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.

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
