Recently, the star went viral for a clip released of her playing a diva version of herself in the upcoming series Overcompensating. The clip features her angrily yelling at an assistant over being asked to perform her 2014 hit ”Boom Clap.” Fans are excited for her new role, as it appears to be her unhinged, self-aware take on the pop star stereotype.

“I think it’s awesome that I get to be involved in something that reflects real-life experiences, especially for young people today navigating their identities,” Charli said in an interview.
