The Year of Charli

Prior to the engagement news, Charli XCX has been experiencing a monumental year in her own music career. Her hit song “Speed Drive” was featured in Greta Gerwig’s acclaimed “Barbie”, and the singer collaborated with a number of the biggest acts in pop, most recently Sam Smith. XCX first hit the mainstream with her 2014 hit “Boom Clap” for the John Green novel-to-film adaptation of “The Fault In Our Stars.”

Now, fans of the singer continue to cheer her on for a year full of professional and personal celebrations. Some even went as far as taking note of the lyrics of Daniel and XCX’s collaboration, and how it could have hinted at their engagement prior to this announcement.

Many joke that Daniel should change his last name to XCX to match her stage name.

Amid the engagement news, fans now await what some are dubbing a “royal wedding” in music.

Despite the overwhelming amount of well-wishes sent to the couple, some continue to associate Daniel with the mounting controversies that surround his bandmate Matty Healy.

Most recently, Healy appeared to praise Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, mid-concert. West himself has become a widely disgraced figure in the entertainment and pop culture sphere, both for his espousing of antisemitic and far-right views.

While Healy claimed to praise West “separate of the antisemitism”, critics of the alt rock singer feel that he should not have voiced any support for West at all.

The singer’s previous relationship with acclaimed songstress Taylor Swift in the spring of 2022 led many to uncover a number of his previous remarks, which many onlookers found to be offensive. Notably, Healy once called rapper Ice Spice “a chubby Chinese woman with one song” on “the Adam Friedland Show,” among a number of other incidents. Spice later confirmed that Healy had apologized to her.

A wedding date for Charli XCX and George Daniel is to be announced.

The article attributes it to the organizers, which covers you.) — **Creator Frankie LaPenna fights ‘Terminator’ robot in first human vs. robot bout** SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A man stepped into a fighting cage with a 6-foot humanoid robot, and the robot came out on top. Robotics startup REK staged the human-versus-humanoid kickboxing demonstration in San Francisco on Friday, Sept. 18, putting creator Frankie LaPenna inside a cage with the machine. The opponent was the 80-kilogram (176-pound) EngineAI T800, a humanoid built to look like the Terminator. LaPenna, wearing a helmet and chest protector, landed a few punches before the robot kicked him in the head, according to the official video description. Footage shows the robot kicking him across the cage as spectators outside the ring looked on. “We just made history with the first Human VS Terminator robot fight,” REK posted on X on Sept. 20, adding that more fight footage is coming. The “first” label comes from REK and LaPenna and has not been independently verified. The robot was not fighting on its own. REK’s robots are not autonomous fighters, and the event showcased remote control and mechanical stability rather than independent combat strategy. The bout was part of REK’s work on a virtual reality combat game in which people remotely control humanoid robots to compete against each other. REK founder Cix Liv came to robotics from virtual reality and is building a sport that links virtual competition to physical machines. The LaPenna match pushed his format beyond the company’s usual robot-versus-robot fights. Online, viewers debated whether a trained fighter would fare better, with some predicting human-versus-robot bouts could reach the UFC within five years. — Note: AP datelines use a dash after the city.
