Ariana Madix performs ‘Lovefool’ at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade after being axed from ‘Vanderpump Rules’

   

Ariana Madix put on a show-stopping performance during the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — just days after being axed from “Vanderpump Rules.”

The reality star was seen singing and dancing to a rendition of The Cardigan’s 1996 track “Lovefool” in front of the iconic Macy’s Herald Square location in New York City on Thursday.

She wore an all-white outfit, accessorizing with large diamond earrings and sheer white gloves. Her hair was sleekly pulled back in a half-up, half-down hair do.

Earlier this week, Madix was seen in a video posted to TikTok rehearsing for her performance, wearing a furry black-and-brown coat and knee-high white boots.

The Broadway star’s bombshell performance comes after Bravo announced they were axing the entire cast of “VPR” for Season 12 and replacing them with a “new group of close-knit SUR-vers.”

The show’s frontwoman, Lisa Vanderpump, celebrated the turnover and the “last 12 years of filming” with the original cast in a statement announcing the news.

“I can’t thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all,” she said. “Cheers to the next generation of ‘Vanderpump Rules.’”

Madix, who joined the show in Season 2, didn’t seem too heartbroken over the announcement, however. She took to Instagram to gush over her time on the hit Bravo series.

“Vanderpump rules, you will forever be that girl,” she captioned her post. “I was up til 4am looking for all the right pics and the right words, but there’s no post or caption that could ever encapsulate everything.”

“I’m feeling at peace with closing this chapter and im excited for everything that is to come,” she continued. “I don’t know that these were the best days of our lives, but they were definitely something special.”

“VPR” aired in January 2013 with Tom Sandoval, Kristen Doute, Stassi Schroeder, Scheana Shay, Jax Taylor and Katie Maloney as the original cast.

Over the years, the series has gained several new cast members, including James Kennedy, Lala Kent. Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss.

Schwartz hinted at the cast overhaul during an exclusive interview with Page Six earlier this month, saying that “all good things come to an end.”

It’s unclear where the reality stars will go next, but Page Six exclusively reported that Kent was in the “early talks” of joining Bravo’s “The Valley.”

“VPR” gained traction during Seasons 10 and 11 when it was revealed that Sandoval, who was Madix’s boyfriend of 10 years, was having an affair with Leviss. The aftermath of the scandal, dubbed “Scandoval,” has been playing out on the show ever since.
