Rachel Zegler Stuns On Stage In A Sparkling Glitter Bra

Her version of “Rainbow High” from “Evita” has proved so popular that it was released on Friday, September 5. A clip promoting the single featured the singer singing her heart into a microphone, wearing a glittering white bra and matching shorts. Elsewhere in the show, she can be seen wearing a black bra and matching black shorts after a scene change.

The clip seemed to confuse some users, including one user who asked, “I thought she was an actress?” One user replied, “She’s a really good singer. She has covered several Taylor songs. She’s good,” most likely referring to “Love Story” singer Taylor Swift. Another fan shared, “There are multiple singers who are actresses and vice versa.”

Facing Backlash On Social Media

Although there were plenty of positive comments online, there were also a lot of negative ones. “God, that’s bad!” one user exclaimed while another follower called her “overrated.” Another netizen said, “We don’t need it,” while another user said that she “botched” the song.

Fortunately, there were a lot more positive comments than negative ones. “Rainbow High sounds so good! Great performance!” one fan wrote next to a prayer-hands emoji, while another follower wrote, “Zegler’s ‘Rainbow High’ snippet sounds electric! Can’t wait for Friday!”

‘Carrying Pop Culture’

One user opined that she was “carrying the whole pop culture on her back,” because “every week she’s on the news for something new.” It’s not hard to see why Rachel wants her powerhouse vocals to speak for themselves after coming off a career flop from Disney’s live-action “Snow White.”

There were rumors that she and her co-star, Gal Gadot, who played the Evil Queen, did not get along on set due to their political differences. However, the social media sensation seems to be taking things in stride, as she appeared unbothered walking hand-in-hand with her boyfriend, Nathan Louis-Fernard, in London in early August.
