No ifs or buts, here’s which meal deal each of the iconic pop girlies would be

The pop girlies’ takeover is truly on the rise this summer. From Pink Pony Club to the Revolving Door dance, it’s almost impossible to avoid and I’m not going to lie, we’re all loving it. You’ve probably spent more time discussing Sabrina Carpenter’s rebrand over anything else at the minute, and it’s put one question in my mind.

There may only be a handful of UK pop stars taking the internet by storm, but they’re definitely sprinkling a bit of local culture onto our timelines, and what’s the most British thing you can think of? The humble meal deal. Yes, you can imagine Charli XCX chomping on a few apple slices, but what about the girlies from across the water?

Based purely on scientific evidence, and not just vibes, here’s my comprehensive insight into which meal deal trio each of our beloved pop girlies would be. No, we haven’t hit Taylor Swift with the tuna mayo label, don’t worry.

Chappell Roan is the epitome of an upmarket pesto and mozzarella wrap. She’s keeping it simple in the dressing room so she can give it her all on stage – pair that with a canned iced oat latte for a bit of energy, and a pot of fruit on the side. Her iconic moment during Charli XCX‘s set at Primavera Festival obviously pays homage to the sheer amount of apple slices she’s getting at on tour. I respect that.

Charli XCX

What screams Brat Summer more than the classic black and green can of a Monster Energy? It’s no secret that Charli XCX isn’t leaving her party girl era anytime soon, but balance that out with an organic falafel wrap and everything’s alright again. At heart, she’s still a young girl from Essex, which means you can stick a packet of Salt and Vinegar Squares in her hand and she’ll be sent right back to her roots.

Sabrina Carpenter

She might be the queen of a country girl rebrand, but Sabrina Carpenter as a meal deal would be nothing but Short ‘n’ Sweet. Famously, she’s never eaten a McDonalds before, so she screams a pesto salad bowl, a pink smoothie, and most likely a packet of Candy Kittens. Anything to satisfy her sweet tooth.

Addison Rae

I’m not even going to debate the meal deal drink that sums up Addison Rae the best. Get that Diet Pepsi straight in the basket. If we’re talking mains, she’d absolutely be one of those fancy sushi rolls, paired with a bag of Proper Corn or something of the sorts. She’s chasing that LA lifestyle, so anything close to being from Erewhon hits the nail on the head.

Taylor Swift

Ah, old reliable Taylor Swift. She’s classic, she’s an all-rounder, and she’s reminding us of a BLT, a plain old Dairy Milk bar, and a sparkling water. There’s nothing boring about being a universal choice, I promise.

Olivia Rodrigo

Hands down, Olivia Rodrigo would be a heat-and-eat ramen bowl. She’s still got her Gen Z roots in there and loves a packet of spicy noodles – pair that with a Diet Coke and some Cadbury’s Chocolate Buttons on the side, and be on your way.

Tate McRae

As one of the youngest of our beloved pop girlies, Tate McRae probably doesn’t even remember the golden age of a £3 meal deal, and we can’t let that slide. If she was a sandwich, she’d be a salmon and cream cheese situation. To drink? Flavoured water. As a snack? Ready Salted Walkers. Easy.

SZA

Now we can’t imagine SZA stopping by a Tesco Express of any kind, but trust us when we say she’d be a boujie option. Think an M&S deli sandwich, a cleansing juice packed with functional mushrooms and vitamins, and a pot of fancy olives to top it all off.

Lola Young

If there’s one pop girlie out there that truly sums up the cultural status of a meal deal, it’s Lola Young. She’d 100 per cent be a sweet chilli chicken wrap, a mini tub of Pringles, and a Fanta Fruit Twist. She’s raw, real, and knows exactly how to deliver a banger.

Billie Eilish

Another queen of the meal deal bowls. Billie Eilish would be an avocado and feta salad bowl, washed down with an iced americano from the coffee machine, and a packet of insanely spicy crisps on the side. Her Hot Ones days still haunt her a little bit.

Lorde

Out of all the pop girlies as meal deals, Lorde has got to be up there as one of the most mysterious meal deal-ers ever. There’s no way she can be compared to a bog standard supermarket scenario – she’d be a posh toastie from an independent spot in the city, with an organic brownie on the side. If she was a drink? A canned Espresso Martini, probably.

Katy Perry

If anyone’s destined to be an outlandish meal deal, it’s Katy Perry. As long as she’s getting it on Just Eat, she’d definitely be a sushi selection, carrot sticks and hummus, and a Blackcurrant Ribena. Sorry, not sorry.
