"The teaser for Charli's upcoming tour mockumentary debuted on November 20, shot behind the scenes at Charli's actual tour dates. In it, Charli plays a parody version of herself, self-important and self-serious, as she attempts to control the brat phenomenon. "Nothing is more important than Brat," she claims. Maybe, as comedian Tessa Belle theorized on StraightioLab, Charli XCX really is the new Judd Apatow."
"At one point in the chaotic trailer soundtracked by A.G. Cook, there's silence. Then, a mannequin clatters to the floor from the ceiling and breaks apart. "Is that supposed to be me?" Charli XCX worries. It is. Aside from Charli herself, the stacked cast includes Kylie Jenner doing the "Apple" dance, Rachel Sennott demanding the mockumentarians cut a clip of her, and director Hailey Benton Gates warning Charli something is "a fucking disaster.""
