05/11/2019 - 02:50 PM

Let's be clear: Hailee Steinfeld [1] is really cool. Currently leading Apple TV+'s Dickinson [2], she poses a triple threat as an Academy Award-nominated actress, style icon [3], and pop queen. Steinfeld's musical career kicked off when she became part of the Pitch Perfect [4] universe and charmed us with her sweet rendition of "Flashlight." Her pop endeavours have definitely boomed since becoming a Barden Bella, and she's even collaborated with the likes of Zedd and DNCE. In addition to having an angelic voice, Steinfeld is also one hell of a performer, dominating the stage with a sexy and confident presence [5] as well as an impeccable fashion sense. Ahead, we've gathered the singer's best song performances that will certainly, as her Bumblebee song goes, bring you back to life!
