Charli XCX and Troye Sivan Bring the Party (and Star-Studded Afterparty) to Sweat Tour in Los Angeles: Concert Review
Charli XCX and Troye Sivan reached the peak of their pop prowess during the Los Angeles stop on their co-headlining Sweat tour.
At the heart her performances are raw, unencumbered manifestations of her songs — the zoom of fast cars, the nervous sweat of the party, the assured confidence of controlling the aux — that have recently transformed her from a pop singer who creates on her own terms to a star that inhabits the near-impossible qualities it demands. For Charli, that would be “Brat” — not necessarily the remix album that arrived last week, though she did bring out Kesha for the freshly unwrapped version of “Spring Breakers” and a run-through of her signature hit “Tik Tok.” Her performance was bare and pointed. Pop star lore would have you anticipate full-on choreography, and Sivan delivered, revisiting the linked arms, swinging kicks and lascivious lap dance of his “Rush” and “One of Your Girls” music videos.
