Does Nicholas Galitzine actually sing in The Idea of You?

Did you know that Nicholas Galitzine can sing? After watching the endearing Red, White and Royal Blue karaoke scene or the 2021 reboot of Cinderella, you might have wondered whether the British actor was relying on age-old Hollywood magic or complete vocal dubbing. Well, we’re happy to report that Nicholas Galitzine can actually, really, truly sing, and he’s good.

For those of you who have seen his new Amazon Prime rom-com with Anne Hathaway, The Idea of You (and if not, why not?) in which he plays Hayes Campbell, the frontman of fictional hit boyband August Moon. (Hayes is believed to be largely inspired by Harry Styles and August Moon, One Direction) you may also think that his on-stage crooning may also be down to some AI dubbing wizardry, but not so. For Mr Galitzine is not just a pretty face and pretty good actor, he’s also a pretty decent singer too. A triple threat.

Nick takes to social media to show off his pipes on a pretty regular basis, amassing a pretty impressive collection of pop covers. (Oh, and he plays guitar too, NBD.) The actor-singer has covered artists like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gaga, and even Fleetwood Mac. Sit back, relax, and keep scrolling to watch Nicholas Galitzine sing his heart out.

“You’re On Your Own, Kid” by Taylor Swift

Nicholas covered Taylor’s Midnights track with just his acoustic guitar for accompaniment in a recent video — snuck in an IG photo dump posted on November 2, 2023 — which was quickly shared and praised by Swifties worldwide. “’You’re On Your Own, Kid (Nick’s Version),’” one person commented.

“Vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo

It seems that, like the rest of us, Nick couldn’t get enough of Olivia Rodrigo’s first GUTS single “Vampire.” The actor covered it with his trusty guitar, and now we want a duet.
