Nicole Kidman and Charli XCX have supported each other in the industry for a long time. As per a report by People magazine, the Brat songstress has previously expressed admiration for several of Kidman's movies.
One of them includes the 1995 comedy-thriller called To Die For. In the film, protagonist Suzanne Stone is an struggling weather reporter who plans to kill her husband in order to become a famous news anchor.
The singer talked about To Die For during a June 2024 interview at New York City's Roxy Cinema. During the discourse, she shared her inspiration behind Brat album.
"All of these films in some way link to the world of BRAT. Whether it’s Suzanne Stone’s extreme desire for attention in To Die For or the story of rivalry and lust between musicians in The Velvet Goldmine... there are things in there that directly link to the energy of BRAT," she said.
Currently, Charli XCX is in the middle of her Brat Tour which started on November 27, 2024, in England's Manchester. It is slated to feature concerts in Brooklyn, Warsaw, Paris, London, Belfast, and other iconic cities before concluding on August 10, 2025, in Helsinki, Finland.
