Chad Powers starts streaming on September 30 and the show is truly one of the best comedies out there. I absolutely loved it and one of the things I think is incredibly fun about the show is the use of music in it.

In one scene, Danny (Frankie A. Rodriguez) is singing a musical theatre song when he’s home alone. Now, if you’ve ever had a roommate or if you’ve ever lived with someone else, you know the song you choose to sing when you’re by yourself is incredibly important. After all, it may be the only time you have to see if you can hit that high note without embarrassing yourself.

So during a game of flip cup with Glen Powell and Perry Mattfeld, I asked the two if they had the freedom that Danny does in the show to just belt it out, what song would they sing? Mattfeld responded quickly with “Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift. But “only because it’s really high and I don’t want anyone to hear me attempt that.”

Powell agreed saying that it was a hard song to sing. And when I had him answer the same question, he responded by saying “Now I just want to get alone so I can do ‘Cruel Summer.'” The two did then compliment Powell’s younger sister, Leslie Powell, for her musical talents, saying “My little sister, Leslie, is an amazing singer. I’m sure she could crush ‘Cruel Summer.'”

This also comes after Powell said he’d love to see Taylor Swift on season 2 of Chad Powers so he is campaigning hard for her to join the series. And look, isn’t that what singing alone in your home is all about? If you can’t try to belt incredibly high songs when you are by yourself, what are you doing?
