Gabby Barrett Teases She Might 'Get In Trouble For Posting This'

Gabby Barrett teased that she might “get in trouble for posting this.”

Barrett, 25, stands in the pouring rain on the first slide of her Instagram post that she shared on Tuesday (January 6). The second slide is a silent clip that seemingly hints at a music video on the way. Barrett wrote in her caption, “will I get in trouble for posting this 👀 maybe.”

Commenters expressed excitement and gushed that Barrett is “so stunning.” Some wondered whether it’s an upcoming music video for “The Easy Part,” one of Barrett’s latest singles; however, she has not announced anything as of publication time.

Barrett released “The Easy Part” in August 2025. She described the ballad as “a distant cousin” to her 2019 breakout single, “I Hope.” The former American Idol contestant wrote the song with Zach Abend, Jon Nite, and Michael Hardy (HARDY). Barrett said at the time that she “enjoyed writing on this one. It captures that emotional moment when someone thinks leaving is ‘The Easy Part,’ but what they don’t realize is that the memory of who you were to them will be the hardest to forget. It’s not about encouraging walking away, but about the weight that love can carry even after it’s gone. In some ways, it feels like a distant cousin to ‘I Hope.’ It’s a different kind of heartbreak, one that settles in slow and quiet.”

Since then, Barrett released “Ain’t Supposed To Be,” a single she wrote with Nite, Ross Copperman, and Chase McGill. It’s described as “a gorgeously cinematic but true-to-life track.” Barrett also celebrated the holiday season with a new deluxe edition of her first-ever Christmas album, Carols and Candlelight.
