While the Swifties and Bey Hive dream of a world where Taylor Swift and Beyoncé come together to jointly endorse U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee, one singer is already getting the party started.
British pop singer Charli XCX has entered the virtual chat, posting “kamala IS brat” on X on Sunday.
If you don’t understand what that means, you are both not alone and in a safe space. Welcome to “Bratology 101.”
“Brat” is less a noun than it is a concept, though it is also a thing.
The title of Charli XCX’s sixth studio album, she envisions a “brat” as someone who has a “pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra.”
“You’re just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes,” she explained in a video shared on TikTok.
“Who feels like herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of like parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But it’s brat. You’re brat. That’s brat.”
