In themusic videoforBarbietrack “Speed Drive,“Charli XCXtakes being a passenger princess to a whole new level.
The British singer-songwriter, 31, starts off the high-speed music video in the passenger seat of any Barbie lover’s dream car — a pink Corvette outfitted with fuzzy seat covers, a Barbie Land license plate and, naturally, glitter everywhere.

The convertible is the perfect nod to the iconic doll from the singer, whose discography is chock-full of references to cars. (See: “Vroom Vroom,“Crashand every verse of “I Love It.")
Behind the wheel of the life-size Barbie-mobile is none other than internet “it” girlDevon Lee Carlson(a cheeky nod to lyric “Devon Lee smile teeth a white row”) who drops Charli off — and speeds off to do donuts around her for the rest of the video.

Charli also gets a bit meta, putting the music video within the music video on pause when she receives a call from fellowBarbie: The AlbumcontributorSam Smith. During their call, the pop stars appear to tease an upcoming collaboration.
After the singer hangs up with Smith, Carlson kicks it into high gear while Charli kicks off the song’s catchy chorus: “Ah, Barbie, you’re so fine / You’re so fine, you blow my mind.”
