Charli XCX ignited debate at a Coachella afterparty on Saturday night by donning a striking 'Miss Should Be Headliner' sash, shortly after her dynamic performance at the festival. The 32-year-old artist, who took the stage at 7:15 p.m. to showcase songs from her forthcoming album Brat, maintained the energy behind the DJ booth. However, her playful accessory sparked mixed reactions among fans, with some suggesting that she was being overly ambitious.

Charli XCX wears ‘Miss Should Be Headliner’ sash

When Charli took to the stage at Coachella for her performance, the event was headlined by Green Day, a band that has received 96 awards and has been nominated for 218. It appeared that Charli was not entirely pleased with the choice of headliner, as evidenced by her pose in a white dress adorned with a ‘Miss Should Be Headliner’ sash and her tongue sticking out. This image sparked a variety of reactions from social media users.

Although Charli has experienced a resurgence in popularity, particularly following the release of her Brat album in 2024, her achievements still fall short compared to the established rock icons Green Day in terms of overall chart success. She has garnered 172 nominations and won 47 awards, recently celebrating her first UK No.1 in over ten years with the single "Guess." Nevertheless, Green Day's impressive history includes five UK No.1 albums, ten Top 10 hits, and nearly 500 weeks on the Top 75, as detailed by the Official Charts website and reported by the Daily Mail.

Charli XCX met with backlash over her headliner sash

Charli encountered significant criticism regarding her sash, with one user commenting, “To the general public, she doesn’t surpass Green Day.” Another user remarked, “A two-hit wonder does not deserve to headline.” A third user added, “Please, as if she is on the same level as Green Day, and I’m not even a huge fan of Green Day.”

Additionally, one user stated, “Some pop stars are reaching for the stars, while others are merely posing for the camera,” while another user expressed, “I don’t believe she was directly criticizing Green Day, but let’s be honest, Charli isn’t quite headliner material (yet) regardless.”
