'Hunger Games' Star Drops 'Killer Song' That Has Fans Demanding an Album
If you keep up with new shows and movies, chances are you've seen Mckenna Grace before. Grace has been acting since she was a child, starring in projects like Gifted, alongside Chris Evans, and the Big Bang Theory spinoff show Young Sheldon. The movies and shows from Grace's younger years are just the tip of the iceberg, though.
Grace's filmography is shockingly long for an actress who is just 19 years old, and it doesn't seem as though the star will be slowing down any time soon. In fact, in addition to two major projects starring Grace that are currently in the works-the new Hunger Games movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, in which Grace plays Maysilee Donner, and Netflix's Scooby-Doo spinoff series Scooby-Doo: Origins, which will see Grace in the beloved role of Daphne-Grace has just surprised fans with some brand-new music.
Grace took to her Instagram account today to announce the release of her new single, "Ugly & Rotten," along with the release of a music video for the song.
Grace's post sharing the new song is full of supportive comments, although many responses are highlighting one thing in particular: Disbelief that Grace can be such a talented, busy actress who is also putting out new music (that is actually good).
In addition to a comment about "Ugly & Rotten" being a "killer song," one comment says, "Besides being beautiful, charming, a good actress, and adorable, she also sings well?? McKenna Grace, where did you come from???"
Another comment reads, "Is there anything you can't do @mckennagraceful amazing actor, singer and even more amazing person couldn't be prouder of you." Yet another echoes, "What's it that Mckenna cannot do LoL."
Commenters have also begun setting their sights on what they think Grace should tackle next, with one person writing, "Album next 🤔" and another saying, "We need an album next!!"
As fans await an album-whether one is actually in the works or not remains unknown-they can look forward to Grace hitting the big screen later this year, as Sunrise on the Reaping is set to release on November 20.
