Overnight, she gained hundreds of thousands of fans.

She was the new queen of gays.

She was truly an inspiration to us all.

For many, her memory is their last memory before the pandemic.

As this person simply said, it's "haunting."

After her viral moment, Charlotte released an official "Shallow" music video.

She continued regularly posting covers on her Instagram.

She posted Britney Spears-inspired fashion shows.

Honestly, things seemed good!

In 2022, she submitted a song for Eurovision.

In February 2023, Charlotte appeared to be back in the studio.

And now, a clip of Charlotte is going viral on X.

People can't believe *it's her*

Yes, her voice is beautiful/stunning etc., but people are cautiously optimistic about the whole thing.

The viral clip has nearly 30000 likes (!!!), so I did a mini deep dive on the IG, and here's what I found.

Charlotte is still performing and is apparently a regular at the Pizza Express Live in Chelsea.

In May of this year, she released a new song called "Serenity."

And judging from this comment, it appears she is working on a covers album:

Ultimately, if you give her socials a follow, you'll see Charlotte still exudes that same positive aura that captivated the world in the "Shallow" video.

People are re-discovering her all over again.
