Prettiest Girl in the Room

Broadway actress and rising pop artist Tara Macri has released her debut single, “Prettiest Girl in the Room”, alongside a glamorous music video channeling Audrey Hepburn’s timeless elegance. The track, a self-love anthem blending pop hooks with introspective lyrics, marks Macri’s transition from theater to music, showcasing her versatility as a performer.

Produced by Greg Collins (known for his work with U2 and Gwen Stefani) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (a multi-Grammy Award winner), the song combines upbeat rhythms with Macri’s soulful vocals. The accompanying video, shot in monochrome with retro styling, pays homage to Hepburn’s iconic charm while reinforcing the message of embracing individuality: “I wanted to ask, ‘What would Audrey do?’—she epitomizes class and confidence,” Macri shared

Upon its release, “Prettiest Girl in the Room” broke into Billboard’s Top 80, receiving extensive airplay on Sirius XM and terrestrial radio. Critics praised its blend of vulnerability and empowerment, with BroadwayWorld calling it a “girl-power pop gem”. The song’s lyrics—“I’ve been the grade maker, I’ve been the game-changer, but I’ve never been the prettiest girl in the room”—resonate with listeners navigating self-doubt, offering a soundtrack for reclaiming self-worth.
