Starr tagged Adam Rippon in her SP music announcement post on Instagram.

Thanks for starting this thread for the new season, @Wyliefan! For now I'll list the skaters who already have competed in at least one senior international and have revealed their music selection (vs. just the choreographers with whom they've worked).

@Karen-W posted the program music announcements by Audrey Shin (USA) back in March in the U.S. Women's thread -- Audrey first announced via social media on March 6 that her FS is to "Skyfall" by Adele (clip included in the embedded IG post here): https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/u-s-women-4-how-dare-you.110065/page-17#post-6403401

Audrey Shin announced [on March 26] her SP music for next season will be to the Pina soundtrack - https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN--25Dh9x/

Audrey also tweeted: https://twitter.com/AudreyShin4/status/1639843696655970304
She hasn't revealed the choreographer(s) of either program yet, AFAIK.

Yes, I was wondering when to fashion a noose for the sake of figure skating, so Blinks and Lillies being introduced to the audience seems like a good time.

These are nice.
I still hold a grudge to last season's ice dancers because for all the musical theater choices, I did not see one program with music from "Newsies"
You shame yourselves, dancers. SHAME!

You shame yourselves, dancers. SHAME!

But the real question, should they have gone with the trained singers doing the Broadway version, or my preference, the not-so-great singers like Christian Bale in the movie version, and Ann-Margaret doing the Razzie-winning song 'High Times, Hard Times'...
