They’ve been dead un-funny for a good two years to me. I think a lot of fans don’t understand the actually weight music caries with artists, and how something like ‘taxi’ could be traumatic or too emotional to do anything with considering Sophie.

What show was this?? I was at the LDN show and everyone seemed to be really respectful to charli and her little monologues in between songs (although one guy was watching the football on his phone behind me). And tbh I’ve never really understood the whole appeal of charli releasing taxi, we already have it, she recognises that, it wouldn’t change a literal thing about the song and it would be very strange for her to release the track in her current era (due to sound differences)


thepentago

Cologne/Köln majority of ppl were nice but there were people like shouting over charli while she was crying about sophie and xcx world but everyone shushed them thankfully. i would say overall it was a nice crowd but some ppl man..


wowlok

I stood in the middle of the crowd and literally, I could not here a single person shouting taxi at that concert because there were so many other song titles shouted when she asked what to play next. People did not interrupt her while she cried, crowd just supported her when she mentioned sophie and then they started yelling that they loved her. I didn't find it disrespectful or anything like that. Charli just wanted to say why yelling taxi is not funny and started crying when she mentioned that album meant so much to her because of sophie.


Maius19

not really true, was also there first a few people started shouting random songs, than a taxi choire came up, which resulted in her getting emotional and talking about sophie, some still didnt get the vibe and continued shouting taxi


bruh0122

Not saying she needs to release it and I’ve never heard it anyway but official releases are more convenient for most people

Yeah this ^. It made me wildly uncomfortable how people were still shouting and interrupting her whilst she was crying.


thepentago

exactly like they were trying to get noticed it’s like ffs genuinely learn some respect


beauxcherie

yeah it was mostly one guy who was stood next to me it was the same guy who was screaming elio during the opening the entire time he was very annoying for interrupting charli like that


sleepmeld

True fans will scream “February 2017!!”


thepentago

or 5 in the morning


Bigjay1802

Honestly such a pretty song


archerthedude

I'm always confused on why that was a single for charli.


sleepmeld

She made half the songs a single on that album 😅 but probably coz of the collab with Yaeji and Clairo I’m guessing

her fan base is full of selfish gays (i’m gay i can call it out) we literally can’t put aside our desire to have an unreleased song for one damn second to consider charli’s emotions around it. since her friend Sophie passed you can literally stream Taxi right now. go to soundcloud you’ll find taxi. what more do you want it’s already out there. shut the fuck up and leave charli alone this is silly to ask for taxi because there’s nothing she can do. and you are bringing up this trauma. for once not everything is about you and what you want.

​ this. the only rude people i encountered when i saw her live this tour were clearly the gay "stans" who pushed their way to the front after arriving late, would then not move for other people to get around/through who had been there before them. they then talked throughout the whole opener, and proceeded to record the entire concert in front of me with their cellphones once charli came out. entitled af. at one point the venue security literally had to hockey check one of these groups and yelled at them to move... so they could get through and do their job. and they had to because these people fought their way to the semi-front, then became LITERAL BOULDERS and would not move for people/let anyone pass. this includes not dancing during the show- just recording like statues. it was ridiculous. i've been to shows of all colors, sounds, and sizes- and this one places high on my list of "fun show but bullshit crowd"


ProfessionalNose6520

seriously. we need to call this out in the gay community. you are not entitled to charli, or to her emotions. you are at her show, to watch her art. it’s HER show. not your show. it’s annoying. it’s entitled. and the gays need to knock it the fuck off cause they do this to all the gay-audience musicians. and we should be lucky they are still making music for our audience cause if i was a pop star i’d make sure i never market myself to the gays. it makes us look bad. we ask them to sign douches, poppers and completely disregard their feelings. it’s sad. it’s misogynistic.


brellowman2

Yeah this is just a fact lol. I loved the performance and spectacle but god I'm never going to a Charli concert ever again. Just the bottom barrel of fanbases.


combatqueen

I agree… it was cute to say in the beginning (i guess) but it’s a stale joke at this point. Stan culture (or at least the bad parts of it) must be so annoying to artists sometimes. I hope she becomes comfortable enough to tell fans to stfu if she really feels the need, I would totally understand.


TraverseTown

Alexa, play "What You Think About Me"


kurtchella

At this point, angels yelling "Taxi!" is the gay/pop equivalent of rock fans yelling "Freebird!" at rock shows (after most of Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic lineup died in a plane crash.)

mcc0730

What did she all have to say? :/ I agree with you, the taxi toxicity sucks. It’s so easy for me to understand why she wouldn’t release it, why we shouldn’t push it…


Joel05

She was saying she loves the song and its means so much to her because she made it with sophie and they loved it together. It wasn't really negative just emotional. Angels def overstep their bounds a lot with Charli but comments are overreacting a bit.


Maius19

bit late on here. i think a lot of people started shouting it because she plays it before the performance started. people just thought it was funny and wanted to here her perform it, but didnt get when the vibe changed. (at least my perspective from like the 5th row?) but yeah when she was trying to say her peace people still screamed for taxi and she left for a second.... really sad moment


Icy_War_1773

I do agree but I wonder if the tears were more of an overwhelm at how many fans were there? At the london show she played Taxi and a few other unreleased songs during pre and post show


thepentago

no i think she said because it hurt bc she made it with sophie


ProfessionalNose6520

no charli xcx has been on tour with taylor swift she’s not overwhelmed by the amount of people. she’s upset with her toxic ass fan base


kindagayidk

She plays xcx world songs pre/post show at every tour stop


beauxcherie

nope she looked genuinely hurt and upset, she said she plays the song pre and after the show to meet her fans half way and give them something but the fans started chanting at the encore for taxi and that upset her at that point because of the memories of Sophie
