When Charli XCX, the 31-year-old pop sensation, called Vice President Kamala Harris a “brat,” it left many people scratching their heads.

This playful label came in the wake of Charli’s latest album, also titled *Brat*, which has become a hot topic on social media.

The album, released in June, has inspired a summer trend where people are embracing their inner ‘brats.’

The term ‘brat’ caught the attention of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, 51, and CNN’s Jake Tapper, 55.

Both anchors admitted they were puzzled by the Gen-Z term.

On her show, Rachel confessed she wasn’t entirely sure what ‘brat’ meant, while Jake revealed he learned about the term from his teenage daughter.

Despite their efforts to catch up with the trend, their attempts to explain it fell flat, leading to some cringeworthy moments on air.

Kamala Harris Embraces the Label

The confusion didn’t faze Kamala Harris, 59, who quickly embraced the ‘brat’ label.

After Charli’s tweet went viral, Harris incorporated the reference into her campaign by updating her social media profile with the album’s vibrant lime green cover.

This move seemed to endear her to Charli’s fanbase, who began creating and sharing content celebrating their ‘brat summer.’

Charli XCX’s Definition of ‘Brat’

Charli XCX herself explained the term in an interview, describing a ‘brat’ as someone who is a bit messy, loves to party, and is unapologetically herself.

She paints a picture of someone who might have a breakdown but still manages to have fun and stay honest.

The term, according to Charli, embodies a certain rebellious spirit and carefree attitude.

Pop Culture Embraces the ‘Brat’ Trend

The ‘brat summer’ trend has caught on with various celebrities and businesses.

Bars and coffee shops have started promoting lime green drinks inspired by the album, while stars like Stephen Colbert, Glen Powell, and Ashley Tisdale have joined in on the fun.

Ashley, for instance, shared a video of herself dancing to Charli’s song while joking about being pregnant but still having a ‘brat summer.’

As the trend continues, Charli XCX’s influence is clear, with fans and celebrities alike embracing the vibrant, carefree spirit of being a ‘brat.’
