Charli XCX and Troye Sivan have teamed up for a daring new photoshoot ahead of their much-anticipated Sweat tour. Photographed by Eli Russell Linnetz for i-D magazine, the shoot captures the duo in a series of bold, punk-rock-meets-pop visuals.
In one standout image, Sivan is seen wearing nothing but a pair of low-waisted jeans, while Charli poses beside him in mini denim shorts and a pink lace bra, her arm around her tourmate. Each photograph, styled by Claudia Sinclair under the creative direction of Jamie Reid, is an ode to the pair’s undeniable musical chemistry and friendship.
Styled in edgy, studded outfits in a different shot, and wearing matching tank tops with the slogan ‘About F*cking Time’ in another, Charli and Troye channel their unapologetic personalities, giving a glimpse into the intensity and creative synergy behind their collaboration. The photoshoot’s headline, “Sweat!”, hints at the high-energy vibe of their upcoming shows, where they plan to deliver exhilarating performances backed by stunning visuals.

In the accompanying cover interview, Charli spoke about being part of a “new wave” of pop stars who are thriving in mainstream culture while honouring their LGBTQ+ identities and influences. This is a sentiment that both artists share, as they continue to push boundaries and celebrate the queer community in the music industry.
The Sweat tour kicks off in Detroit and will travel across North America, hitting cities like Toronto, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, and Miami. With special guest Shygirl joining them, the tour is expected to be an unmissable experience that celebrates not only their individual musical achievements but also their commitment to creating an inclusive space for fans.
