Charli XCX is addressing her haters after her recent Glastonbury performance.

The singer, 32, has been under scrutiny with suspicions that she was miming or using autotune when she performed at the 2025 Glastonbury.

Charli clapped back on X, saying the comments were giving "boomer vibes."

"Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a 'real artist' is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx," the singer began.

Charli continued to diss the haters by finding the silverlining in the criticism.

"But to be honest… I enjoy the discourse. imo the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable."

She added, "Really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on my Glastonbury performance. It's super fascinating to me," before thanking those who gave her five star reviews.

Charli's response comes after her Saturday performance was branded "truly terrible" and the "worst headline act" at the festival.

One critic wrote, "Can’t be just me? Charlie xcx is truly truly terrible? This is not actual music is it? Who is listening to this on a playlist seriously it’s torture sounds. Gotta be one of the worst headline acts ever at Glastonbury."

Another pointed, "This Charlie xcx thing is the worst headline act in Glastonbury history. There may be headliners that you don't like. But at least they try and fkn sing. Her fee should be withheld, as tbh, you could have put a stripper on stage with a Spotify speaker and got the same results"

Meanwhile, a third user also echoed similar sentiments, saying, "This Glastonbury set by Charli XCX is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in my life. Barely singing, autotune in the rare moments she does sing a bit and horrendous dancing. Be fuming if you spent ages getting into that crowd only to see that."
