“Can the people who do this please stop? Online or at my shows,” Charli wrote on her Instagram story. “It’s the opposite of what I want and it bothers me that anyone thinks there’s a place for it in this community. I will not tolerate it.”

Charli had previously made it clear that she was “extremely grateful” that Swift had invited her to open for the 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour.

“She is one of the biggest artists of my generation and the Reputation Tour was one of the biggest tours in history,” she wrote on Twitter in 2019 after fans misinterpreted a quote Charli told Pitchfork about how the experience felt “like walking on stage and waving at 5-year-olds.”
