Charli XCX, Lorde, Billie Eilish & Troye Sivan Spark Chaos In New Video

Pop Base recently released a new video featuring Charli XCX, Lorde, Billie Eilish, and Troye Sivan, and it is driving netizens mad. The clip, such as just a day old, now has people fighting, stanning, and throwing wild accusations around as events unfolded in a pride parade.

The video is a total vibe: Charli like a hurricane, Lorde queen of mystery, Billie deadpan coolness, and Troye just existing (but I swear one person said he looks ’45’). It’s this clash of the most unpredictable forces in pop culture, and, as expected, Twitter had its say on it.

Some were here for it. ‘OMG love their energy,’ said KHIZRA, and another said Charli was ‘such a vibe.’ But then… it got messy. Really messy.

Comes the slam-dunk case of haters. One straight-up called them ‘a bunch of losers and khias’ (whatever that means), while some said they were ‘a group of people sharing STDs.’ Harsh? Yeah. But chill isn’t what Twitter does.

Then there was the whole Ariana Grande deal. ‘I think Ariana Grande should have been there,’ one user cried out, sending Twitter into its own mini-debate on who really is in with pop’s top crew. While someone else forgot Lorde existed, which, whoa, touching much?

But real drama? The stan wars. KylieInHerReputationEra (yes, what a name) added fuel to the fire with a post about Billie’s whisper album, to which another user shot back, ‘Bro has not listened to Billie’s album.’ A third told Kylie to ‘jump off a cliff.’ Yikes.

Then there was the random exchange in Spanish that was lost in translation. One user replied with ‘existir’ (which just means ‘to exist’), and the other fired back with ‘que te ha hecho’ (‘what did he do to you’). No context, just vibes.

And let’s not forget the ageism. It indicates how one pop stan will use any weapon against another in a spat when someone said, ‘You dragged a girl that’s 30 years younger than the one you stan.’

The most outlandish one, ‘Troye looking 45.’ Listen, Troye Sivan is 28. That’s just maths. But if looking like a tired dad at a PTA meeting is a crime, then lock him up.

Obviously, what the video achieved were ‘good pop moment’: It divided the internet, allowed people to scream into the void, and reiterated that Lorde is still alive. There is indifference, which is the only term one cannot throw at either end of love or hate. And really, that’s how you know it works.
