Since last year, Charli XCX has been releasing her next studio album, Shockwhich will be out in March. Most recently, she released the Rina Sawayama collaboration “pray for you“; it also just leaked that she is attached to act in After the party, “the world’s first NFT-controlled arts and music festival” taking place in Las Vegas next month. This morning, the pop star posted a statement on her social media accounts talking about the toll negative comments from the public have taken on her mental health.
“I’ve always had a pretty open dialogue with you guys so I just want to mention a few things that have been on my mind recently,” Charli XCX wrote in her statement. “I’ve been feeling like I can’t do anything right at the moment. I know social media isn’t exactly a haven for kindness and positivity, but overall I’ve always felt pretty safe with you guys here.” She continued:
I’ve noticed lately that some people seem pretty mad at me: about the songs I’ve chosen to release, about the way I’ve decided to launch my campaign, about the things I need to do to fund what’s going to be the biggest tour I’ve ever done. , for the things I say, the things I do, etc. I have been dealing with my mental health a lot in the last few months and it obviously makes the negativity and criticism harder to deal with when you find it and of course I know this is a common struggle for most people in this day and age. But yeah anyway… I just wanted to jump in here and say hey I’m really here doing my best and working hard to make stuff that’s exciting and exciting and honestly there’s a lot more crazy stuff to come 😉!
In the meantime, I’m thinking of tweeting from afar when I feel like saying something and having someone else post it, just for a while, because I really can’t handle it here right now. Eternal love, Charlie x
