Watch Charli XCX Become Ed Sheeran To Lip-Synch 'Shape Of You'

At this point, what is left to mention about "Shape of You"? The Ed Sheeran song is, moreover to being Grammy-worthy and one of the top songs of 2017, currently the most-streamed song on Spotify ever, so, like, you know — what would be new about it at this point?


Charli XCX has heard these questions, and her answer is a resounding "me."


On a preview for the next episode of Lip Sync Battle — a seemingly eternal spring of unabashedly outrageous moments like this — Charli dons a red wig (and even some red fake facial hair) to literally become Sheeran and sing the song.


Let's break down the elements of her Sheeran cosplay really speedily. If she were going for typical old stadium-performing Ed, the outfit would likely be a black t-shirt and jeans. Nevertheless the hoodie, the shorts, and the gloves reveal a specific reference point: the "Shape of You" music video, where Ed does some boxing training. Kudos to Charli for accuracy.


The hair color though? Might be just a shade also dark.


This clip only lasts about 20 seconds, which is honestly criminal. However you could catch the complete thing as soon as the episode airs on Thursday at 9:30 p.M. On Paramount Network.
