Anne Hathaway just said, “Hold my tiara,” and reprised her Ella Enchanted performance of Queen’s “Somebody to Love” – except now it’s 2024, and she did it live for a Kamala Harris fundraiser. Yes, friends, our favorite Genovian princess is not just finding somebody to love – she’s out here finding somebody to vote for!
The Oscar-winning actress shook things up at the Broadway For Harris event on Monday night (October 14) in New York City. Picture this: Hathaway on stage, radiating her usual main-character energy, alongside Broadway royalty like Audra McDonald, Billy Porter, and Kristin Chenoweth. Honestly, the level of talent in that room could’ve resurrected the entire Tony Awards ceremony right then and there.
Between hitting those high notes and helping raise funds, Anne reminded everyone that even though it’s been 20 years since Ella Enchanted, she’s still got the pipes and the charm. And listen – this isn’t the only nostalgia she’s stirring up lately. Our girl confirmed she’s coming back as Mia Thermopolis for Princess Diaries 3 (yes, Genovia shall rise again!), and there’s even buzz about her slipping back into those Chanel boots for The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Honestly, if Anne keeps this up, I wouldn’t be surprised if she announces a Les Misérables sequel where Fantine gets a happy ending – like, maybe a cottagecore retirement in the south of France. Hey, a blogger can dream.
Anyway, go ahead and watch Anne channel her inner Queen (and Queen Genovia) – all in the name of democracy. The performance is already floating around online thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, and trust me, you’ll want to witness it. Mia Thermopolis singing to save democracy? I mean… chef’s kiss.
Catch the performance and prepare to be enchanted. And don’t forget, Election Day is November 5 – if Mia Thermopolis can show up, so can you. 🗳️
