In an electrifying moment at her recent concert, Charli xcx brought out pop sensations Addison Rae and Troye Sivan to perform Rae’s viral hit “Diet Pepsi.”

The performance occurred during Charli xcx’s “Sweat Tour” at Madison Square Garden. Known for her genre-defying sound and boundary-pushing performances, the pop sensation has built a reputation for herself as an industry legend.

Recently, Charli xcx and Troye Sivan have shared the “Sweat Tour” stage throughout North America. The two singers will be performing together until the middle of October. This particular show, however, became even more memorable when Addison Rae and Troye Sivan took the stage for the surprise rendition of “Diet Pepsi.”

“Diet Pepsi,” currently sits at Number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, her first song to do so. The song has gained significant attention after getting popular on social media platforms like TikTok. Rae emerged onto the stage and launched into a couple of bars of “Diet Pepsi,” and was then joined by the duo, who sang the remaining portion of the song as a trio.

The emerging pop artist also performed alongside a few backup dancers during the song’s outro.

Rae’s remix of the song “Von Dutch” was also performed unexpectedly later that evening. A.G. Cook produced the influencer’s remix, incorporating a signature high-pitched scream from the rising singer. In an unofficial TikTok post detailing the process of creating the “Von dutch a.g. cook remix starring addison rae,” the “brat” singer wrote, “the moment addison did this during ad libs..one take. none of us knew it was coming.”

During the performance of this song, fans screamed along with Charli and Rae as strobe lights flashed in the arena.

Lorde also joined the party by performing “Girl, So Confusing Featuring Lorde,” alongside xcx marking its live debut. As fans eagerly await, Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat, these performances were a night to remember.
