Charli XCX cried while watching Kanye perform: 'He's the best artist of my generation'

'Boom Clap' songstress Charli XCX has revealed that she was overcome with emotion while watching Kanye West perform at the GRAMMYs because she finds him to be such an inspiration. 

Speaking to 4Music about getting to see him live, she explained that it was an honour and she considers him to be this generation's most important artist:

"When I was at the GRAMMYs, I was watching Kanye perform and I cried because I thought it was amazing. I was like, he's an artist, he's the biggest and best artist of my generation and I'm getting to watch him live. I'd never seen him play before and I was very overwhelmed because I think he's brilliant."

Back in February, meanwhile, Charli XCX confessed that she sometimes suffers with social anxiety and explained that meeting new people makes her nervous: "I'm often very unsure and suffer from panic attacks. If I have to meet new people and speak to them, I get very scared. I feel clumsy and embarrassed of myself."
