PinkPantheress Flaunts Lady Gaga and Harry Styles Trivia on 'The Weakest Link' Quiz Show

PinkPantheress impresses fans with her sharp Lady Gaga and Harry Styles knowledge on BBC’s ‘The Weakest Link’.

When Music Meets Trivia: PinkPantheress Steps Into the Hot Seat

If you’ve ever wondered whether your favorite musicians could ace a quiz show, PinkPantheress just gave us a vibrant answer. The UK singer-songwriter, known for her genre-blending hits and TikTok-fueled success, put her pop culture savvy to the test on BBC One’s classic quiz show The Weakest Link. And spoiler alert: she held her own like a true champion.

Appearing alongside a lively mix of actors, comedians, and sports personalities, PinkPantheress tackled questions spanning music, literature, and more. It was a night that showed off not just her musical talents but also her quick wit and impressive knowledge base.

Know Your Pop Stars: Harry Styles and Lady Gaga Trivia Highlights

One of the standout moments came when PinkPantheress nailed a question about Harry Styles’ song titles. When presented with a tricky option, she confidently corrected the misnamed track “Music For A Greasy Spoon” to the accurate Music For A Sushi Restaurant. That’s some serious attention to detail—because who wouldn’t want to know the difference between a greasy spoon and a sushi spot?

She also demonstrated her Lady Gaga fandom by correctly identifying Gaga as the pop icon behind the ‘Mayhem Ball’ tour. This wasn’t just casual knowledge; it felt like a nod to a fellow pop innovator who, like PinkPantheress, pushes creative boundaries.

Shakespeare Goes Funky? PinkPantheress’ Playful Mix-Up

Not everything went perfectly, of course. In a lighthearted slip, PinkPantheress humorously suggested Shakespeare’s play title was The Merry Wives Of Chaka Khan—a quirky blend of classic literature and the legendary singer RuPaul references.

This playful mistake endeared her even more to viewers, showing she’s not just a pop star but someone who can laugh at herself and keep the mood light on a pressure-cooker quiz show.

A Strong Finish Among the Final Three

Despite the occasional curveball, PinkPantheress powered through to the final three contestants. She finished just behind comedian Harriet Kemsley and podcaster Hilary Gish Whitehall (yes, Jack Whitehall’s mom!), a testament to her sharp mind and cool composure under pressure.

The Story Behind ‘Illegal’: PinkPantheress’ Breakout Hit

This quiz show appearance is just another chapter in PinkPantheress’ rapid rise. Her track Illegal, which features a sample from electronic legends Underworld, has been a major highlight. Released on her second mixtape Fancy That in May last year, Illegal garnered massive attention and was crowned the best song of 2025 by critics.

The song’s punchy, under-three-minute format is part of her signature style. PinkPantheress explained that its success boiled down to a mix of a TikTok trend and a timeless sample, wrapped in a beat that simply hooks listeners.

Accolades and Upcoming Tours

The acclaim for Illegal didn’t stop at the critics’ lists. The single was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Dance Pop Recording, though it ultimately lost to Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra. PinkPantheress herself is a strong contender at the upcoming BRIT Awards, nominated for both Artist of the Year and Best Dance Act.

Looking ahead, she’s gearing up for a busy festival season, including spots at All Points East alongside Lorde, and Open’er Festival in Poland. It’s clear that her star is only rising higher.

PinkPantheress on The Weakest Link wasn’t just a moment of celebrity trivia—it was a snapshot of an artist who bridges music, culture, and personality with ease. Whether dropping chart-topping singles or cracking a playful joke about Shakespeare, she’s capturing hearts on every front.
