Charli XCX Wraps Up Viral Brat Summer Trend After Countless Memes: ‘Goodbye Forever’

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for trends and a heart for music, I must say that the Brat Summer phenomenon, spearheaded by Charli XCX, has been nothing short of exhilarating. It’s not every day that a social media trend turns into a cultural movement, let alone one that garners such wide-ranging participation from celebrities and everyday people alike.


It’s official! Charli XCX has packed up brat summer after countless memes and TikTok dances. The brat mother took to Instagram to announce the culmination of her viral social media trend spawned from her latest studio album titled Brat.

As an over-the-moon fan, I’ve been pouring my heart out on social media, marking the end of an era – the unforgettable Brat Summer. On Monday, I bid a teary farewell, knowing it’s goodbye for now. I shared a collection of videos showcasing Apple’s album tracks on Instagram in a carousel format, one of which featured none other than Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West grooving to Apple’s tunes.

The Guess hitmaker also posted on X, “Goodbye forever brat summer.”

The phrase “Brat Summer” gained traction on social media in June, coinciding with the release of Charli’s sixth album titled “Brat.” Known for its eye-catching fluorescent lime green cover, it quickly became a cultural phenomenon. TikTok amplified its popularity as users shared dances related to the album and Charli discussed the concept of “brat” as a carefree, uninhibited party girl who doesn’t shy away from expressing herself, even during difficult times.

Charli described you as follows: “You’ve got a carefree spirit, enjoy socializing and can sometimes make thoughtless remarks. You have your moments of vulnerability where you might struggle, but you also know how to let loose and have fun, even in tough times. You’re honest and straightforward, yet there’s an unpredictable edge to you – you can do things impulsively. In essence, you’re quite the free spirit, and that makes you a bit of a rebel.”

On social media platforms, fans remain optimistic about an upcoming season filled with Brat’s remixes of her newest songs.

A variety of famous personalities such as Jennifer Lopez, Gwenyth Paltrow, Troye Sivan, Julia Fox, Addison Rae, Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Kerry Washington, Ashley Tisdale, Stephen Colbert, Joe Jonas, and numerous others hopped onto the Brat Summer trend by sharing brat dances, aesthetics, or tracks on their individual social media platforms.

One notable occurrence was President Joe Biden’s announcement that he wouldn’t seek re-election in 2024, sparking even more curiosity about future elections. Meanwhile, musician Charli XCX expressed her admiration for Vice President Kamala Harris, affectionately calling her ‘brat’. This statement garnered over 55 million views and ignited a wave of TikTok videos, social media posts, and news discussions. The Harris campaign seized this momentum, incorporating the ‘Brat’ attitude into their social media strategy, reflecting the album’s viral influence and style.

Brat Summer even involved former President Barack Obama, who saw it best to round off the summer musical season by adding Charli XCX’s hit song 365 from Brat album in August in his summer playlist.
