It's the ultimate pop power couple bonding moment! Charli XCX has dished out the juicy deets about her 'fab' and 'inspiring' Parisian getaway with Queen of Pop Madonna. The British songstress had us all wondering if there was beef brewing between them after a certain line in her single 'Rock Music', but now it's clear they're singing from the same hymn sheet! Charli revealed on BBC 6 Music that their mini-break was sparked by a group text, which led to an impromptu jam session and dance party in the City of Love.
When asked about the line 'I think the dancefloor is dead, so now we're making rock music', Charli clarified it wasn't a dig at Madonna's iconic dance-pop legacy. In fact, she confessed that her new album isn't a full-on rock record as some had speculated. The lyrics were actually more about her personal connection to her previous work, 'Brat'. Meanwhile, the Queen of Pop had been accused of responding with sass on Instagram, but it seems Charli and Madonna are now on the same page, bonding over their shared passion for music.
It turns out they first met at a high-profile fashion event before letting loose in Paris, including a memorable appearance together at the Saint Laurent menswear show. They even got down to Madonna's classics like 'Thief of Hearts' and 'Hung Up' at an after-party! When asked what it was like hanging out with Madonna, Charli beamed: "She is so interested in really talking about the music that she makes, and how and why... I found it very inspiring to hang out with her." It seems they've formed a bond over their love of creativity and experimentation.
As both artists gear up for new album releases - Charli's 'Music, Fashion, Film' drops on July 24 and Madonna's 'Confessions II' hits shelves on July 3 - it's clear that the summer is going to be a sizzling hot one for pop fans! And who knows? Maybe we'll even see some joint performances from these two musical legends in the near future!
