So I was scrolling through some music forums last night when this question popped up: did Ruby Rose actually sing in Pitch Perfect? Honestly, I always thought she totally rocked those songs. But now I’m seeing people arguing about it online. Time to investigate!
My Stumble Into The Rabbit Hole
First things first – I grabbed my laptop and rewatched Pitch Perfect 3. Remember that scene where her band Evermoist performs “Just Like Magic”? Yeah, replayed that five times with headphones cranked up. Ruby’s lips were moving perfectly but… something felt off. Her voice sounded way smoother than her normal speaking tone. Weird.
Detective Mode Activated
Started digging through old interviews. Found this 2017 press junket video where a reporter straight-up asked Ruby: “Did you sing in the movie?” She just smiled and said “Wouldn’t you like to know?” Classic dodge. Suspicion level: rising.
- Checked her IMDB page – zero singing credits
- Googled “Pitch Perfect 3 vocals” like a madwoman
- Scrolled through three pages of sketchy fan forums
Finally hit gold on this tiny Swedish music blog from 2018. Buried in their archives was an interview with producer Kay Cannon casually mentioning the voice behind Ruby’s character. My hands were shaking when I saw the name.
The Bomb Drop Moment
Turns out Swedish singer Noomi Bäcklund provided every single vocal track for Ruby’s character. All those badass performances? Total playback magic. Mind officially blown. I just sat there staring at my screen for ten straight minutes.
Still processing this. Part of me feels cheated – I totally thought Ruby was rocking those vocals for real. But hey, movie magic strikes again. Still love her performance though, voice or no voice!
