Troye Sivan and Charli XCX First Met at a “Spooky” House Party

Ever since Charli XCX and Troye Sivan announced their forthcoming “Sweat” tour, the gay internet has been in shambles. Will this downright historic pop team-up cause a poppers shortage? Will your phone explode if you try to open Grindr at one of the shows? And will any of us survive the rush — I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m trying to delete it — to buy tickets?

Such is the anticipation for the North American tour that Seth Meyers had the dynamic duo on Late Night earlier this week for a rare joint interview. The entire conversation is worth watching as an anthropological case study in what it looks like for a well-meaning straight ally to ask about the lives of two hypercool pop girlies, especially as he tries to decipher the circumstances of their first meeting.

“Charli had a house party and I somehow ended up there,” Sivan tells Meyers, in a sentence that somehow contains crucial information and none at all. How did the “One of Your Girls” singer end up there, exactly? Was he not invited? Did the flow of the universe simply carry him to her door? Do people in Los Angeles not RSVP?

“This was … in L.A.?” Meyers asks, trying to root the event somewhere in time and space.

To which Charli responds that she used to live in an old Tudor house that was “a little bit scary” where she hosted legendary (and loud) house parties that her neighbors despised. “I don’t remember much of the party,” Sivan adds, after agreeing that the house had “spooky vibes.”

In “Seth and Kristen Go Day Drinking,” Stewart gives Meyers a complete "lesbian makeover."

But this next bit is my favorite part: Charli XCX apparently had no idea Troye Sivan was going to be at her own party. “I didn’t know you were coming,” the hyperpop icon tells him. “I was quite starstruck when I met you.”

So to clarify: Sivan “somehow ended up” in Charli XCX’s kitchen — which is where they finally crossed paths for the first time — despite her having no memory of inking him an invitation. I envy the level of coolness one must attain to meet people this way, because at this stage of my life, I feel more like one of the grumpy neighbors who called in a noise complaint on Charli XCX.

During the rest of the interview, Meyers bravely tries to hold his own throughout a conversation about raves and Australian queer slang, but he finds himself on solid footing again when asking Sivan about Timothée Chalamet’s parody of the “Got Me Started” choreography in last year’s viral SNL skit. Apparently, because Sivan had approved the licensing of the song, he had some idea it might appear in the show, but he never could have imagined that the Dune star was going to play him.

“I had no idea any details,” Sivan says. “I did a Google search and saw that Timothée was hosting and so I was like, ‘There’s no way.’”

As it turns out, there definitely was a way. Now we just need Chalamet to make a cameo on the “Sweat” tour and the circle will be complete.
