A recent post by “The Sex Lives of College Girls” actor Aylah Chanelle Scott on TikTok has Vassar students of all ages fangirling and running around campus in a frenzy. Why? Well, not only did Scott’s co-star, singer-songwriter Reneé Rapp, make a quick surprise appearance in the video, but the TikTok also appeared to have been made in Vassar College’s one and only Taylor Hall.
This may not be a huge surprise for many fans of the show, as the first two seasons of “The Sex Lives of College Girls” were filmed in large part on Vassar’s campus. What will probably come as more of a shocker is the exciting news that Reneé Rapp is scheduled to perform this year at Vassar’s annual Founder’s Day celebration!
While in the midst of her “Snow Hard Feelings Tour” and filming of the third season of “The Sex Lives of College Girls,” Rapp suddenly remembered her love for Poughkeepsie, the school it homes and how it made her become “obsessed with New England.” (I know New York is not in New England, but bring that up with her, not me.) Performing at Founder’s Day is a dream come true for Rapp, and something that she had never expected to receive an invite to.
“You never know who you are going to get as a performer at Founder’s Day until just before it happens,” said Vassar first-year Gemini Moon. “It is a blessing and a curse, because I think I talk too much and I do not want to spoil anything.”
Rapp’s upcoming performance at Vassar was confirmed by an anonymous user on the popular app Fizz, which students use to spread news, rumors and information about anything interesting that might be happening on campus. There is also a new “Marketplace” section on the app, where someone is currently selling Reneé Rapp’s signature—which they claim they got from her on the same day the aforementioned TikTok was filmed—for $23.
Yes, the University of California, Los Angeles may be able to boast the fact that the next season of “The Sex Lives of College Girls” is being filmed on their campus, but are they getting a personal performance by Leighton Murray—I mean, Reneé Rapp? That is what I thought.
