With her stardom appearance, Charli XCX made London’s New Year Eve fireworks show a memorable and worth remembering one.
The celebration took place on the River Thames as Big Ben struck midnight and 2024 shifted to 2025.
Airing on BBC and ITV, Charli XCX‘s big year made it into the city’s annual fireworks display. Greenlighting the sky as captured in photos shared online,her influence on the fireworks show is immediately recognizable.
The night’s Brat-inspired moment can be seen in full here, via a clip Charli’s fans shared on X (formerly Twitter). Along with that familiar shade of green, album track “Apple” plays and “london” appears typewritten in the style of Charli’s album art.
On Instagram, Charli also reflected on Brat‘s massive success over the past year
She wrote in a December post “So many highs in 2024 and i cba to post them all but here’s some of my fav memories and fav people. love you all so much and thank you for everything. sorry i’m a lot sometimes xx”.
The caption went along with a photo carousel looking back at the year of Brat, with snapshots with friends and from the rollout of the album — and its companion release, Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat. Some highlights included pictures with her fiancé (The 1975’s George Daniel) and a behind-the-scenes cue card shot from her SNL hosting gig.
Brat arrived in June, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It also led the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart for 29 weeks.
Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat, a variation of the original album featuring collaborations with Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, The 1975, Lorde, Robyn, Troye Sivan, Bon Iver, Julian Casablancas, Caroline Polachek and more, followed in October.
