Fresh off the buzz around her mockumentary The Moment and her album for Wuthering Heights, Charli XCX is making one thing clear: she’s not leaving the world of cinema anytime soon. We’re officially living in the CCU (the Charli Cinematic Universe).
During an appearance on Feeding Starving Celebrities, host Quen Blackwell asked Charli whether she’d be interested in acting more, to which she replied, “Yes, are you kidding? I want to quit music, babe, and act.” Yes, you read that right. Quit music.
She is already confirmed to have a role in the upcoming projects, I Want Your Sex, Faces of Death, 100 Nights of Horror, Sacrifice, and Erupcja, just to name a few, and wrote music for Mother Mary, the upcoming Anne Hathaway-as-a-cult-pop star film. The girl is booked! I’m ignoring the actual words “quit music” in favor of another path I see unfolding for her.
And my theory kind of rhymes with brat…dot dot dot…EGOT.
Here’s how I think Charli can EGOT by 2027. The G (Grammy) was already secured when brat took home three Grammys last year. One down, three to go.
The E (Emmy) will be easy. They give out Daytime Emmy Awards like candy, so I’m sure she can find one somewhere. She could take over for P!nk, who is taking over for Kelly Clarkson, on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Or how about a soap? When in doubt, Days of Our Lives. That, or she could make a killer guest appearance on season two of fellow it-girl Rachel Sennott’s I Love LA, where maybe Rachel’s character spills Rock Shrimp Tempura all over Charli’s microshorts at the West Hollywood Nobu. Just a thought. The 2026 Emmys are in September, and the 2027 Emmys are in September…2027 (crazy), so she has at least a year to secure this.
The O (Oscar) will be trickier, but again, she has some time, and—most importantly—musical talent. As anyone who’s watched 30 Rock remembers, Tracy Jordan successfully got himself an EGOT with song. Both Wuthering Heights and Mother Mary will be eligible for the 2027 Oscars, so she could very well nab a gold statue for Best Original Score or Best Original Song. She doesn’t even have to worry about out-acting Emma Stone to bag this one!
The only obstacle left is the T (Tony), which could take longer than 2027, but also maybe not! All she really needs to do is make Brat: The Musical, and I’m honestly shocked this isn’t already in the works. Or, like Tracy Jordan, she can just throw together a one-woman Broadway show. I’m telling you, go place your Polymarket bets now.
“What else is there to do?” Charli added on the episode. EGOT-ing! It’s the only logical next step if she truly is leaving the party girl persona behind. She is approaching 34, after all, and if you’ve ever been cornered by someone over the age of 29, they’ll tell you—even if you didn’t ask—how hangovers don’t get any easier with age. There are only so many migraines one can endure.
I have no doubt we’ll never truly lose our 365 Party Girl…which also sounds like another great title for a musical. See how easy this could be!
