Step aside, Real Housewives! Nicola Coughlan is bringing us the gayest bop of the summer, and it’s all for charity.
Nicola Coughlan Drops a New Track
Bridgerton’s own Nicola Coughlan, who plays the ever-clever Penelope Featherington, is entering a new spotlight. While dishing on the scandalous third season of the Netflix hit with Hits Radio UK, Nicola let slip her ultimate dream job. “When the Real Housewives release pop songs exclusively for gay men… that’s like my dream job because they don’t even really sing, they’re just like: ‘Shoes and private yachts. Caviar. And more shoes,’” she giggled to celebrity interviewer Liv Marks.
From LOLs to Club Anthems
Enter producer extraordinaire Ellis Miah, who turned Nicola’s playful fantasy into reality. Famous for his work on All Stars 2’s “Read U Wrote U” and collabs with Miley Cyrus and Big Freedia, Ellis took her lines and made a club remix that’s pure gold. He posted it on TikTok with the rallying cry, “Let’s get Nicola Coughlan her dream job and make her a club icon.” Even Netflix couldn’t resist, dubbing it the “song of the summer.”
Pride’s New Anthem with a Cause
Nicola eagerly embraced her new musical career, sharing a snippet of the remix on Instagram. “In my making music exclusively for gay men era,” she announced.
The single, titled “SHOES… MORE SHOES,” isn’t just a bop; it’s raising funds for Not A Phase, a trans charity, and The Trevor Project, which supports LGBTQ+ youth in crisis.
Celeb Reactions: Pure Gold
The news had Nicola’s celebrity squad buzzing with excitement. Heartstopper’s Joe Locke declared, “I c o n,” while Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard exclaimed, “Pride month is priding.” Wicked star Cynthia Erivo joked, “I’m dead, can the bi girls get a piece of this please?” And Queer Eye’s Jonathan van Ness chimed in with, “OK, we have our playlist for tonight ready.” Betty Who even slid into the comments asking, “Nicola, can I get on the remix?”
Countdown to Fabulous
Though we’re all itching for a release date for “SHOES… MORE SHOES,” the anticipation is half the fun. One thing’s for sure: Nicola Coughlan’s debut single is about to be the soundtrack of our summer, turning every Pride celebration into a glittering, fabulous dance party.
And remember, while you wait, you can catch up on all the juicy drama of Bridgerton streaming now on Netflix!
