Rachel Zegler is out here proving that she’s not just a princess—she’s the princess, with pipes to match. Ahead of the much-anticipated (and Twitter-argued-about) release of Snow White, the 23-year-old actress graced Jimmy Kimmel Live with a performance of her original song, “Waiting on a Wish,” on Monday night (March 17) in Hollywood.
And let me tell you—this wasn’t some half-hearted, “let’s just get through this” performance. No, Rachel sang like her life depended on it, belting high notes like she was trying to shatter all seven of the dwarfs’ imaginary glasses.
Acting with CGI Dwarfs = The Ultimate Test of Patience
During her chat with Jimmy, Rachel spilled the tea on what it’s like to act with characters that… well… aren’t actually there.
“It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she confessed, probably ranking it higher than trying to open a bag of chips quietly during a movie. “It’s amazingly rewarding when you see it and when you complete it, but you basically do three different versions of every scene.”
That’s right—three. Not one, not two, but three versions of every single scene. Someone give this woman an Oscar and a nap.
Snow White is Coming to Theaters—Like It or Not!
Mark your calendars (or don’t, but you should): Snow White hits theaters everywhere this Friday! And if you want to hear “Waiting on a Wish” on repeat, the music video is already out, ready to become your new guilty pleasure.
The Look: Princess Chic Meets Stiletto Dreams
FYI, Rachel rocked a Richard Quinn dress and Betsey Johnson heels for the performance. Because nothing says enchanted forest vibes like designer fashion and footwear that probably wasn’t meant for running away from evil queens.
Watch her performance below, and prepare to be wished away into the world of Snow White! 🍎✨
