\n\tRene\u00e9 Rapp<\/a> is on a roll. After earning the biggest U.S. sales debut<\/a> in 2023 for a debut pop album by a female artist with Snow Angel<\/em>, the multi-hyphenate has translated that success to film with the box office-topping<\/a> Mean Girls<\/em> as she preps new music. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em> (Feb. 28), the \u201cTummy Hurts\u201d singer gushes over getting literal flowers from Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>, her special friendship with Megan Thee Stallion<\/a> and her dreams of making an R&B album.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tWatch Rene\u00e9 Rapp Bring Country Music to Paris With an Exhilarating Cover of Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tOn Feb. 13, just two days after Beyonc\u00e9 surprise-dropped<\/a> her new country songs \u201cTexas Hold \u2018Em\u201d and \u201c16 Carriages\u201d during the 2024 Super Bowl<\/a> \u2014 Rapp performed a cover of Queen Bey\u2019s first proper foray into country music: \u201cDaddy Lessons\u201d from 2016\u2019s Grammy-winning Lemonade<\/em>. Just four days later (Feb. 17), Rapp took to her Instagram page<\/a> to share a photo of herself with her hand over her mouth as she took in the gorgeous bouquet of flowers sent to her by none other than Beyonc\u00e9 herself.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve never been speechless in my life. It\u2019s literally going to make me cry,\u201d Rapp told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cShe is everything \u2014 and the reason that I know how to sing. I would sit down and listen to her different tonalities and phonics and phrasing styles and be like, \u2018Please, Jesus, let me be able to do this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyonc\u00e9 has been a fixture in Rapp\u2019s life long before she took the world by storm with Mean Girls<\/em>, The Sex Lives of College Girls<\/em> and her Snow Angel<\/em> LP. Back when she was trying to break into the industry, Rapp used to upload covers of Beyonc\u00e9 songs on YouTube. Queen Bey also provided a bit more than just musical inspiration for a young Rapp. \u201cI had body dysmorphia and feeling like I had too much of an a\u2013. If I felt badly about my body, my mother would make me sing \u2018Bootylicious,\u2019 and it was everything to me,\u201d Rapp recalled, referencing Destiny\u2019s Child<\/a>\u2018s 2001 Billboard Hot 100<\/a> No. 1 hit.<\/p>\n

\n\tRapp may have gotten flowers for her quick embrace of Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s country era<\/a> \u2014 \u201cLet\u2019s be clear, Beyonc\u00e9 doing country is the best thing that\u2019s ever happened to country music\u201d \u2014 but she\u2019s been taking inspiration from all of Queen Bey\u2019s era, especially her R&B ones. The \u201cPoison Poison\u201d singer notes Beyonc\u00e9, SZA<\/a>, Frank Ocean<\/a> and Jazmine Sullivan<\/a> as formative musical influences who \u201chave made the biggest impact in [her] life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI wanted so badly to do something that was slightly R&B-leaning, but in a way that wasn\u2019t making something my own that is not at all my own, and something that feels authentic,\u201d she explained to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cI would love to do a project like that, but it needs to be done well \u2026 because I think if a white girl does anything that slightly emulates R&B, it\u2019s praised 10 times more than when Black people do it \u2026 just because of the way the f\u2014king world works, and it\u2019s s\u2013ty in that regard. But yeah, it is something that I want to do so badly, and I will do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tRen\u00e9e Rapp Introduced by Rachel McAdams, Performs \u2018Mean Girls\u2019 Song With Megan Thee Stallion on\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tIn the interim, Rapp is still pursuing her pop-star dreams, which she recently funneled into \u201cNot My Fault,\u201d a Megan Thee Stallion collaboration that served as the lead single<\/a> for the Mean Girls<\/em> movie musical soundtrack. Gushing over having been a fan of the H-Town Hottie \u201csince she was doing music videos and mixtapes on the f\u2013king top of the parking garage, in that little tan top,\u201d Ren\u00e9e describes Megan as caring friend to whom she can open up about anxiety.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s comforting to talk to her too about having anxiety,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ll text her, I\u2019ll be like, \u2018I\u2019m petrified.\u2019 And she\u2019ll be like, \u2018It\u2019s cool, I\u2019m here. I\u2019m scared too, but look, I\u2019m going to be at the same thing. And so, at least we\u2019ll have each other.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRene\u00e9 Rapp has landed one title on the Billboard 200<\/a>; her debut LP, Snow Angel<\/em>, peaked at No. 44. \u201cNot My Fault\u201d has proven to be her most successful<\/a> single to date, peaking at No. 18 on Pop Airplay and at No. 2 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
