Charli xcx and Troye Sivan’s Sweat tour review – a pop triumph


The duo hit the stage, along with some special guests, for a high-energy stadium party that was hard to resist

In a few months, Charli went from niche-famous pop star with a rabid cult following, underground bona fides and critical acclaim to CNN roundtable subject and viral hit-maker, with songs big enough to make it on the playlists of straight weddings outside New York and LA. So it was that at Madison Square Garden on Monday night (365 party girl, for real), the crowd for the co-headlining Sweat tour was a two-toned sea of “city sewer slut” black and brat green – the sickly, striking shade that took over the internet, was co-opted by a presidential campaign, and will likely go down as the color of 2024. Split near evenly between Sivan’s catalog and Charli’s brat-heavy rotation, Sweat’s interlocking chapters unevenly paired their respective styles (languid, sensual, warm; jagged, pulsing, ecstatic) as a sort of pop victory party.
