Rebecca's Karaoke Song In Ted Lasso Was Even More Perfect Than You Think
When the characters of Ted Lasso celebrate their victory at Goodison Park in a karaoke bar, Rebecca takes the stage, and the details in the scene were more perfectly fitting her character development than it seemed. Throughout Ted Lasso season 1, Rebecca is a sympathetic antagonist who is constantly teasing the storyline with a possible redemption, only to turn around and do something devious in her hurt. However, Ted Lasso season 1, episode 7, «Make Rebecca Great Again» is a pivotal point in her character arc, highlighting her friendship with Keeley and the fragility surrounding her divorce. When her childhood friend Flo is introduced, she reveals things about Rebecca’s pre-Rupert past that set her up for redemption.
One of the tidbits Flo shares about Rebecca, besides a "silly" nature and funny childhood nickname, is that Ted Lasso's Rebecca is an amazing singer who used to watch Frozen with Flo's daughter Nora. After describing the "real Rebecca" as "strong, but not cold," Flo has a frank conversation with Rebecca about her ownership in the relationship she had with Rupert before surprising her with the karaoke song. She challenges Rebecca to let go of her resentment, saying "I will always be your biggest defender, but you need to own up to the part you played." The resulting musical scene is indicative of Flo’s words getting through to Rebecca, who is finally in the mindset to accept her situation and move forward with her life. This mindset sets Rebecca up for her redemption two episodes later, when she is finally able to come clean and, despite Rupert's antagonizing, ask for Ted Lasso's forgiveness.
