Charli xcx’s original idea has been turned into a film, which also features the British pop star playing a fictionalized version of herself, and A24’s The Moment released its first trailer on Thursday (Nov. 20).

The chaotic teaser sees her diving into a reimagined version of her Brat era. Charli’s artist name and her 2024 album are used throughout the clip, which finds the singer preparing for her first arena world tour while navigating the turbulence of fame and a spotlight that’s burning brighter than ever.


“When I felt like people started to care about me, nothing else mattered,” Charli says in the trailer. “Nothing was more important than Brat.”

The Canada Music Fund is getting a new boost from the federal government.

At last night's ADISQ Gala in Montreal (Nov. 8), the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Marc Miller, announced that the federal government will invest $67 million to the Canada Music Fund, as part of the government's promised $600 million investment into the cultural sector. The sum was first announced in June to provide "immediate relief" to the country's audio and audiovisual sector and confirmed for 2026-27 in the latest federal budget, which was tabled last week. Over the weekend, Ottawa gave a long-awaited breakdown of how the funds will be allocated.
