Charli XCX’s self-teasing mockumentary ‘The Moment’ fends off an endless Brat summer

If you know Charli XCX only from her vibrant aesthetic and a viral tweet calling Kamala Harris “brat,” you’re not alone – about one in five Americans saw that tweet! Born Charlotte Aitchison in England in 1992, she’s a remarkably talented singer-songwriter who started her career independently on MySpace at just 14 years old. She was playing live shows at dance parties soon after. In fact, journalists were playfully commenting on her pursuit of fame over a decade ago, feeling it was taking a while because she began so young.
