Charli XCX reveals she wants to ‘quit music’ for new career path

Charli XCX is looking to do a total career “360.”

The “Brat” hitmaker revealed she hopes to “quit music” to pursue more acting roles during her Feb. 22 appearance on Quen Blackwell’s “Feeding Starving Celebrities” YouTube series.

“Do you want to act more?” Blackwell asked the pop star, too which Charli responded, “Yes, are you kidding? I want to quit music, babe, and act.”

Blackwell then pointed out the star’s obvious success on her latest album, “Brat” — which won a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Album in 2025.

“What else is there to do?” Charli replied.

As for her dream project, the singer said she would like to do an “ultimate it-girl ‘Final Destination'” film, adding that she made a TikTok about the potential project.

“I namechecked you in it,” she told Blackwell of the May 2025 TikTok clip. “We’re all just running around being so hot, but being killed in the craziest ways.”

In the TikTok, Charli also named Rachel Sennott, Alex Consani, Gabbriette, Romy Mars and herself as possible cast members for the fictional movie.

The “365” songstress recently starred as herself in her mockumentary-style film, “The Moment,” which was released in January.

Also included among the cast was Kylie Jenner, Kate Berlant, Alexander Skarsgård, Rosanna Arquette and Jamie Demetriou.

The movie follows a fictional version of the artist as she struggles with fame and heightened demands of the music industry while also prepping for an arena tour.

In October 2025, the singer explained that the idea was born out of the pressure Charli faced from her label to record a documentary of her “Brat” album and subsequent tour.

“It’s not a tour documentary or a concert film in any way, but the seed of the idea was conceived from this idea of being pressured to make one,” Charli told Vanity Fair at the time.

“It’s fiction, but it’s the realest depiction of the music industry that I’ve ever seen,” she continued.
