Charli XCX reveals terrifying encounter with a huge snake in Australia during Laneway Festival Brat tour

Charli XCX has been embracing all Australia has to offer over the last couple of weeks during her slew of Laneway Festival shows Down Under.

However, the popstar had a close call with one of the country’s snakes –  a python. 

The 360 hitmaker, 32, took to social media to reveal her run-in with the reptile, admitting she nearly stepped on it. 

‘Had the best time in Australia and New Zealand playing these shows with some of my favs,’ she wrote on Instagram, accompanied with a collection of pictures taken during her time Down Under. 

‘Ty all for coming to see me and ty @lanewayfest.’

She then ended the post with: ‘Can’t believe I nearly stepped on a python.’

During her stay, the singer made the most of the summer weather, taking time out to enjoy one of the Australia’s finest beaches.

Charli went for a dip with friends in Byron Bay, the A-list enclave known for housing the mansions of superstars such as Chris Hemsworth.

She appeared to have a ball at the NSW seaside town, hitting the waves on Monday and Tuesday last week in-between gigs.

For her relaxed day out, the British star wore a skimpy black string bikini that put her gym-honed figure on display.

The singer and her fiancé George Daniels are reportedly set to tie the knot in a ‘unique style’ Italian wedding this summer.

Charli, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, and The 1975 drummer, 34, announced their engagement in November 2023 after dating for over a year.

Now it’s believed plans are well and truly in motion for the big day that ‘won’t be traditional’ with a whole host of famous faces on the guest list.

According to The Sun, Charli and George scoped out venues in Italy last summer, after deciding to wed in the country which holds a ‘special place’ in both their hearts.

The publication reports the lavish event will be attended by the likes of George’s bandmate Matty Healy, 35, as well as Charli’s frequent collaborator Troye Sivan, 29.

‘Charli and George both love Italy and it holds a special place in their hearts so they decided that’s where they want to get married,’ a source close to the couple said. 

‘They’ve found a venue that they think is perfect for their unique style of wedding, which won’t exactly be traditional. The main aim is to have everyone they love come together and obviously there are plenty of people who are desperate for an invite.’

MailOnline have contacted Charli’s representatives for comment.
