Pop sensation Charli XCX, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, spiced up her recent Saturday Night Live monologue by referencing the much-discussed spat between lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart and New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser. This playful nod came after the feud resurfaced following the release of Stewart’s Netflix documentary, Martha.
During her monologue, Charli embraced her self-proclaimed “brat energy” while explaining what it means to embody such an attitude. She began by saying, “Brat Summer has been wild. People keep asking me, ‘What is brat?’ Honestly, it’s just an attitude—it’s a vibe.”
The singer then elaborated by tying the term to a recent moment from Stewart’s documentary, where Stewart expressed disdain for a journalist who had once written a negative article about her, saying she was glad the journalist had passed away. The twist? Charli humorously recounted that the journalist in question, Andrea Peyser, later responded, declaring she was very much alive.
Charli quipped, “Martha’s comment? Brat energy. And then Peyser clapping back with, ‘Hey, I’m alive, bitch!’ That is extremely brat energy.”
With her monologue, Charli XCX added a playful, cheeky perspective to a headline-grabbing story, showcasing her knack for blending humor, cultural commentary, and her bold personality in true “brat energy” style. Fans of both Charli and the pop culture moment couldn’t help but chuckle at her clever delivery.
