Charli XCX Revealed Her Spotify Wrapped, Favorite Tour Moments, and Future Collabs

The end of the year is a time for reflection, but more importantly, it’s a time to see your Spotify Wrapped and look back on the music and podcasts you were obsessed with this past year.

To celebrate this year’s Wrapped (which unveiled new features like Your Listening Personality), Spotify hosted its 2022 Wrapped Playground event on December 1 in Los Angeles. The event was a carnival-themed interactive experience complete with activations inspired by some of this year’s top artists like Gravy’s Marvelous House of Mirrors (inspired by Yung Gravy) and Bad Habit Skee-Ball (inspired by Steve Lacy’s smash hit, “Bad Habit”). There were also a few carnival rides, games, and even a booth to customize your own airbrushed trucker hat. Seriously, this event had it all. 

In addition to the fun games and activations, Wrapped Playground also had a few special guests. Multi-hyphenate Paris Hilton made an appearance, kicking off the event with an hour-long DJ set, followed by a special performance from fan-favorite Charli XCX, who is coming off a massive year in music. 

Before she took the stage, Teen Vogue caught up with Charli, who shared her personal Spotify Wrapped, highlights from her Crash tour, and more below:

Teen Vogue: First off, can you give us a glimpse into your personal Spotify Wrapped? Who are your top artists of the year? 

Charli XCX: My top artist, my number one artist was Hudson Mohawk. I was my second *laughs* Then, who else was on there? M.I.A, and I think YoungMe was on there, too. 

TV: A lot of your top songs on Spotify this year were your collaborations with other artists like Tiësto and Saweetie. Do you have plans on doing more collaborations in the new year that we can look forward to? Or is there anyone you want to collaborate with? 

CXCX: At the moment I’m just finishing touring, so I’m actually just looking forward to not working at all, and just chilling. So that’s my focus at the moment. But in terms of someone who I’d like to work with, I really would love to work with Lil Uzi Vert, he’s like my favorite artist right now. 

TV: You’ve had such a great year with new music and touring. Do you have any favorite moments from the tour?

CXCX: Yeah, I think playing any shows where lots of friends and family are there is always really special. So the London show was really amazing, because a lot of my best friends came, and my parents came. It was very wholesome and sweet, and just felt like a really exciting moment to play Ally Pally, which is quite an iconic venue in the UK.  

TV: So, you’re performing tonight. What songs are you most excited to play?

CXCX: Well, I know that some of my top listeners are coming tonight, and I feel like my fans really do love my song “Vroom Vroom.” So I’ve put that in the set list for them, and that song always feels really fun too.
