Charli XCX recently spoke about her experience as the opening act for Taylor Swift's R eputation Tour. In this way, the singer was extremely sincere and pointed out that it did not seem like a very good experience at a professional level:

I'm really thankful that Taylor asked me to be on his tour. But, as an artist, he felt like he was going on stage to greet 5-year-olds.

Charli XCX's statements simply referred to her music being aimed at a different audience than Taylor Swift's, so fans of the latter might not appreciate her as an artist.
