In How Not to Date a Pop Star, we follow the journey of Aaliyah Preston and Tyler Moore, childhood best friends whose lives take a dramatic turn when they enter a TV talent show.

This pivotal moment sets the stage for their diverging paths, with Tyler becoming a global pop sensation while Aaliyah pursues her dream of dancing at the Boston Conservatory. The separation creates a rift that leaves Aaliyah feeling abandoned and Tyler grappling with the pressures of fame.

Years later, Tyler returns to their small seaside town, hoping to reconnect with Aaliyah and mend the years of lost friendship. As Aaliyah prepares for her future, Tyler's unexpected homecoming complicates her plans. He yearns for a normal life, but their reunion brings forth buried family secrets and challenges that threaten their aspirations.
