You might have known her for her hit single “The Fight Song” on the radio or you might have accidently thought it was a singing Blake Lively but NOPE! She is Rachel Plattern, a 34 year old singer from Newton Centre, Massachusetts who spent most of her career making it big. From playing in a crowd of only 4 people just a year ago, she has exploded into worldwide success with just one song that peaked top 10 in over 6 countries. She even sang with Taylor Swift in her 1989 tour!

Aside from her hit single, she has other great songs from her album Wildfire like Congratulations, Stand By You, and Lone Ranger. Her songs and lyrics are so meaningful that even Taylor Swift has been seen wearing it!

Plus, Rachel is a total fashionista. As you can see from the pictures below, she LOVES wearing leather:
On top of being Hollywood material, she is also caring and inspiring. Like when she sang The Fight Song with this cancer patient…
Or when she sang the song with another patient on Ellen…
So what do you think of Rachel Plattern? Is she the next Taylor Swift or just another one hit wonder?
