Tyla delivered her Tyla THAT GIRL music video A*POP London premiere on October 16, 2026, unveiling a live action visual in Brixton. The premiere happened Friday, October 16, 2026 during her A*POP World Tour show in London at O2 Academy Brixton.
The sharpest detail is the setting for the reveal. It was the second of 2 sold out nights in London, so the first audience for the new video was a live crowd already inside the A*POP world. Directed by Aerin Moreno and filmed in Los Angeles, the video moves THAT GIRL from its first animated world into live action, with choreography by frequent collaborator Litchi HOV.
From Animation To A Lo-Fi Lot Takeover In Los Angeles
THAT GIRL now has 2 distinct visual lives. The first video built an animated world for the song from Tyla’s second album A*POP, and this second visual brings the same energy into the real world. The new clip is a lo-fi lot takeover with her dance troupe, recalling the neon A*POP tracklist reveal that introduced fans to the album era. That callback matters. It ties the tour, the album artwork language and the video into one continuous story that fans can follow from announcement to stage to screen.
Moreno’s direction keeps the focus on movement and group chemistry rather than heavy effects. Filmed in Los Angeles, the lot setting gives Tyla and her dancers space to turn choreography into the main event, which is exactly where she is strongest. Litchi HOV’s choreography has become a signature part of her visual identity, and here it drives the entire piece. The result feels immediate and joyful, like a moment captured with friends who happen to be world class performers, while still delivering the precision her fans expect from every release.
“She brims with aura and vivacious energy from the onset of the video, which calls back to the ambiance of her memorable, neon-themed A*POP tracklist reveal before transporting the viewer to LA, where she and Moreno craft an intentionally lo-fi affair, starring Tyla and her dance troupe as they take over a lot and turn it into an A*POP oasis.” BroadwayWorld label release, as published by BroadwayWorld, Oct 16, 2026
Videos Are A Core Part Of The Tyla Story
The numbers behind her visuals explain why a premiere like this is treated as a major event. Per the release, the videos from her debut album generated over 400 million views, a total that shows how central the screen has been to her rise. In the A*POP era, the Chanel video passed 150 million views and topped the US Afrobeats chart, proving that the second album cycle is building the same kind of visual momentum at an even larger scale.
Her chart record reinforces that reach. IS IT LOVE? gave Tyla a record fourth No. 1 on Billboard US Afrobeats Songs, extending a run that no other artist has matched on that chart. When a singer combines that level of chart consistency with videos that regularly pass 100 million views, each new visual arrives with real anticipation. THAT GIRL benefits from that history. Fans are not just checking for a new clip. They are expecting a defining moment for the song, and the live action shift, the London premiere and the Los Angeles lot takeover deliver that sense of occasion from 3 different angles at once.
Toronto Is Next On The A*POP World Tour
The tour context makes this premiere even bigger for Canadian fans. The A*POP World Tour runs through Europe and the UK to November 1, then moves to North America from November 12, including Toronto at Coca-Cola Coliseum on November 26, 2026, before closing in South Africa in January. A video premiered on stage in London on October 16, 2026 is a preview of the energy Toronto will get in person on November 26, with the same choreography driven performance style at the center of the show.
For Toronto, November 26, 2026 is the date to circle. Tyla brings the A*POP World Tour to Coca-Cola Coliseum as part of the North American leg, and THAT GIRL is now one of the defining songs of that set, with 2 official visuals, a sold out London premiere story and a dance troupe performance style built for a live room. Fans who watch the Moreno directed video now will recognize its moves, its neon callbacks and its lot takeover spirit when the tour reaches the city. From Brixton to Los Angeles to Toronto, THAT GIRL is traveling exactly the way a global pop record should.
