I hate this soooo much. I was so excited to see her do this

[Kitsch 499]

It is indeed sad, but it was the right thing to do.

Wait excuse my ignorance but is covid that bad in New York? I’ve been so caught up in finals that I’ve not read the news in a couple weeks

I ****ing hate covid, this is so sad

Im surprised they didn't record one of the rehearsals in case this happened. Considering they were all there.

It's a shame, Charli so rarely does these big televised performances.

Yes. Omicron is already exploding here.

Another reason to hate Covid. It is literally against gay rights.

I AM SO PISSED I was literally looking forward to this all day 😭😭😭 I don’t even understand now how they’re going to do the show, a bunch of the crew and cast are out, and now both musical performances are gone?? Wtf? At this point I’m surprised they didn’t cancel it outright. Man I was so excited to see Charli kill it. F*** COVID

It’s spreading rapidly, but because everyone is vaccinated it obviously hasn’t  been as deadly or serious, but people still quarantine to save the lives of those that aren’t vaccinated. Still very disruptive.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Salty af about this. Was very excited for her.

Dude, that blows. I feel like there’s always something that gets in her way or sabotages her. It’s really not fair.

It’s slightly sus that they’re still going through with airing the episode though even though her performances are cancelled. They test people at 30 Rock like crazy, it makes me think that somebody in her camp got COVID and that’s why her performance in particular is cancelled.

Update: Just watched the episode, I guess it was just skeleton crew, all the cast stayed home, and they played just digital shorts. Weird, but hopeful that this Omicron situation will get under control in NY quick since everyone’s being pretty vigilant quickly. And the vaccine status on New Yorkers is really great, so hopefully hospitals won’t get crazy again.
