About this listen
Cyndi Lauper’s year is hitting another high note as she gets set for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 8, a move lauded as long overdue by Billboard, Variety, and most of the music press. The ceremony at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles will stream live on Disney plus and stars a stacked lineup including Elton John, Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, Questlove, and even Jim Carrey, with Chappell Roan—this year’s breakout pop star and self-avowed Lauper superfan—officially selected to induct her, an emotional passing of the glittery torch. The admiration is very much mutual: Lauper lit up social media responding to Roan’s announcement video, teasing heart-eye emojis on the Rock Hall’s official Instagram, while Roan confessed to the world how auditioning with True Colors at age 13 first connected her to Cyndi’s legacy. The pop culture resonance goes deeper: both Lauper and Roan have now scored Grammys for Best New Artist forty years apart, synchronizing a new era of musical rebellion.
Adding to Lauper's induction setlist, Avril Lavigne will join her on stage for a performance at the Hall of Fame, but organizers are keeping the song tightly under wraps, fueling a bit of friendly speculation on fan sites and Twitter about whether we’ll get an “iconic duet” or a multi-artist showcase. Meanwhile, tributes to Lauper’s universal ambition have been everywhere following her Grammy Salute TV special at the Hollywood Bowl, and earlier this month, as reported by Variety and IMDb, the singer announced her first-ever Las Vegas residency: Cyndi Lauper Live in Las Vegas, set for April 24 through May 2, 2026 at Caesars Palace. Tickets fly on sale this week, and fans who missed her emotional Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour now have another shot at a “celebration one last time”—despite rumors swirling of total retirement, she’s firmly staying in the spotlight.
Amid business moves, Lauper is drawing attention for her Tony-winning musical Kinky Boots as it returns to San Jose’s Center for the Performing Arts for a late November run, plugging her Broadway cred alongside a new musical adaptation of Working Girl, now in previews at La Jolla Playhouse. On social media, she’s been lively and active, interacting with Chappell Roan, reacting to cresting mentions from Hollywood and Broadway A-listers, and celebrating new milestones alongside fans—proof that four decades in, her true colors blaze even brighter, echoing in every shout-out, viral clip, and sold-out show.
