Renée Rapp Talks Snow Angel, Dream Collaborators and Internet Trends

Rapp, 23, didn’t start out as an internet star, but as she’s gotten more famous in the past few years—after making her Broadway debut in Mean Girls in 2019 and starring in Mindy Kaling’s Max comedy Sex Lives of College Girls two years later—her internet history is finally working to her benefit. And now, Rapp has harnessed her years of being chronically online to bolster the work that matters most to her: her budding music career, beginning with the release of her first full-length album, Snow Angel, on Aug. 18.

Her fans might know her from TV or Broadway, but Rapp has always wanted to be a pop star. She is a powerhouse vocalist with the confidence to back it up, as evidenced by her stint on Broadway as the glamorously devilish Regina George (a role she'll reprise in the upcoming movie version). As she grew a fan base through her acting career, she regularly connected with those fans through her savvy social media presence, giving her the kind of unfiltered relatability commonly associated with influencers.
