Charli XCX rang in her 34th birthday on 2 August with a star-studded bash in Chicago, where she had headlined Lollapalooza two days earlier. The singer arrived in a slouchy black-and-white striped micro-dress, fishnet tights, and dark eyeshadow, sharing moments from the night on Instagram.
Party Highlights and Famous Guests
Among the guests was Olivia Rodrigo, who also performed at the festival. The two posed together, a notable moment given past rumors of feuds with Taylor Swift. Charli's husband, 1975 drummer George Daniel, was also present, along with influencer Mekaila Morris, who works with artists like Lady Gaga and Selena Gomez.
Charli posted a video dancing to Far East Movement's "Like A G6," captioned: "Happy birthday to moi!!!! all i wanna do for the rest of my life is follow my dreamsssssssss <3333" She also danced to Rihanna's "Birthday Cake Remix," with friends singing along.
Context and Recent History
The party followed speculation of a feud between Charli and Taylor Swift, with Charli's track "Sympathy Is A Knife" interpreted as a diss. Olivia Rodrigo also addressed past tension with Swift on the Popcast podcast, saying: "It was so long ago — there’s no use in harping on it. I just try to make songs that I love and try to be kind and good to other people, and supportive of other people."
Charli and George Daniel were first seen together at the 2019 GQ Awards, confirmed their relationship in 2022, and married in July 2025 in Hackney, with a second ceremony in Sicily that September.
