Singer Lauren Paley, who has become a TikTok sensation, has given us the Disney princess we’ve been desperately waiting for since 2002.

Watch the video below. In the series, she’s also covered Avril Lavigne’s “I’m With You” and “Sk8r Boi,” Evanescence’s “My Immortal” and “Bring Me To Life,” Fall Out Boy’s… Read more »

Insight, nostalgia, chaos. The usual.
