Netflix’s ‘The Royals’ Is The ‘Bridgerton’ Drama For Indian People – They’re So Hot It’s Offensive

0

If your summer streaming lineup is in need of a refresh, Netflix’s The Royals is here to serve grandeur, glam, and an irresistibly attractive cast wrapped in a rich, romantic drama. With its palace intrigue, class-clashing romance, and a healthy dose of eye candy, the new Indian series is already making waves—and making us swoon.

Set in the fictional city of Morpur, India, The Royals tells the story of Aviraaj Singh, a dashing modern-day prince with a crumbling family estate, and Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, a powerful and stylish CEO with a razor-sharp mind and an eye for business. When Aviraaj’s once-grand palace faces financial ruin, Sophia swoops in with a bold idea: transform the aging royal residence into a five-star bed-and-breakfast. What starts as a business deal quickly turns into something more, and let’s just say—neither the decor nor the sexual tension is subtle.

A Royal Plot With a Modern Twist

Created by Four More Shots Please! duo Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, and directed by The Night Manager’s Priyanka Ghose and Hip Hip Hurray’s Nupur Asthana, The Royals mixes Bollywood charm with bingeable drama. Screenwriter Neha Veena Sharma (Ziddi Girls) ensures that the dialogue sparkles with tension, flirtation, and cultural nuance, as class differences and personal pride clash with a romance neither Aviraaj nor Sophia saw coming.

Think Bridgerton meets Succession—but with way better weather and a lot more color. And with every episode, the stakes climb as the bed-and-breakfast project brings the pair closer together—and closer to everything they’ve been running from.

The Cast Is Scorching—And We’re Not Just Talking Chemistry

Let’s talk about the heat. Leading man Ishaan Khatter (The Perfect Couple) as Aviraaj Singh is all brooding charm, sharp cheekbones, and aristocratic swagger. Whether he’s riding horseback across a beach or striding through palace grounds in a tailored sherwani, he delivers peak prince fantasy.

Opposite him, Bhumi Pednekar (Badhaai Do) shines as Sophia, a self-made woman who rocks a power suit just as effortlessly as she commands a room. She’s equal parts elegance and steel, and watching her challenge Aviraaj’s outdated ideas of royalty is as satisfying as watching them flirt over business plans.

The ensemble cast is just as star-studded—and just as hot. Screen icons like Zeenat Aman (Panipat) and Milind Soman (Emergency) bring gravitas and nostalgia, while rising stars like Vihaan Samat (CTRL) and Kavya Trehan (Hush Hush) keep things fresh and energetic. Nora Fatehi (Bharat), Dino Morea (The Empire), and Chunky Panday (Liger) also appear, making the palace feel less like a crumbling relic and more like the VIP section of fashion week.

There’s also a delightful cameo from singer Lisa Mishra (Call Me Bae), and Udit Arora (Crash Course) as Kunal Mehta—bringing comic relief and a healthy dose of chaos to the mix. If you’re looking for a new fictional crush, trust: this show delivers options.

Style, Setting, and Swoon-Worthy Vibes

The fictional setting of Morpur is a character in itself, showcasing lavish interiors, sunlit courtyards, and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. It’s the kind of place where drama feels inevitable—and every room looks like it belongs on a luxury wedding mood board. Costume design leans into both tradition and modernity, offering plenty of fashion inspo whether you prefer embroidered silks or minimalist power dressing.

And then there’s the soundtrack—lush, cinematic, and perfectly matched to every flirtation, fight, and emotional breakthrough. From upbeat fusion tracks to aching ballads, the music only deepens the emotional pull of each episode.

As the royal heir and the self-made CEO transform the estate into a luxury bed-and-breakfast, their contentious relationship takes a turn toward romance.

Why The Royals Belongs on Your Watchlist

More than just a love story, The Royals is a narrative about legacy, reinvention, and breaking down barriers—both personal and societal. It’s about building something new without forgetting where you came from. For LGBTQ+ audiences, the themes of identity, self-determination, and found family will resonate, even as the romance plays out between a straight couple.

It’s also refreshing to see a female character like Sophia lead the charge: unapologetically ambitious, complex, and never sidelined by her love interest. Her success isn’t framed as a problem—it’s the reason she’s on this journey in the first place. Add in Aviraaj’s slow transformation from stubborn royal to thoughtful partner, and the result is a romance that actually feels earned.

Stream It Now

The Royals is now streaming on Netflix, and trust us—you’ll want to binge it all in one go. Whether you’re in it for the steamy chemistry, the royal glow-up, or just to watch Ishaan Khatter in riding boots (no judgment), this is the kind of escapist drama we need more of.

So pour a glass of wine, grab your favorite silk robe, and settle in. The crown jewels have arrived—and they’re hotter than ever.

Get ready for wigs, rhinestones, and a whole lot of heart. Emmy-winning media company World of Wonder is rolling out the pink carpet for a special benefit screening of its new documentary The Little Pageant That Could—and it’s all for a good cause.

The event, held Wednesday, May 21, at the Los Angeles LGBT Center, will support APLA Health’s Alliance for Housing and Healing, which provides critical services for people living with HIV/AIDS. The screening comes ahead of the documentary’s global premiere on WOW Presents Plus on May 29.

A Night of Glitz and Giving

The exclusive, invite-only screening is hosted in partnership with APLA Health and features an all-star host committee that reads like a who’s who of Hollywood and drag royalty. Among those lending their names to the cause: Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (World of Wonder co-founders), Sasha Colby, Margaret Cho, Judy Greer, Cheyenne Jackson, Michelle Visage, Ross Mathews, Carson Kressley, and Vanessa Williams—just to name a few.

MC duties will be handled by the ever-fabulous Salina Estitties, with live performances, raffle prizes, donation opportunities, and the chance to throw cash tips on stage in true drag pageant tradition.

All proceeds benefit the Alliance for Housing and Healing, which has received more than $6 million from the Best in Drag Show over the decades. Funds help support emergency housing, rental assistance, and long-term housing for people living with HIV/AIDS.

From Apartment Spoof to Cultural Staple

The Little Pageant That Could tells the larger-than-life origin story of the Best in Drag Show, which began in 1990 as a tongue-in-cheek parody of Miss America staged in a cramped West Hollywood apartment. What started as a joke among friends has grown into L.A.’s longest-running drag benefit, attracting celebrity judges, sold-out crowds, and serious fundraising power.

Directed by John Carlos Frey—who also served as the original stage show’s director—the film features never-before-seen footage and laugh-out-loud moments spanning the show’s 33-year history. Expect appearances from a star-studded cast of past guests, including Jennifer Coolidge, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Anna Faris, Martin Sheen, and fashion icon Bob Mackie.

Coming to WOW Presents Plus May 29

Following the benefit event, The Little Pageant That Could will premiere globally on WOW Presents Plus, joining a lineup of critically acclaimed documentaries like The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Party Monster, and Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures.

The platform has been expanding its library of original and acquired content in 2024, with notable additions like the Elvira Collection, the comedy duo specials Happily Ever Laughter and No Refunds from creators Darcy and Jer, and the upcoming scripted series I Hate People, People Hate Me.

Executive produced by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, and produced by David Neuendorff, James Cude, and Frey himself, the documentary is the latest testament to World of Wonder’s legacy of blending entertainment with activism, storytelling with sparkle.

Matt Rogers Opens Up Producing ‘Las Cultaristas’ with Bowen Yang Amidst Busy Schedules: ‘It’s Hard, But We Both Love Doing It’

Comedians and close friends Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang navigate their burgeoning careers while maintaining their beloved podcast, “Las Culturistas,” finding a rhythm amidst their demanding schedules. In a recent interview with Gayety at the opening of The Tryst Hotel in PV, the ‘No Good Deed’ star offered insights into their collaborative dynamic and the enduring joy they find in their joint project.

Rogers, fresh off appearances at Coachella, a trip to Orlando for an early look at Epic Universe, and various other engagements, acknowledged the challenges of juggling multiple commitments. When asked how he and Yang manage to consistently produce “Las Culturistas,” Rogers emphasized their shared passion for the podcast.

“You know what? It’s hard, but we both love doing it,” Rogers stated. “The thing about ‘Las Cultaristas’ is, it’s really not that tough because we both really enjoy doing it. So, we find time. I mean, if we have to backlog a little bit and record in advance, we do that. But ‘Las Culturasas’ is still the joy of our life, and I think the fact that it feels like a new podcast lately is really cool. I mean, ever since Lady Gaga came on, it feels like it has this second wind.”

The recent high-profile guest appearance of Lady Gaga seems to have injected a renewed energy into the podcast, further solidifying its popularity.

Reflecting on the often surreal experience of interviewing his idols on the podcast, Rogers admitted that he is becoming more accustomed to it. “You know what? It’s gotten a little bit easier lately because I’m constantly blown away by who we have. So, I feel like a little bit, not desensitized, but more used to someone sitting in front of me that is one of my idols.”

He then shared his excitement about another guest, comedy legend Amy Poehler. “Amy Poehler is on the podcast this week, and she’s my comedy hero and total living legend. And now we’ve had Amy and Tina, so maybe now next we got to have them both on together. Matt, Bowen, Amy and Tina. That could be fun.” This enthusiasm underscores the genuine appreciation Rogers and Yang have for their guests and the platform their podcast provides.

Rogers also recounted a recent experience visiting Universal Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe theme park with Yang. Describing the experience with characteristic humor, Rogers said, “So, I was lucky enough to go down to Orlando, Florida to check out Epic Universe a little bit early before it opens next month, and it’s a full gag. Me and Bowen were riding all the roller coasters and… It was really great.”

He jokingly elaborated on the less glamorous aspects of their theme park adventure, particularly after the high energy of Coachella. “So honestly, riding a bunch of roller coasters after you do two weekends at Coachella, not advised. Possible, but not advised.” When asked if he felt ill, Rogers quipped, “I didn’t throw up, but it didn’t mean I didn’t want to throw up.” He humorously detailed the filming process for promotional material, enduring multiple takes on roller coasters despite feeling unwell. “They brought us down there to film us riding the roller coasters on a GoPro, and they did it once and I was like, ‘Cool, great. Can we get off?’ They were like, ‘Oh, we need to do it again to make sure we got the shot.’ I was like, ‘I can do it one more time and then it’s over.'”

Despite the logistical challenges of coordinating their schedules, their commitment to the podcast and their palpable camaraderie continue to resonate with their dedicated listenership, solidifying “Las Culturistas” as a beloved fixture in the podcast landscape.

Anna Camp Confirms Romance with Stylist Jade Whipkey

Finding Love in New Places

Pitch Perfect star Anna Camp has officially confirmed she’s dating stylist Jade Whipkey, and she’s loving every minute of it. Camp, known for her role as the bubbly and bossy Aubrey Posen in the Pitch Perfect series, shared glimpses of her relationship on Instagram, where Whipkey posted a sweet candlelit dinner shot. Her caption was pure poetry, praising Camp’s smile, eyes, and laugh. The pair’s chemistry was undeniable, and fans were quick to celebrate the actress’s new romance.

Social Media Sparks Romance Rumors

Rumors started swirling back in February when the two began sharing TikTok videos together. In one clip, Camp hinted at her happiness dating a woman, while Whipkey chimed in with a comment that seemed to confirm their relationship. This is Camp’s first public relationship with a woman, and the actress is embracing it fully. “It’s great,” she recently said, adding that she’s never been happier.

Moving Forward with Love

Camp’s love life has been a journey. She was previously married to actor Michael Mosley and later to Pitch Perfect co-star Skylar Astin, with whom she finalized her divorce in 2019. Since then, she’s been vocal about embracing new chapters and feeling more connected with herself than ever before.

Her career is thriving too. Camp is currently starring in the hit series You and is set to reunite with Rebel Wilson in the upcoming comedy Bride Hard, releasing this June. She will also join Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Isabel May and Joel McHale in the upcoming slasher Scream 7. It seems love and success are both on the horizon for this Broadway alum turned Hollywood star.

Meet Jade Whipkey

Jade Whipkey is a multifaceted creative professional based in Los Angeles, known for her work in styling and art direction.

She has contributed to various projects, including serving as an assistant stylist on Keke Palmer’s 2023 “Black Owned Friday” campaign and styling singer Destiny Rogers for a New York City gala performance.

Cynthia Erivo to Star in Bold One-Woman Dracula Adaptation on West End

A Gothic Classic Reimagined

Cynthia Erivo is set to sink her teeth into a new challenge as she takes on 23 characters in a solo adaptation of Dracula for London’s West End. Directed and adapted by Kip Williams, best known for his “cine-theatre” approach in The Picture of Dorian Gray, this one-woman show promises to blend live performance with pre-recorded video, offering a fresh, modern twist on Bram Stoker’s gothic masterpiece.

The production will debut at the Noël Coward Theatre on February 4, 2026, and will run for a limited 16-week engagement through May 31, 2026. Williams’ adaptation explores fear, desire, and the monster lurking within us all, with Erivo playing every role—from the infamous Count Dracula to Jonathan Harker, Mina Murray, and even Professor Van Helsing. If there’s anyone who can pull off 23 personalities and still leave the audience begging for more, it’s Erivo.

Erivo’s Grand Return to the Stage

This marks Erivo’s first major return to the stage since her Tony-winning performance in The Color Purple. Reflecting on the role, she described the opportunity as a “rare gift,” acknowledging the challenge and excitement of embodying so many characters.

“Returning to the stage feels like a homecoming, one that I’ve been craving for a long time. To do so with a story as rich, complex, and haunting as Dracula offers a beautiful opportunity to delve into character, into myth, and into the heart of what makes us human,” Erivo said in a statement.

“From the moment I was asked, I could not get the role out of my mind. Kip’s vision is thrilling, terrifying, and deeply resonant, offering a chance to sit with not only the darkness in the world, but also the light we fight to hold onto.

“It’s a rare gift for an actor to inhabit so many voices and perspectives in one piece, and I’m honoured to do it for West End audiences in this extraordinary production. The prospect of doing this show scares me and I know it will be a huge challenge. This show will ask everything of me — and I’m ready to give it.”

A Singular Theatrical Experience

The Dracula adaptation also features an original song composed by Clemence Williams, adding a haunting musical element to the show. The creative team includes several collaborators from Dorian Gray, promising a seamless blend of innovative visuals and gripping storytelling.

Tickets for Dracula are expected to go on sale later this year. With Erivo’s magnetic presence and Williams’ visionary direction, this is set to be one of the most talked-about theatrical events of 2026.

Mark your calendars now—this is one bite you won’t want to miss.

Jude Law and Andrew Garfield to Star as Siegfried and Roy in Apple TV+ Series ‘Wild Things’

0

Magic, tigers, Vegas, and a dose of drama—Jude Law and Andrew Garfield are stepping into the spotlight (and the sparkle) as Siegfried and Roy in a new Apple TV+ limited series titled Wild Things.

The upcoming show will chronicle the legendary rise—and dramatic fall—of one of Las Vegas’ most iconic acts. Law will portray Siegfried Fischbacher, while Garfield takes on Roy Horn, his lifelong performing partner. Based on the Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy podcast, the eight-episode series promises to deliver a whirlwind tale of illusion, ambition, and danger.

Behind the Curtain: The Story of Siegfried & Roy

Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn weren’t just magicians—they were a phenomenon. Known for blending exotic animals, big-budget illusions, and high-camp flair, the German-born duo transformed the Las Vegas entertainment landscape beginning in the 1970s.

They met aboard the luxury cruise ship TS Bremen, where Siegfried was performing as a magician and Roy was working as a waiter. According to Roy, their bond began when he smuggled a live cheetah aboard the ship and asked Siegfried, “If you can make a rabbit disappear, how about a cheetah?” The rest, as they say, was showbiz history.

From European cabarets to Monte Carlo royalty, the pair’s act eventually landed in Las Vegas, where they became the faces of The Mirage in a $57 million deal—complete with their own 5,000-seat theater.

Tragedy on the Stage

On October 3, 2003, during a live performance, tragedy struck when Roy was attacked by a white tiger named Montecore. The incident resulted in a severe neck injury and stroke that ended their stage careers. Remarkably, Horn defended the tiger afterward, claiming Montecore was trying to protect him, not harm him.

Though they briefly reunited for a single performance in 2009, the attack marked the end of an era.

A Complex Legacy

The new series promises to explore the full spectrum of Siegfried and Roy’s lives—not just the illusions, but also their personal relationship. Though they were romantically involved during the earlier years of their careers, the pair remained close professional partners even after separating.

They ultimately confirmed their relationship publicly in 2007, gracing the cover of the National Enquirer with the headline, “We’re Gay!”

Farewell to the Tiger Kings

Roy Horn passed away in 2020 due to complications from COVID-19 at age 75. Fischbacher died just months later in 2021 from pancreatic cancer at age 81.

“From the moment we met, I knew Roy and I, together, would change the world,” Fischbacher said in a statement after Horn’s death. “There could be no Siegfried without Roy, and no Roy without Siegfried.”

With Law and Garfield stepping into their glittery shoes, Wild Things aims to bring that iconic—and often misunderstood—story back to life for a new generation.

Gus Kenworthy Announces Olympic Comeback: ‘It’s This or Nothing’

0

Olympic silver medalist Gus Kenworthy is snapping on his skis once again.

The 33-year-old freestyle skier, actor, and LGBTQ+ icon announced he is coming out of retirement with his sights set on the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. In an interview with ESPN, Kenworthy said he has already resumed training and is feeling more motivated than ever to make a comeback.

A Second Wind for the Slopestyle Star

“After taking a step away, I realized I miss skiing, and I really want to compete again,” Kenworthy said. “I didn’t know if I would be able to come back after three and a half years, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to after seven and a half. So it’s this Olympics or nothing.”

Kenworthy, who last competed in 2022, had previously announced his retirement following a crash in the men’s final. At the time, he called it his “final hurrah” and told Olympics.com, “I’m done competing. I’ve had a career that I’m really, really proud of.”

But time away from the slopes made one thing clear: the Olympic flame in him hadn’t gone out just yet.

Setbacks, Then a Reset

While Kenworthy had previously considered a comeback, a series of setbacks—including two major concussions and a bout with COVID-19—forced him into recovery and reflection. During that period, he admits, he faced something of an identity crisis.

Now, with renewed perspective, Kenworthy is returning for the right reasons.

“I don’t feel like I’m going back into it because I don’t know who I am otherwise,” he said. “I’m going back into it because I can still do it, and because I want to.”

Back to His Roots—But with British Flair

Though originally representing Team USA—where he won a silver medal in slopestyle at Sochi 2014—Kenworthy will once again compete for Great Britain, his birth nation. He moved to Colorado at age two but maintains dual citizenship and previously made the switch to represent Team GB at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

As one of the first openly gay male athletes to compete at the Olympic level, Kenworthy’s return is not only an athletic comeback but also a cultural moment for fans around the world who have followed his journey on and off the slopes.

Kim Kardashian, Glenn Close and Niecy Nash-Betts Take the Lead in Ryan Murphy’s ‘All’s Fair,’ a Glamorous, Queer-Friendly Legal Drama

0

Get ready for power suits, courtroom drama, and unapologetic female energy—All’s Fair, the latest series from producer Ryan Murphy, is bringing high-octane legal heat to Hulu this fall. The teaser for the upcoming drama dropped this week, giving viewers their first look at what may be one of the most talked-about shows of the year. And at the center of it all? An all-female law firm led by Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, and Niecy Nash-Betts.

With queer icons, a strong feminist core, and a healthy dose of Murphy’s signature camp, All’s Fair is poised to be essential viewing—especially for LGBTQ+ audiences who’ve long looked to Murphy’s work for complex female characters, inclusive storylines, and over-the-top glamour.

“Not Diamonds—Her Lawyers”: Flipping the Script on Female Empowerment

The teaser kicks off with Kardashian, Nash-Betts, and Watts seated at a glossy conference table across from an emotional client. “Deep breath, tell us your story,” says Kardashian in a calm, measured tone. The client, already tearing up, apologizes. Watts promptly interrupts: “We don’t meet with ‘sorry’ people.”

It’s a statement that defines the ethos of the show—these women are here to change the rules. As Judith Light’s voiceover declares, “You know what a girl’s best friend is? Not diamonds—her lawyers.”

With glitzy shots of private jets, designer heels, and Kardashian cruising around Los Angeles in a Bentley, All’s Fair is clearly embracing the opulence that Murphy fans have come to expect. But beneath the glimmer, the story tackles darker truths: gender imbalance in the legal field, abuse of power, and the emotional labor women perform both inside and outside the courtroom.

A Legal Drama with Queer Heart

According to Hulu’s official synopsis, All’s Fair follows a group of elite female attorneys who leave a male-dominated firm to start their own powerhouse practice. The series centers on “fierce, brilliant, and emotionally complicated” women as they navigate “high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets, and shifting allegiances—both in the courtroom and within their own ranks.”

For queer viewers, Murphy’s involvement is more than just a creative stamp—it’s a promise of LGBTQ+ visibility. Murphy has a well-documented history of centering queer stories and casting queer talent. All’s Fair appears to continue that legacy, featuring emotionally complex women, coded queer relationships, and themes of identity, resilience, and chosen family.

Star Power: Kim Kardashian Steps Further Into the Spotlight

Kim Kardashian’s presence as both lead actress and executive producer—alongside her mother, Kris Jenner—might raise eyebrows for some, but in this series, she’s more than just a fashion-forward figurehead. Kardashian has made headlines for her ongoing work in criminal justice reform and legal studies, making her casting as a high-powered divorce attorney feel surprisingly authentic.

In the teaser, Kardashian delivers more than just sleek visuals. Her character is caught injecting herself with an unknown substance in a bathroom stall, adding a layer of mystery to her seemingly pristine exterior. In another clip, she shares a passionate kiss with Matthew Noszka, offering a touch of steamy romance amid the legal intrigue.

Drama, Secrets, and Unexpected Moments

The teaser also features Jessica Simpson in a delightfully chaotic cameo, where she hurls a drink in a man’s face—because of course she does. Glenn Close has what appears to be an emotional breakdown, Sarah Paulson sips bitter coffee while delivering a cutting monologue, and Naomi Watts gets intimate with someone on her office desk.

In true Murphy fashion, All’s Fair blends soapy drama with sharp commentary. “We are not the only ones to suffer abuse. Plenty of women inflict it, don’t they?” Paulson’s character observes near the end of the teaser, teasing the show’s more morally ambiguous themes.

Queer Icons and Creative Royalty Behind the Scenes

The cast is a dream team of queer fan favorites: Nash-Betts (a vocal LGBTQ+ ally), Glenn Close (a longtime supporter of LGBTQ+ rights), and Sarah Paulson (openly queer and frequently cast in Murphy’s universe) all bring gravitas and representation to the project. Teyana Taylor, a queer music and fashion icon, also stars in the series.

Behind the scenes, Kardashian, Watts, Nash-Betts, Paulson, and Close serve as executive producers alongside Murphy and Jenner—further ensuring that women’s voices are leading this project both in front of and behind the camera.

Why All’s Fair Matters to LGBTQ+ Audiences

Murphy has long provided a platform for queer and marginalized voices, and All’s Fair looks to continue that legacy. Though not explicitly labeled as a queer series, the show’s DNA is deeply infused with queer culture: strong women, emotional complexity, chosen families, power struggles, and fabulous fashion.

Moreover, the concept of women breaking away from patriarchal systems to tell their own stories resonates with queer audiences who understand the importance of carving out safe, affirming spaces.

The casting of LGBTQ+ actors and allies only strengthens its appeal, making All’s Fair a must-watch this fall for anyone who appreciates stories that are as fierce as they are fabulous.

When and Where to Watch All’s Fair

All’s Fair premieres this fall exclusively on Hulu. With its A-list cast, glamorous aesthetic, and a plot that promises scandal, power plays, and emotional depth, the series is already generating buzz as one of 2025’s most anticipated shows.

Whether you’re tuning in for Kardashian’s acting evolution, Murphy’s signature storytelling, or the undeniable chemistry among its powerhouse cast, All’s Fair is one courtroom drama that’s bound to slay.

Lea Michele Imagines Rachel Berry in 2025 And ‘Glee’ Fans Have Opinions

0

Lea Michele is putting her own Glee-ful spin on the future.

The Funny Girl star and Glee alum is currently dazzling audiences across the country on her Straight from Carnegie Hall Tour. Alongside Broadway hits, solo originals, and fan-favorite show tunes, Michele is treating fans to a quirky and nostalgic segment: imagining what songs her Glee character Rachel Berry would perform in 2025.

And naturally, the internet has plenty to say about it.

Pop Covers, Broadway Belts, and Berry Vibes

During a performance on Thursday, May 8, in Orlando, Florida, Michele pulled out all the stops. As part of the Rachel Berry “2025 set,” she belted out a lineup of modern pop hits with full theatrical flair. Songs included Miley Cyrus’ empowering anthem “Flowers,” Ariana Grande’s emotional “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love),” and not one, but two Olivia Rodrigo hits: “Vampire” and “Drivers License.”

She also tackled Billie Eilish’s haunting ballad “What Was I Made For?”—a performance that had fans leaning in closer, tissues in hand.

But it was her cover of Chappell Roan’s campy, cult-favorite track “Pink Pony Club” that really got Gleeks talking.

RACHEL BERRY SINGING PINK PONY CLUB IN 2025!!!! — Orlando May 8th @leamichele #leamichele #glee #gleecast #rachelberry #leamichelelive #broadway // @ryan benjamin

♬ original sound – Christopher Joseph

A Pink Debate in the Comment Section

Michele delivered the performance in full Rachel Berry fashion, complete with power notes, dramatic pauses, and signature vocal slides. However, fans on social media quickly chimed in with a bold take: “Pink Pony Club” might be better suited for Kurt Hummel, played by Michele’s former co-star Chris Colfer.

“That would 100% be a Kurt song!!!” one user wrote. Another chimed in, “Sorry, this is for Kurt.”

“I want Chris Colfer to sing it in the OG key ‘cause I know he can,” another fan commented, while one added, “I can only hear Kurt singing this.”

Kurt vs. Rachel: The Duet That Could’ve Been

Some fans didn’t want to choose sides. Instead, they envisioned a “Glee”-style duet featuring Rachel and Kurt, reminiscent of the show’s iconic “Defying Gravity” showdown.

“Rachel and Kurt would have ate down on this in Glee,” one comment read. Another echoed the sentiment: “We need Kurt and Rachel to do a sing-off to this like the Wicked one.”

Glee Nostalgia Meets Pop Fantasy

While Michele’s tour is clearly a celebration of her solo artistry, it’s also a heartfelt wink to her Glee roots—one that’s resonating with longtime fans. Whether you think “Pink Pony Club” belongs to Rachel, Kurt, or both, one thing’s for sure: the Glee spirit is alive and well in 2025—and still sparking debates online.

Stay tuned. Knowing this fandom, the next duet fantasy might already be in the works
