Process Your Feelings with Reneé Rapp on Sesame Street
Need a fuzzy hug in these terrible, dark times? Check out Reneé Rapp singing with Elmo and friends on Sesame Street.
The trailer for the upcoming season of Sesame Street (its 55th!) shows sapphic sensation Reneé Rapp singing with the muppets about the gayest thing you can do on a children’s show: processing your feelings. The trailer features her singing a genuine bop about how it’s okay to feel your feelings alongside Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby.
Other queer guest stars that will make appearances this season include (but may not be limited to) SZA, Jonathan Van Ness, and Billie Jean King. Quite an eclectic bunch! The new season, however, is the last season to be produced under the deal between HBO and Sesame Workshop, so it seems like Sesame Street will need a new home soon.
Season 55 starts on January 16th, and I look forward to hearing Reneé Rapp’s full song about feeling big feelings, because I do indeed have plenty of big feelings to feel.
