RAYE joined Cyndi Lauper on stage at the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Los Angeles for a stunning duet on “Time After Time,” the second song in Lauper’s induction set, performed with the room still glowing from phone flashlights carried over from an emotionally charged rendition of “True Colors” moments before. With Gina Schock of the Go-Go’s on drums and Lisa Coleman on keys, the two traded lines and came together on the chorus, RAYE taking the lower harmonies as their voices intertwined across a generational bridge that captured everything the night was about. RAYE, the British singer-songwriter who broke the all-time record at the 2024 BRIT Awards with six wins in a single night including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year, was one of several artists joining Lauper’s all-female set alongside Avril Lavigne and Salt-N-Pepa. Lauper was inducted by Chappell Roan, who said of the honoree: “Tonight, we honor a woman who redefined what a pop star could look like, sound like, sing like, and be.”
