Can Lindsay Lohan play guitar and sing? What we know about her musical talent
Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 38-year-old actress said, 'I was excited because I started my lessons again, because I haven't played in a long time... It was really fun.' She added that it was 'nice' to return to singing and performing in a film, something she hadn't done 'since I was young.'
'It's not me singing - it's Anna'
Lohan's musical comeback isn't without its challenges. In her ELLE Summer 2025 cover interview with Saturday Night Live's Chloe Fineman, she admitted it was 'kind of nerve-racking' to sing again - not because of her vocal skills, but because she wasn't doing it as herself. 'When I was doing [the original Freaky Friday], I was also recording an album, so it was part of my life at the time,' said Lohan, who released her debut studio album Speak in 2004. 'In this movie, I was singing it as [my character] Anna, whereas before felt more like Lindsay singing.' She also acknowledged the emotional weight of reprising the music: 'Just seeing the reaction that people had to [Pink Slip] was so heartwarming. Like I almost wanted to cry because I didn't realize how big it really became.'
Pink Slip is back - and so is the music!
The sequel includes new songs performed by the band, and according to both Lohan and co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, one of them might just be 'the song of the summer.' In a 2024 interview with People, Curtis confirmed, 'Pink Slip is back, let's put it that way.' Original bandmates Christina Vidal and Haley Hudson are returning as well.
Lohan said the performance scenes even drew live cheers on set. 'When we were [filming the songs], audience members were like, 'Encore!' And we were like, 'We only have one song, we didn't think this through!'' The film, she added, has 'more music' than the original - and at least one track 'tugs on your heartstrings.'

So... can she really play and sing?
The short answer: yes. Lohan has showcased her musical abilities in multiple films and real-life performances over the years. Besides her work in Freaky Friday, she sang in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls, and A Prairie Home Companion. She's also released two studio albums, Speak and A Little More Personal (Raw), proving that music has always been part of her artistic identity - even if it occasionally takes a back seat to acting.
With guitar lessons restarted and a new rock performance on the horizon, Lindsay Lohan is ready to remind audiences that she's not just Anna Coleman or a nostalgic Disney star - she's a performer in her own right, and she's got the chops to prove it.

Wednesday Season 2: Catherine Zeta-Jones Hails 'Amazing' Co-Star Jenna Ortega
Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly. Wednesday Season 2: Catherine Zeta-Jones thinks Jenna Ortega is 'amazing". The 55-year-old actress stars alongside Jenna, 22, in the new season of Wednesday, and Catherine has praised her co-star's professional approach to their sword fight scene. She told People: 'We did rehearse it. It's like choreography and stunts. You know, we have to be careful. These are real weapons we're working with." Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly for the scene. The actress, who plays Morticia Addams on the hit Netflix show, said: 'She'd find time in her schedule, which is a much bigger schedule than mine, to come and rehearse with me, and then we worked it with the stunt coordinator, and it turned out really fabulous." Catherine has also praised Luis Guzman, who plays Gomez Addams, for his pre-shoot preparations. The duo teamed up to perform a tango, and Catherine revealed that Luis 'just really worked hard". She shared: 'We used to rehearse the four scenes outside, dodging the rain, sometimes in Ireland, in gravel to keep it every day, to keep it fresh. Because, of course, we learned it at the beginning of the show. We weren't shooting it for weeks, three months later. So to keep it fresh and to remember our moves every now and again, we just jump together and we do it. And we laughed." Meanwhile, Jenna previously revealed that she became an 'unhappy person" after season one of Wednesday. The actress plays Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show, but Jenna initially struggled to cope with the pressures of fame and success. She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: 'To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. After the pressure, the attention, as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary." Jenna now serves as a producer on Wednesday, and she's loving the experience of having a hands-on role with the show. Jenna – who has become one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood in recent years – said: 'I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I'm still finding my footing in that area."
