Hey @charli_xcx, your brazilian fans have been showing toxic behavior by screaming “Taylor is dead!” in your concerts and events related to you. Could you do something about it? We don’t belive that’s what music should be about. @taylornation13 please take notice in that too. pic.twitter.com/pPU6wWjeXl

Charli XCX responded to the post on her Instagram story in a matter of hours. She declared that she would not "tolerate" the behavior in question.
The 'Official' singer shared a screenshot of people allegedly chanting on her Instagram stories, along with the caption, "Can the people who do this please stop. Online or at my shows."
She further stated, "It is the opposite of what I want and it disturbs me that anyone would think there is room for this in this community. I will not tolerate it," per HuffPost.
Although Charli XCX was Swift's notable 2018 opening act, some fans have theorized that 'Sympathy is a knife,' one of the songs on 'Brat,' is about the 'Fortnight' singer.
Furthermore, Charli XCX outraged Swifties with remarks she made in a 2019 interview with Pitchfork following the tour.
"I’m really grateful that (Taylor) asked me on that tour. But as an artist, it kind of felt like I was getting up onstage and waving to 5-year-olds," Charli XCX said at the time.
The singer later made an effort to expand on her remarks and provide additional context in a follow-up tweet that she shared on Twitter.
