It’s no secret that Halle Bailey can sing anything flawlessly, and she proved it once again when she took to social media to put her spin on Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please.”

In the 45-second clip, the 24-year-old star is seen effortlessly belting the chorus while playing the guitar, adding her own vocal runs to some of the lyrics. “woke up with this song in my headdd i love itt,” she captioned the post.


Carpenter scored her first Hot 100 chart topping song with “Please Please Please,” which made its way to the top of the tally on the chart dated June 29, 2024. The pop star celebrated the news of the accomplishment on Instagram, posting a three-item carousel to her feed. The first photo is the graphic of the Hot 100, followed by a video of Carpenter performing the signature claps in “Please Please Please” with co-writer/producer Jack Antonoff and co-writer Amy Allen, plus engineer Laura Sisk off camera.

Rodrigo was included in last year’s documentary Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery – The Untold Story, which explored the legacy of the '90s all-women music fest founded by McLachlan. When planning her new festival, she says the first person she called was that iconic Canadian singer-songwriter.

Olivia Rodrigo's new Daisy Chain Fields festival takes place on August 29 in Irvine, California, and it has a Canadian inspiration: Sarah McLachlan and Lilith Fair.
