Charli XCX set off a firestorm of social media engagement and street cred of sorts for Kamala Harris by tweeting just three words last month—but the star told Vulture that she hadn’t put much thought into it.
“I obviously knew what I was doing,” the British pop star told the site, though she didn’t know she’d be influencing the campaign, as she’d only meant the tweet as “something positive and lighthearted.”
For context, according to the singer, a “brat” is a “very honest” and sometimes messy party girl. Her album of the same name has spawned thousands of Gen Z memes and led to many people declaring that they’re having a “brat summer.”
