by Laneisha Jeans

It’s The #BRAT Grammys

The Grammys have come and gone, and social media has been in an uproar since. This year, there have been many artists who were recognized who have built strong community support via the internet or the TikTok app. One of those artists is Ms. Charli XCX with her #BRAT Summer Movement. Capturing the internet by storm in June of 2024, Charli XCX demonstrated her unforgettable stage presence at The 67th Grammy Awards.

‘BRAT at The Grammys: Charli XCX’s Unforgettable Performance’ will be remembered for years to come. Charli XCX shows us how to be a real #BRAT and what all that really means to her.

You’re Either #BRAT or You’re Not

The #BRAT Summer Movement was a movement that went viral on Tik Tok this past year. You remember seeing it. The “lime-neon green” aesthetic was everywhere. Phone cases, baby tees, trucker hats, billboards… It was like lime-neon green throw up wherever you looked. Charli and her team marketed the album so well, it was what anyone was associating with that “lime-neon green”.

And the girlies and gays were EATING IT UP. You were either “#BRAT” or you weren’t. Simple as that. This all happened just in time — prior to the album releasing, and for a while after is release.

Charli XCX redefined what it means to truly be a “#BRAT” in this generation. Embodying an updated version of the “tumblr indie sleaze” coupled with Y2K, you get Charli XCX.

The BRAT Empire is Growing


The TikTok edit demons have already gotten to work, editing videos and compilations of the best performances and interviews. Our TikTok comedians are doing their thing, imitating our favorite celebrities at the biggest music event of the year.

Bless we have it back just for moments like these.

My favorite trend I’ve seen on the internet post-Grammys is women catching their partners thoroughly enjoying Charli XCX after seeing her unforgettable performance.

Yeah I’m Bumpin’ That – A Grammy Type Beat

The Brat Summer movement was iconic and will never be forgotten. We’re glad Charli XCX had the opportunity to perform on such a legendary stage and win a few of Grammys for this album.

  1. Best Recording Package – “BRAT”
  2. Best Dance/Electronic Album – “BRAT”
  3. Best Dance Pop Recording – “Von Dutch”

BRAT was the soundtrack to so many origin stories and main character movies.

Speaking of movies, I hear she will be in one soon. Keep an eye out for, The Moment, scored by A.G. Cook.

Much deserved, Charli XCX. Congratulations on your wins.
