Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard starred in a surprise musical number originally slated to appear in the Oscar-nominated film Vice. In the deleted scene from the Dick Cheney biopic, Howard played a congresswoman who breaks into song and dance to explain the power dynamics of politics in Washington, D.C. Watch the musical number, which Howard performed live, over at Rolling Stone.
The deleted scene will be available as an extra on the Vice Blu-Ray and DVD release, which is out April 2. Vice, directed by Adam McKay, was nominated for Best Picture at the 2019 Oscars. The award—to the dismay of BlacKkKlansman director Spike Lee—went to Green Book instead.
In 2017, Howard debuted her band Bermuda Triangle with Jesse Lafser and Becca Mancari. Her last record with Alabama Shakes was 2015’s Sound & Color.
