With her past romantic history likely still stirring feelings, Charli XCX attended the star-studded premiere of Hamnet at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles alongside other famous art enthusiasts, despite her potential reservations towards her ex-boyfriend's current partner, Taylor Swift. The 33-year-old pop superstar's presence was even more notable given the ongoing drama between herself and the Brutalist actor's ex-girlfriend.
The upcoming movie, which has already garnered acclaim from advance viewers and Oscar predictions from reputable outlets, is a testament to the directorial prowess of Chloe Zhao. Producer Steven Spielberg, known for his work on Jurassic Park, heaped on praises for Zhao's "special" movie that aims not just to be a box office hit or a source of pleasure for viewers, but rather to tell a life-changing story that needs to be heard.
After the screening, Joe Alwyn described the movie as "a beautiful story" about love, adding, "it's painful and it's sad and it's heart-breaking, but it's full of so much love and the power of love and the power of art and healing."
The Apples hitmaker was one of the special guests who graced the event, her presence adding an extra layer of intrigue to the occasion. Her ongoing feud with Swift has been a back-and-forth battle of subtle jabs since the two singers fell out after their performances together at Swift's Reputation tour and 1989 tour.
