Charli XCX has always delivered utterly insane music videos, from the CGI fun of 1999 with Troye Sivan to the fiery bondage-inspired Gone with Christine & The Queens and the Bond movie jetski vibes of 2099.
Now Charli's dropped the video for White Mercedes and her fans are absolutely gagging about the fact that Charli included no actual Mercedes cars in the video. A power move.
Like 2099, White Mercedes has got major action-movie inspo - from flaming and demolished cars to amazing aerial views of a truck doing a donut around Charli in an amazing pink tulle dress. It's got everything you'd want in a music video... except the actual object that the song is about.
Instead she's standing atop a moving Dodge Ram and crushing what looks like a Toyota. Charli doesn't miss a beat so we're sure it's a deliberate move but go figure.

I’m still dead at the fact that none of the cars are a white Mercedes. She knows her audience! https://t.co/LwW3NzISC4

White Mercedes more like White Toyota
