Charli XCX has been in the news a lot of the past week — not for her music or even for her cinematic explorations but because she allegedly calls Taylor Swift “Boring Barbie” when the coke’s got her brave. Swift’s diss track “Actually Romantic,” which sure seems to be aimed at Charli, really just serves as one more sign that Charli’s cultural footprint has never been bigger than it is now. Charli knows it, too. She’s used her moment to jump into motion pictures, taking acting roles in a great many upcoming projects. Those films have started to make their festival debuts, and the reviews of Charli’s performances have generally been strong. Today, she unveiled the cast of The Moment, her own upcoming film.
