Just a few days after Bravo announced the next season of their hit show Vanderpump Rules will be recast with an all-new group, Ariana Madix wasted no time in appearing in front of the cameras again at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The former reality star, who also hosted the most popular season of Peacock’s Love Island USA over the summer, she sang her own rendition of the Cardigans’ “Lovefool” to audiences both at the New York City parade and to those watching at home on NBC.

Standing on a Peacock float in front of the Macy’s Herald Square location, Madix swayed back and forth as he sang the classic lyrics, “Love me, love me/Say you love me/Fool me, love me fool me/Go ahead and fool me/Need me, need me/Say you need me/I don’t care about anything but you.”

Madix’s vocal performance during the Thanksgiving Day Parade comes as no surprise to her fans and followers who watched her journey on Broadway when she was cast to play Roxie Hart in Chicago. She joined the show in January 2024, almost a year after news broke that her longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval was having an affair with their friend and colleague. VPR cast member Rachel Leviss.

The cheating scandal took over pop culture news cycles for months, dubbed Scandoval, and broke the show’s group dynamic to a point of no return. According to Bravo, production will begin on the next season Vanderpump Rules will start next year and return to their original concept.

“Under the watchful eye of Lisa Vanderpump, West Hollywood mainstay SUR – and now TomTom – welcomes the next class of servers, hosts and bartenders full of drama, situationships and enemies,” the network said in a press release.

Madix, like many of her colleagues Vanderpomp cast members took to social media to share some photos and memories of her time on the series (none of which included her ex-boyfriend).

“Vanderpump rules, you will be that girl forever 💖,” she wrote in an Instagram caption. “I was up until four in the morning looking for the right pictures and the right words, but there is no message or caption that could ever sum it all up. I am forever grateful to have been part of such an incredible cultural phenomenon.”

Madix thanked the fans and said they “have been the constant over the past ten years.”

“(You)our love and support is what I will miss most at the end of it. You made this show what it is. to the fans who showed up for us, old and new, it’s all because of you that we’re here,” she wrote, adding, “I’m at peace with closing this chapter and I’m excited for everything what is to come.”
