Charli XCX Discusses Touring Challenges and Pain

Charli XCX has opened up about the significant physical and emotional toll that touring has taken on her, particularly during her recent 'Sweat' tour with Troye Sivan.

Despite this strain, Charli credits Sivan and her tour team for making the experience more manageable, stating that their support helped ease her emotional battles.
