Charlie XCX unveils she's in the 'worst place mentally' she's ever been

Charlie XCX is getting more mindful about how much time she spends on social media, as she admitted she is going through the darkest phase of her life. In a recent sit-down with Rolling Stone, the Brat artist, who is all set for her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, opened up about her decision to step away from social networking sites for the sake of her mental health. "I have actually been a lot more offline," Charli began. "I don’t really look as much anymore. It’s just better for my brain." "The discourse is loud, and sometimes that can be very overwhelming," she remarked, referring to the social media chatter. "I know people probably won’t believe me, because I am inherently, at least in the past, a very online artist," she said. "But I recently have been really struggling with my mental health to the point where, if I’m being real, I’m in the worst place mentally that I’ve been in my life." "It got to a place where my anxiety was physically affecting me, and I can’t actually proceed in life like that," she said. Now, Charlie has an unconventional ways to interact with her fans. "Things have changed now," she confessed, sharing, "I’m interested in making things really intimate between me and my audience, and sitting down one-on-one with a person and having a conversation." Music, Fashion, Film is all set to release on July 24, 2026.
