Lea Michele’s Rachel Berry Revival: Epic Medley of Ariana, Billie & Chappell Roan Hits

Hang onto your latte—Lea Michele just turned TikTok into a vocal rollercoaster by channeling her “Glee” alter ego, Rachel Berry, belting out a lightning-fast medley of chart-toppers from Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and more! Picture this: the Broadway queen in a cozy living room, espresso in hand (I’m assuming), lip-syncing “thank u, next” before seamlessly sliding into the haunting bassline of Billie’s “bad guy.” Then, out of nowhere, she pops out Chappell Roan’s latest bop with the same fierce emoji-fueled energy she used to throw shade at Kurt on a full choir stage. I have SO many thoughts, but first—can someone please confirm if that’s Rachel Berry’s war-bly vibrato or actual modern-pop sass? (TikTok officially dropped this gem on April 12, and yes, millions of fans are spiraling—People.com and TikTok videos both confirm the viral takeover.)

Lea’s medley marathon doesn’t stop there. She peppers in a quick nod to Olivia Rodrigo’s heartbreak anthems (cue the dramatic finger snaps) and even sneaks in a cheeky Miley Cyrus line—total curveball! It’s like she time-warped from 2009 to 2024 in five minutes flat. And let me tell you, the internet lost its collective mind. Comments flooded in from nostalgic Gleeks who swore they could smell Ms. Berry’s trademark flowered headband. Meanwhile, newer fans were like, “Who is this powerhouse?” (Spoiler alert: that’s Lea—Tony Award nominee, Broadway star, and cappuccino-powered queen of reinvention.)

Of course, this spectacle was backed by receipts: People Magazine’s exclusive clip posted the full 60-second serenade, and TikTok’s official account gave it the honor of trending under #RachelBerryReborn. Even Billboard chimed in, noting how flawlessly Lea blends her signature big-belt moments with whisper-to-yell pop sensibilities. I’m practically bouncing off the walls just thinking about how she nails every key change without breaking a sweat (and trust me, I’ve been doing sprint Zoom calls on two espresso shots).

But here’s the real kicker: this isn’t a one-off nostalgia trip. Insiders hint at more surprise TikTok medleys (maybe some Lady Gaga? Imagine!). Will she drop an acoustic Ellie Goulding cover next? Only time will tell, but I’m already setting calendar alerts. Honestly, I swear I could talk about this all day—I need more pop reinventions, more headbands, more caffeinated chaos! Whew! My coffee’s gone cold, but my excitement is still brewing. I swear, I could talk about this all day.
