.J. Abrams might have had a hand in getting his daughter the coveted spot.
But despite the haters, most fans were absolutely delighted to see Gracie Abram's impressive performance. One enthusiastic fan raved on social media, "GRACIE ABRAMS WAS THE APPLE GIRL AT GLASTONBURY OH MY F**KING GOD SHE'S INSANE!" Another commentator gushed, "gracie as the apple girl shut up this is everything to me."
However, not everyone was thrilled about Charli's choice of Apple girl. Some fans took to social media to vent their frustrations, with one even creating a viral meme suggesting that Gracie's father had paid for her spot. Ouch! But as we all know, there's no smoke without fire, and it seems like some folks are just jealous of the drama surrounding this year's Glastonbury.
And if you thought that was all, wait till you hear about Charli's scathing response to critics who claimed she was miming or using autotune during her performance. In a cheeky X post (formerly known as Twitter), Charli fired back at her detractors, saying, "Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a 'real artist' is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx"
But what's even more interesting is Charli's admission that she enjoys stirring up controversy. "Really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on my Glastonbury performance," she quipped. "It's super fascinating to me." And we have to admit, it's not every day you see an artist embracing the drama and sparking conversations about the nature of art itself.
In related news, some viewers took to social media to express their disappointment with Charli's energetic (but allegedly autotuned) performance. One commentator wrote, "Can’t be just me? Charlie xcx is truly truly terrible? This is not actual music is it?" Ouch! But let's be real, folks - when you're pushing the boundaries of art and sparking conversations, some people are bound to get a little...frosty.
All in all, Charli XCX's Glastonbury performance was one for the books. From her racy display in tiny leather hot pants to her tongue-in-cheek response to critics, this artist is not afraid to speak her mind and take risks. And we love her for it!
