6 Best Moments From Charli XCX & Troye Sivan’s L.A. Show: Kesha & Tate McRae’s Surprise Performances, More


This Charli XCX and Troye Sivan Sweat tour's best moments at the Kia Forum on Oct. 15 includes appearances from Kesha and Tate McRae. Read the recap.

Charli XCX and Troye Sivan played the first of two sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on Tuesday night (Oct. 15), effectively turning the 17,500-capacity venue into a revved-up, sex-positive dance party that more than lived up to the tour’s Sweat moniker. Like the first crack of a beer at 9 p.m., Troye eased fans into the concert with a smooth, energetic show-opening trio of songs that included “Got Me Started,” “What’s the Time Where You Are?” and “My My My!” But the moment Charli arrived on stage could be compared to downing your first shot. Though Charli’s night was certainly Brat-heavy, one of the most memorable moments on Tuesday came during her encore rendition of Pop 2 ’s “Track 10.” While playing to the camera, her dancing reached an almost primal level as she flailed, thrashed and writhed in a kind of unhinged performance art that perhaps best encapsulated the Sweat tour’s ecstatic message: Leave your inhibitions at the door.
