\n\tRene\u00e9 Rapp<\/a> is living out her childhood dreams, and no, that doesn\u2019t refer to climbing the charts with her debut album or starring in one of the biggest films of the year. In an Instagram post Tuesday (March 19), the Mean Girls <\/em>actress revealed that she recently got to visit the set of Sesame Street<\/em>, where she met one of her earliest icons: Elmo. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe 24-year-old singer-songwriter shared a video of her sitting with the little red muppet on the children\u2019s show\u2019s famous green stoop, cuddling him close as the two posed for a photo. \u201cmom I was literally on Sesame Street,\u201d she captioned the post.<\/p>\n

\n\tRapp also included a photo of her as a baby, rocking a pair of adorable socks with Elmo\u2019s face sewn onto the toes. \u201cMy dad had to repair the bottoms of those slippers 3 times because I insisted on wearing them out of the house as a kid,\u201d she wrote of the snap on her Instagram Story. \u201clet\u2019s get it clear I will always f\u2013king ride for elmo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cNot My Fault\u201d singer\u2019s reps also confirmed to Billboard<\/em> that Rapp will be appearing on an episode of Sesame Street<\/em> season 55, which is set to premiere in the fall.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Broadway star\u2019s post comes just days after she won the outstanding music artist category at this year\u2019s GLAAD Awards<\/a>, where she was recognized for her November debut record Snow Angel. <\/em>The 12-track set peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard 200<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tRapp is also fresh off the premiere of Tina Fey\u2019s revamped Mean Girls<\/em> film, the live action version of the Mean Girls <\/em>musical, which itself was inspired by the original 2004 movie of the same name. In the flick, she played Regina George opposite Angourie Rice, Chris Briney, Avantika and Bebe Wood.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cNot My Fault\u201d singer, who made her Saturday Night Live <\/em>debut as musical guest<\/a> in January, has spent much of 2024 so far on the road. She had to postpone<\/a> a couple of shows earlier this month due to illness, but not before she was recognized by Beyonc\u00e9 for covering \u201cDaddy Lessons\u201d at one of her prior concerts.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter sharing a photo of a bouquet of flowers sent to her by Queen Bey after the performance, Rapp told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> <\/em>that the superstar is \u201cthe reason that I know how to sing.\u201d<\/p>\n
