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.

Bailey, meanwhile, has also had an exciting year. In January, she announced the birth of her first child, a son named Halo whom she shares with rapper DDG. She shared a photo of his tiny hand on Instagram, writing, “Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.”

"Let's go!!!!" the country phenom cheered upon learning the news.

Shaboozey has a lot of reasons to dance on Friday (Nov. 8), with the 29-year-old breakout country star nabbing five nominations for the 2025 Grammys.

In addition to best new artist and best melodic rap performance for his “Spaghettii” duet with Beyoncé, Shaboozey’s smash hit single “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was recognized for best country solo performance, best country song and, last but not least, song of the year. When his name was announced in the latter category Friday, the initially nervous-looking singer — as captured by his guitarist Stephen Musselman and reposted by Shaboozey on Instagram Stories — let out a huge cheer and jumped up from his seat, bursting with joy.
