Fandom
Her fans are nicknamed "Angels", inspired by Charlie's Angels. She coined this herself on a Facebook post in 2014.[1]
Ok so, i never named my fanbase because I always thought it was kinda weird but then today I was just like, you know what Charli's Angels is really such a cool name so I kinda HAVE to put it to use. Then someone made this. Then I was sold. So if u want to.... You can be my Angels. Love you xxx
Fan Opinions
Brat
Songs aside, Brat is a marvel as a modern album era. W. the nonstop glut of music + various cultural stimuli vying for attention, it's become nearly impossible for any album to have a shelf life. That we're still talking ab this at all 4 months post-release is a monumental feat.DJLouieXIV, Oct 12, 2024 [2]
Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat
she made probably the best album of the year, reached a peak of fame and, rather than capitalise further on it, took all of that apart to make something more experimental, mature and personal than anything she’s done before. this feels more like a victory lap for her whole careernextlevelbertie, Oct 10, 2024 [3]
i’m kinda fascinated by the irony of the brat album cycle, because charli basically wrote the definitive “pop’s middle class” concept record, and it articulated that phenomenon so well that it pulled charli out of pop’s middle classgrace_roso, Oct 11, 2024 [4]
