【Chilli and Banana】

In what's probably been the most anticipated event of the year,Chilli and Banana maybe more watched than Glicked, the U.S. presidential election, and Moo Deng's latest lettuce hat, George Daniel finally succumbed to the "Apple" dance.

The producer and Charli XCX's fiancé has been under pressure to do the TikTok viral dance created by Kelley Heyer, ever since brat summer flooded our feeds and minds. Said pressure has mostly come from artist herself, who has requested that Daniel do the "Apple" dance multiple times in TikTok videos.

On Thursday, during the artist's brat arena show at London's O2, Daniel finally did the damn thing — and it was filmed and beamed onto the big screen to 20,000 concertgoers. Reader, yes I was there. Yes, I'm smug about it.

Yes, it was worth the wait and light bullying, people.

And it wasn't the only surprise at the London show either, with Charli XCX bringing out pals Robyn, Caroline Polachek, and Yung Lean for the encore, performing the remix of "Everything is romantic," for the first time, Polachek's "Welcome To My Island," and Robyn's "Dancing On My Own." She also performed "365" with Shygirl, who supported the gig. But by far, it was Daniel performing the "Apple" dance that saw the most phones in the air.
