Three years after winning the Pitch Perfect, the Barden Bellas are now led by senior Beca Mitchell and three-time super senior Chloe Beale. The Bellas have become International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella champions each of these three years. However, the group becomes involved in a national scandal (dubbed "Muffgate") when Patricia "Fat Amy" Hobart accidentally rips her pants in front of President of the United States Barack Obama during a performance on his birthday at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, showing her genitalia to the public as she going commando. This scandal leads to the Bellas' suspension from the ICCAs. Beca makes a deal to allow the Bellas to be reinstated should they win the World Championship of a cappella.
