At the time, Charli expressed conflicting feelings toward performing at those shows, due to the fact that she was used to playing 18+ clubs. Still, she considered the experience as an extremely valuable moment in her career. 

“I’m really grateful that [Taylor] asked me on that tour,” she told Pitchfork in 2019. “But as an artist, it kind of felt like I was getting up on stage and waving to 5-year-olds.”

The “Apple” singer later clarified again that she harbors no bad feelings toward Taylor.

“It’s always wonderful to watch other artists do their thing, own their stage, and speak their language to their dedicated fanbases—and this was especially true for the Reputation tour,” Charli wrote on X, formerly Twitter, at the time. “I want to clarify that there is absolutely no shade and only love here!”
