Charli XCX Calls Out Critics: Autotune Ain’t Just for the Birds!

Charli XCX has stirred up some serious chatter after her performance at Glastonbury, particularly with her use of autotune. The pop star attracted a massive crowd on the Other Stage—but not without inviting a flurry of “boomer comments” about her artistry. Instead of slinking away in shame, Charli decided to double down and fight back, calling out her critics on X (formerly Twitter) for having such “boring” takes. Honestly, can you blame her for being over it?

She cheekily argued that music should evolve and be confrontational, adding enthusiasm to an otherwise dull narrative. And let’s be honest—who wants to see an artist going through the motions on stage? In fact, Charli even accompanied her responses with a five-star review from The Guardian. So, if the critics think they’ve got her numbered, they might just be missing the boat entirely.

As the night got groovier, fans enjoyed additional viral moments from her set, including the “Apple” dance showcased by Gracie Abrams. Who knew criticism could lead to viral dances and epic performances? So here’s a thought to chew on: What do you think? Is autotune an essential tool for modern artists or a crutch? Jump into the comments and fight it out!
