Watch Chappell Roan Get Slushied While Recreating an Iconic Scene From ‘Glee’

Chappell Roan is letting her Gleek flag fly in 2025. In a hilarious video shared to her TikTok account Wednesday (Jan. 1), the 26-year-old pop star recreates an iconic scene from Ryan Murphy’s Glee — taking a slushie to the face in the process.

In the clip, Roan plays the part of Kurt Hummel — portrayed by Chris Colfer on the hit Fox series — speaking into a microphone during an interview with a classmate. “You know what does take some courage? Standing up and singing about something,” the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer mouths along to the Glee audio, sassily pointing her finger at the camera.

“So here’s a message for everyone that reads your blog: Next time, instead of posting an anonymous comment online, say what you have to say to my face,” she continues.

In the original Glee scene — which is featured in the second season’s first episode — Colfer’s character is then assaulted by a surprise slushie that a William McKinley High School bully throws in his face. For her recreation, Roan maintained the integrity of the source material, bravely committing to the bit as purple icy sludge sails into view from off camera and splashes her in the face.

“New Year New Me New Directions #glee #welcomeback #ladies,” Roan captioned the clip.

The Grammy nominee’s video marks her first post of 2025 on the platform. Just a week prior, Roan shared her thoughts on a different episode of the satirical show-choir sitcom, posting on Instagram Stories that its 2011 Christmas special was “the worst episode of Glee I’ve ever seen.” 

Shortly afterward, Roan followed it up with an “apology video for the Gleeks that [she] offended,” which she filmed in front of a Christmas tree as someone off camera aims a pair of scissors at her. “I am so sorry,” she continues jokingly in the video. “I love every episode of Glee …” 

Starring Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Naya Rivera, Glee aired from 2009 to 2015. During its run, the cast notched 207 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 — one of the highest amounts on record. It’s a number only a few musicians have surpassed, including Drake, Taylor Swift and Future.  

Roan ended 2024 as Billboard‘s fourth-greatest pop star of the year, a testament to the phenomenal career explosion she’s experienced in the past 12 months. Her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in August, and the star launched seven tracks onto the Hot 100 over the course of last year.
