Charli XCX is dreaming up a new kind of horror film, one that’s stylish, bloody, and full of “It Girls.” During a recent TikTok filmed while lounging poolside in Sicily, the pop star shared her vision for the next Final Destination movie and even pitched herself for a role.
She’s not just a casual fan. Charli, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, has been rewatching every film in the franchise in preparation for Final Destination: Bloodlines, which hit cinemas on 16 May. What draws her to the series? Its brutal simplicity. “They’re hot, they’re cursed, and they deserve to die,” she joked, calling out how the films don’t pretend to have deeper meaning but are just gory fun.

But Charli thinks it’s time for the franchise to evolve. “Shouldn’t there be a version with It Girls?” she asked. Her dream cast? A mix of online stars and scream queens: Rachel Sennott, Gabbriette, Alex Consani, Quenlin Blackwell, Romy Mars, Devon Lee Carlson, and herself, of course. She also thinks Jenna Ortega would be perfect, given her horror track record with Wednesday, Scream, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. As a nod to horror history, she suggested adding a veteran like Sissy Spacek to the mix.
Charli even had directors in mind, suggesting names like Robert Rodriguez or Ti West. “Maybe even go wild and get someone like David Fincher,” she joked. As for the plot? It doesn’t need much tweaking, just more stylish chaos. “Everyone gets completely massacred. Super bloody. That’s it,” she said.

Her video was playful, but her love for the franchise felt real. She doesn’t want to change the tone of the series, just give it a fresh, fashionable update. And considering how Final Destination films have thrived with unknown casts before, a version starring pop culture’s edgiest faces could actually work.
No word yet on whether there’ll be a Final Destination 7, but if there is, Charli’s pitch has already stirred up buzz. And with her growing screen presence and Ortega’s horror clout, this version might just have legs and lots of fake blood.
The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
