Barbie as the Princess and the Popstar (Or Barbie: the Princess and the Popstar) is a direct-to-DVD Barbie film that was released in fall 2012. It's the second Barbie adaptation of Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper, following Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper. In the Barbie filmography, it is preceded by Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2 and followed by Barbie in the Pink Shoes.Tori, princess of the kingdom of Meribella, dreams of becoming a popstar and leaving her restrictive lifestyle, while Keira, Tori's idol, has lost her love for songwriting due to her busy schedule. The two decide to switch lives and see if the grass truly is greener on the other side.

Damsel in Distress: The trope is referenced by William when he knocks out Cryder's assistant, believing he saved "damsels in distress" Tori and Keira. While it did help them, they weren't all that distressed to begin with.

comment
Formal Full Array of Cutlery: Keira, while impersonating Tori, is embarrassed when she does not know which spoon to choose to eat ice-cream. Fortunately, Tori's pet dog, of all people, shows Keira the proper one with her paw.note Probably a spoof of the trope. Keira clearly doesn't need the three forks, knife and three spoons she was given just to have tea and ice-cream. Plus, even the dog has several utensils to eat from her dish-with no hands.
