Charli XCX Opens Up About Getting Advice From Ariana Grande & Bonding Over ‘Sympathy Is a Knife’


Charli XCX said Ariana Grande gave her advice about acting and 'Saturday Night Live,' and their bonding on "Sympathy Is a Knife." See what she said.

The “Yes, And?” artist also apparently encouraged Charli’s acting ambitions, which, in the near future, will include parts in Benito Skinner’s Overcompensating series, Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex film, Daniel Goldhaber’s Faces of Death remake and Julia Jackman’s 100 Nights of Hero graphic-novel adaptation. Grande, who hosted Saturday Night Live in September, also showed the “Apple” artist the ropes before the latter helmed a November episode of the comedy series. On the track, both women delve into their least favorite aspects of fame and the music industry, singing, “It’s a knife when you’re finally on top/ ‘Cause logically the next step is they wanna see you fall to the bottom.”
