Ms. Rachel has entered her album era, and she is so happy about it

Honoree Rachel Accurso (aka Ms. Rachel) and her husband, Aron Accurso, attend the Glamour Women of the Year Awards at The Plaza Hotel on Nov. 4, 2025, in New York.

Ms. Rachel has conquered YouTube, Netflix and the toy aisle. Now she's making an album, with real instruments, big feelings and her littlest listeners in mind.
