'Bridgerton' Star Nicola Coughlan Drops Debut Pop Song To Benefit LGBTQ Community
HuffPost
"Shoes... More Shoes" is named for a viral interview answer Coughlan gave about "The Real Housewives" last month.
“Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan celebrated Pride Month on Friday by releasing her first song — and donating the proceeds to LGBTQ+ charities Not a Phase and The Trevor Project.
The actor evidently leaned into the idea after music producer Ellis Miah sampled one of her answers from a “Hits Radio UK” interview last month and turned it into a viral remix on TikTok.
“You know, when the Real Housewives release pop songs just exclusively for gay men? That’s like my dream job,” Coughlan had said in the interview.
“’Cause they don’t even really sing, they just list things. They’re like, ‘Shoes, private yachts, caviar — more shoes,’” she elaborated.
The actor was undoubtedly referencing “Real Housewives of New York City” star Luann de Lesseps, who used her reality television fame to branch out — and released a song titled “Chic, C’est La Vie” in which she lists luxury items like “gems, jets … diamonds” and caviar.
