The opening night of Charli xcx and Troye Sivan’s Sweat Tour kicked off in Detroit, but it wasn’t just the music that had fans buzzing. 

The Duolingo bird, known as the mascot for the popular language-learning app, was spotted in the crowd, wearing a ‘brat’ shirt.

Duolingo’s iconic mascot didn’t stop there. After its appearance, the bird reposted news of its attendance, originally shared by Pop Base, and added its own flair: "talk to me in french talk to me in spanish 💋." 

This cheeky caption referenced a lyric from Charli xcx and Troye Sivan's recent Talk Talk remix.

The remix, which dropped just days before the tour, includes Dua Lipa lending her voice in both French and Spanish, making it a standout. 

Lipa’s bilingual voice notes begin and end the track, kicking it off with, "Hay una fiesta en mi casa, vengan. Será muy divertido," translating to, "There is a party at my house, come. It will be very fun." She wraps it up with, "J'ai perdu mon téléphone mais tu sais quoi? Ça valait la peine parce que c'était une soirée de fou," meaning, "I lost my phone, but you know what? It was worth it because it was an insane party."

The Sweat Tour officially launched on September 14, with Troye and Charli alternating sets and performing fan-favorite tracks, including their latest hits. 

The night was filled with high-energy performances, surprises, and of course, the unforgettable cameo by Duolingo’s green bird.
