Charli XCX and The 1975's George Daniel are married

From brat to bride summer: Charli XCX and George Daniel have tied the knot! The "360" hitmaker and The 1975 drummer have married after three years of dating. She confirmed the news in a TikTok clip posted Saturday, July 19, in which she is seen walking into a room wearing a white, off-the-shoulder gown with a high-low hem, a veil, sunglasses and white sling-back pumps. "When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle," the text over the screen read. The Grammy winner added in the caption, "luckily he did xx." Another TikTok clip showed the singer and her loved ones celebrating, with a caption that read, "bridal party energy!" USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Charli XCX for comment. 'For life': Charli XCX, The 1975 drummer George Daniel announce engagement In November 2023, the now 32-year-old "Boom Clap" singer revealed that Daniel proposed in now-deleted photos on her public Instagram. At the time, Daniel's representative confirmed the engagement to USA TODAY. Charli XCX (real name: Charlotte Emma Aitchison) shared a photo of her now-fiancé dipping her while kissing, an engagement ring between two cups of coffee and another of herself seated on Daniel's lap. "charli xcx and george daniel for life!!!" she captioned the post. The engagement news came a day after the singer shared a picture of her flashing a ring on her private Instagram. The couple − who went Instagram official in May 2022 − have since made numerous red-carpet appearances together. The wedding comes after a breakout 2024 for the pop superstar, who toiled in the music industry since her teens before she broke through with her album "Brat," released last June. She received seven Grammy nominations at the 2025 Grammy Awards in February, including major nods for album of the year and record of the year and three wins.

As The Lifetimes Tour stopped in San Francisco, Katy Perry had a scary moment mid-air above the audience at Chase Center. The 12x Grammy nominee was riding around the venue on a huge mechanical butterfly during Friday's show when the rig it was hanging from malfunctioned and jerked to one direction, likely giving the 143 artist some whiplash.

Videos show Katy Perry's mid-air prop malfunction at San Francisco concert

Katy Perry was clinging to a butterfly prop during her Lifetimes Tour concert on July 18 in San Francisco. In multiple fan videos, Perry nearly falls above the audience at the Chase Center as the prop malfunctions while she is in the air. While singing her 2013 hit song "Roar," the 13-time Grammy nominee was riding on the prop when it titled and dropped, seemingly causing her to lose her balance. USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Perry for comment. In the clip, Perry looks back up at the prop's wires and down at the audience before continuing to sing "Roar," crooning "and you're gonna hear me roar, louder than a lion." Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry breakup: Couple to focus on co-parenting daughter Daisy With her signature humor, the "Last Friday Night" hitmaker Perry jokingly took to her Instagram Stories with a blurred, zoomed in picture of her reaction to the viral moment, captioning the post "Good Night San Fran." High-flying, mid-air performances were popularized by Perry's fellow popstar Pink. The Perry malfunction comes weeks after a Beyoncé concert June 28 when the Cowboy Carter creator sang her hit single "16 Carriages" while soaring in a red car when a technical glitch caused the vehicle to tilt midair. She briefly paused the show telling everyone to "stop" repeatedly, before being safely lowered and landing the car among the audience. There were no injuries. Shortly after, Beyoncé returned to the stage cool, calm and collected. She joked, "if I ever fall, I know y'all will catch me," before carrying on with the show. It's been a busy, rollercoaster year for the "California Girls" singer. Perry recently wrapped a four-show stint in Adelaide, Australia, which capped nearly four weeks of performing in the island country, as she ended her concert emotionally following a highly publicized split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom. "Thank you for always being there for me, Australia; it means the world," a teary-eyed Perry told the crowd as her 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove's vocals on her "143" album-closing track "Wonder" rang out in the arena. She shook off the emotion and said, "Now let's sing 'Firework!'" The A-list actor and Perry confirmed their split in a July 3 statement to USA TODAY via their representatives.
