Charli XCX is not a girl, so confusing—she’s a girl, on the mend.
The “360” singer—who completed her joint Sweat tour with Troye Sivan in October—recently detailed the pain she now suffers from due to her onstage antics.
“I find the stage these days to be a very angry place for me,” she told Variety in an interview published Dec. 4. “I’ve done a lot of physical damage to my body from performing and I’m often in a lot of pain when I perform.”
In fact, Charli (real name Charlotte Emma Aitchison) shared she’s rocked so hard that she’s injured herself, adding, “Genuinely, physically I have nerve damage in my neck from things that I’ve done on the stage.”
But the “Sympathy is a knife” artist—whose Brat album is nominated for seven Grammys, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year—also noted that giving her all on stage is part of her process.
