Watch Charli XCX Join Air for ‘Cherry Blossom Girl' at Paris Fest
Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of Brat, but Charli XCX instead spent the day reflecting on a 2004 album as she joined French electronic duo Air for a performance of their 'Cherry Blossom Girl' at Paris' We Love Green festival. Charli XCX served as headliner at the Paris fest, but before her performance, she popped up during Air's set to perform the Talkie Walkie track, with Air turning their video screens the color of Brat green in honor of the singer. More from Rolling Stone Charli XCX Thinks Her Next Album Could 'Be a Flop.' She's OK With That The Pop Queens Are the New Rock Gods See Charli XCX Light Herself on Fire (Sort of) in 'Party 4 U' Video 'Dreams come true <3,' Charli wrote on social media after the cameo. The singer will next headline Porto, Portugal's Primavera Sound festival on June 12, the latest stop on a European tour that includes festivals like Denmark's Roskilde, Norway's Oya and Sweden's Way Out West. Charli XCX, who also recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of her How I'm Doing Now, spoke about the much-anticipated follow-up to Brat. 'I don't really feel the pressure to create another record like Brat,' she said during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival. 'When I was making [Brat], even though I really believed in it and totally knew what I wanted to do with it, I had no idea how it would be received,' she continued. ' … So yeah, I don't really feel the pressure because I feel that you can never really do the same thing twice, and my next record will probably be a flop, which I'm down for to be honest.'

From Missing Money To "Allergies" — People Whose Partners Cheated On Them Are Sharing The Little "Red Flags" That Signaled Their Infidelity
Most of us know the major signs to look for when determining whether or not a partner is cheating. However, when a person finally discovers their significant other has been unfaithful, they suddenly remember the small "red flags" they overlooked in the name of love... That's why when Redditor u/ExerciseShort5622 asked, "What's the biggest 'they're definitely cheating' sign you ignored?" people who discovered their exes had an affair flooded the comments with the seemingly small things they wished they had noticed sooner. From friendly neighbors to bizarre accusations — here are 19 little-known "red flags" that might indicate infidelity: If you've ever overlooked a warning sign that a partner was cheating, you can tell us anonymously using this form. 1."Our neighbor had kids, both under five years old. We never did anything with their kids, so we didn't really know them. One day, out of nowhere, these two kids ran across the street and up our driveway to hug my partner while calling his name. Kids don't do this with strangers. He was cheating with the neighbor and had clearly been spending a ton of time over there with her and befriending the kids." —u/Lazy-Elephant-7477 "A similar thing happened to me. Our kids were in elementary school and attended an after-school club. At the end of the year, a church in town hosted an ice cream party for all the kids. While we were there, a little girl walked up to my husband, said, 'Hi,' and called him by name. The whole time, she gave me the side-eye and a confused look of 'Who are you?' He tried so hard to lie to me about whose kid this was, but we both know the same people, and I knew she wasn't one of their kids." —u/kelrose 2."My snacks kept disappearing even though my partner and I didn't eat the same ones!" "I'm a chocolate lover, and I knew something was up when my M&M's tub kept slowly declining. He hated chocolate, so someone had to be eating out of my candy jar! I set up a small camera, facing the pantry, and caught it in 4K. The divorce papers were served to him at work, and I've never looked back!" —u/wenchywitchy 3."He said goodbye to his 'mother' and called her sweetie. When I asked if he usually called his mother 'sweetie,' he said he did. I later found out it was his ex. I didn't know about her, and she didn't know about me. She kicked him to the curb." "I found out six months later that he was actually leading a double life. Thankfully, I never heard from him again, and neither did his ex." —u/KathAlMyPal 4."He kept taking money out of the bank, yet he never had money for simple things like his commute. I suggested we start tracking our spending together and turn it into a game, and he balked. No wonder! I was so naive." —u/AquaWoman_115 "My sister discovered this was how her ex-husband funded dates with his affair partners: He would get cash back at the register every time he went to the grocery store, and because he always ran those errands, she never caught on. She said she saved thousands of dollars after the divorce because she didn't realize how much he had been embezzling from their joint account until after the fact." —u/Fun_Importance_4250 5."She kept sending me out on little errands, constantly saying, 'I need a new toothbrush, can you go pick one up for me?' or 'I'm hungry, can you go get a snack?' Stuff like that." "She was just sending me out so she and my roommate could have sex while I was gone." —u/ERedfieldh Related: People In HR Revealed Truly Unhinged Reasons Employees Got Fired, And My Jaw Is On The Floor 6."They constantly asked me where I was and accused me of cheating. I worked 12+ hour shifts at a remote oil plant. When did I have time to get some on the side? I had to strategically plan going to the grocery store." —u/eugeneugene 7."He became mean, but only towards me..." "I thought he was working too hard, so I bent over backwards to make his life easier. I suffered for a bit, then called him out on it, and said, 'The way you are acting toward me is not in character for you, and I want to know what's going on.' He broke down and spilled his guts, grateful to finally not be living a lie, and transferred all that pain onto me. He'd been cheating for at least eight months with random people he found online. He eventually met someone he 'loved' and was already making plans for a future without me." —u/GentleComposure 8."She developed a 'metal allergy' and stopped wearing her wedding ring at work due to 'irritation.'" "I didn't catch on and believed her until the first part of our divorce. Then, when the paralegal we went to asked if there was any chance my partner was pregnant, she got a deer-in-the-headlights look before she finally said, 'No.' We had not been intimate for six months. The paralegal met my eyes, and he and I both knew. The look of sympathy in his eyes nearly broke me." —u/KharnforPresident 9."He constantly said things like 'I don't deserve you.' When I met his grandparents, his grandmother grabbed me by the hands and said, 'What is a beautiful girl like you doing with someone like him?'" "At the time, I took it as a joke, but in hindsight, it was honestly eerie. Why would a grandmother even jokingly say such a thing?" —u/Open_Hope4242 Related: 50 People Who Woke Up One Morning Over The Past Month And Accidentally Destroyed Their Entire Lives 10."When I came home after a long deployment, she had 'redecorated' the apartment (aka erasing any trace I lived there), even though she had technically moved into MY apartment." "She said she wanted it to feel like her space, too. But she literally took framed pictures of me/us down and put them in a back room. We went to Hawaii, and when we got back, that's when it was over. I saw a guy driving her around in her car about a week later and put two and two together." —u/FlameandCrimson 11."When she changed her phone password every week and said it was for 'security reasons.' Girl, who's trying to hack you? The FBI? Or just your conscience?" —u/Primary-Sir7427 "'Security' was one of the excuses I was given for my ex constantly changing passwords on personal devices that were NOT used for work. Other bizarre excuses that eventually tipped me off were blaming the 'battery life' for why he always hit the screensaver on his laptop when I walked in the door, and 'no signal' when he couldn't be reached in places where there most definitely was a signal. Excuses that would never fly with anyone other than a trusting partner or a small child are a big red flag." —u/OtherKat 12."He sat me down for a serious conversation and told me he had heard a 'nasty rumor' going around that he was cheating on me with a close female friend and that I was cheating on him with a close male friend." "He said he trusted me and knew I would never do something like that, and that he thought it was important for us to trust each other. Come to find out, he actually was cheating with his 'close female friend,' but no one ever thought I was cheating with my male friend." —u/ohboyitsnat 13."His moods didn't match what was happening. I was always confused by how suddenly impatient he would become, or how he'd start nagging me, even if things were going well. Sometimes his mood simply didn't align with how he typically responded, or how someone else would normally respond in a similar situation..." "He always told me I was losing my mind because I was so 'confused' or he'd just claim I was looking for problems. I wish I had trusted what I was clearly noticing." —u/Wise-Young-3954 14."I found a hairpin in his bedroom. I've never used hairpins, and he didn't have hair. I asked about it, and he said he used it to clean his ears. I knew the next sensible question was, 'Where did you get ONE hairpin, that incidentally smells like hairspray?'" "But I chickened out, pretended it was all good, and was genuinely surprised when he ended things without reason a few months later." —u/Madam_Hel 15."When 'I want an open marriage' turned into them leaving me for their affair partner six weeks later." —u/Far_Bet_5516 "This also happened to a friend of mine; his wife wanted an open marriage. He's sexually adventurous, so he was into it. He had a few dates with other women before she served him papers. She was already with another guy two weeks after it was finalized. Thankfully, his new wife is a much better person, and I think they'll stay together." —u/uberfission 16."It was at the beginning of the pandemic: He was from Newfoundland (we were in New Brunswick at the time) and when everything started locking down, he got antsy and pissed off and kept saying, 'They won't let us go anywhere.' Mind you, he didn't even have a license, let alone a car, so finally I asked, 'Where would you even want to go?' He got quiet and said, 'Well…I guess nowhere.'" "Flash forward a couple of weeks, and he broke up with me over social media before flying back to Newfoundland to get engaged to the girl he was cheating on me with." —u/Own-Assignment3532 17."I knew something was wrong when several of my now-ex's good friends started hitting on me. I later realized they knew she was cheating and were prematurely shooting their shot with me." "After I finally left and filed for divorce, a mutual friend told me my ex had an agreement with her affair partner that they would both get divorced and live happily ever after. She and I had been divorced for three years when he finally left his ex-wife and her for another woman." —u/PetroInvest3 18."Came home and the toilet seat was up. There was a 0.00% chance she put it up." —u/Sanity-Checker 19."She had told both me and her affair partner that she was house-sitting for a 'friend.' Turns out, I had been driving her to his apartment and vice versa." "She was staying at our places while both of us were ignorant about the other. He would catch missed texts on her phone from me, and she would ignore my calls sometimes. The wild part is that he married her after confronting me online because he thought I was luring her away. However, we figured out she was cheating on us both. I couldn't believe he stuck around, but I was just glad I found out before we moved to another state." —u/slashdash_85 Did any of these "red flags" surprise you?
