00:00Ariana isn't the only singer to star in a movie musical.
00:03Here are four other singers that crossed over into the acting world.
00:07Let's start with Beyoncé. She starred in a movie musical that was inspired by an iconic
00:12girl group, Dreamgirls. The musical's storyline is eerily similar to the story of The Supremes.
00:18And who better to play the lead singer of a girl group than Beyoncé?
00:21She lobbied to play the character of Dina Jones in Wanted after a successful screen test.
00:30Another pop queen who also lobbied to star in a movie musical,
00:36Madonna. She sent a four-page letter to director Alan Parker explaining why she was the best
00:40option to play the lead role in Evita. After actress Michelle Pfeiffer dropped out of playing
00:45the lead role, Madonna did vocal training and flew to Buenos Aires to learn about Ava's life
00:50to prepare for the role. That would give her a Golden Globe for Best Actress, Comedy or Musical.
00:56Another singer who was able to transition into a movie musical role was Olivia Newton-John.
01:01The singer who already earned two No. 1s on the Hot 100 landed the lead role of Sandy in Grease.
01:06Although she didn't have a ton of acting experience,
01:08her performance as Sandy made her synonymous with the role.
01:14Another fun superstar who starred in a movie musical, Taylor Swift.
01:17The 2019 film Cats was packed full of stars including the most famous cat lady of them all.
