The CW's Katy Keene [1] is filled with talented musicians [2], including Lucy Hale. Though the actress plays an aspiring fashion designer [3] on the Riverdale [4] spinoff, she does participate in a few group numbers. Most recently, her title character sang a cover of Christina Aguilera [5]'s "Dirrty" alongside Ashleigh Murray (Josie), Julia Chan (Pepper), and Jonny Beauchamp (Jorge). And before you start wondering, yes, that is really Hale singing.
Actually, Hale got her start as a singer long before she started acting [6]. In 2003, a then-14-year-old Hale competed on American Idol's spinoff, American Idol Juniors — a singing competition series that sought the best five kids to form a singing group) — and ended up getting a record deal in the process. Though the group's album "flopped," as Hale put it, she did release a solo studio album titled Road Between in 2014. She also showed off her voice in the Cinderella Story spinoff movie, A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song, where she played an aspiring singer. Get a glimpse of Hale's voice as you listen to the Katy Keene cast's cover of "Dirtyy" ahead.
