On By Littum

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

The reality star was spotted singing and dancing to a rendition of The Cardigans’ 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, accessorized with large diamond earrings and sheer white gloves. Her hair was slicked back in a half-up, half-down hair do.

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

The Broadway star’s bombshell performance comes after Bravo announced it was firing the entire cast of “VPR” for Season 12, replacing them with a “new group of tight SUR-verses.”

The show’s frontwoman, Lisa Vanderpump, celebrated the revenue and the “past 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.'”

However, Madix, who joined the show in season 2, didn’t seem too heartbroken by the announcement. She took to Instagram to gulp about her time on the hit Bravo series.

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

“I feel at peace with closing this chapter and excited for everything to come,” she continued. “I don’t know that those 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 members.

Over the years, the series has added 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 “early talks” to join Bravo’s “The Valley.”

“VPR” gained traction in 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 played out on the show ever since.
