It looks like Rachel Zegler is trying to shift her career and lean toward her musical roots. After Disney’s highly anticipated $270M Snow White stumbled at the box office, and backlash followed the actress, Zegler appeared to be switching gears and going back to what she does best: singing her heart out.
Sharing the spotlight with Broadway royalties like Jonathan Groff and Ben Platt, Rachel Zegler did a cover of Who I’d Be from Shrek the Musical. It looks like Zegler is perhaps taking the controversial internet figure, Andrew Tate’s advice a little too seriously—after he suggested that the actress should rather stick to singing.
Rachel Zegler returned to her musical roots amid Snow White’s downfall
After Disney’s Snow White remake fell flat at the box office, with critics slamming Rachel Zegler for her seemingly woke comments and political remarks, the actress appeared to be stepping back into the world of music. According to DailyMail, Zegler began working on a new single—a cover of Who I’d Be from Shrek the Musical.
While she previously refused to sing its signature ballad Someday My Prince Will Come in the Snow White remake, Rachel Zegler recently lent her enchanting vocals to MCC Theater’s Studio Sessions album. Sharing the stage with musical theatre heavyweights like Jonathan Groff and Ben Platt, Zegler tapped into her musical skills.
Meanwhile, Rachel Zegler’s collaborator Ben Platt‘s elder brother Jonah Platt previously slammed the actress for the underperformance of Snow White, which is produced by Platt’s father, Marc Platt. Branding Zegler as “immature” and “narcissistic” in a now-deleted Instagram post, Jonah Platt noted how her comments had an adverse effect on the movie.
Andrew Tate praised Rachel Zegler’s musical talent over her performance
Now, in a surprising twist, controversial internet personality Andrew Tate entered the chat. You might ask how? Well, previously, Tate, who is known for his divisive opinions, had unexpectedly praised Rachel Zegler’s vocal abilities while watching Snow White in theaters. Although he slammed the actress’ performance, Tate appreciated her musical talent (via X).
While Andrew Tate‘s remarks sparked conversations online, it seems Rachel Zegler might be following his unconventional advice. Following the unfortunate condition of her 2025 movie, Zegler’s decision to return to her musical roots seemed like a brilliant career move. After all, that’s what turned her into a Golden Globe-winning star in West Side Story.
Additionally, ahead of his praise for Rachel Zegler’s musical talent, Andrew Tate had dropped a two-word reaction for Snow White on his official X account. Calling the movie “Snow Sh*te”, Tate even made a bold claim that he would watch the film if his post garnered “5000 retweets”. Sadly, his post surpassed his expectations and Tate was forced to live up to his words.
Snow White is currently running in theaters worldwide.
