Indy NXT standout Lindsay Brewer showcases her music taste with Gracie Abrams among top picks

It's that time of the year again as Spotify has released its annual Wrapped, and Lindsay Brewer has joined the long list of celebrities to share their 2024 Top 5 most listened-to songs. The Indy NXT driver's list includes some niche picks.

On Wednesday, Brewer shared a screenshot of her 'Top Songs' from Wrapped, captioning it:

"Classical Music FTW😂"

Number 1 on the list was Austin Farwell's Evening Sky, a soulful piano melody that the Los Angeles-based artist released in 2022. It remains a remote hit among piano lovers, with just over 640,000 views on YouTube.

This song was followed by two different versions of 'O mio babbino caro', an Italian soprano aria by the Opera Gianni Schicchi, composed by Giacomo Puccini. The title literally translates to 'Oh my dear papa' and was first performed in 1918. The versions that made Brewer's list were by BBC Concert Orchestra and Barry Wordsworth on No. 2, and Joshua Bell and Michael Stern on No. 3.

Song No. 4 has gained more mainstream popularity - Chappell Roan's Good Luck, Babe! Roan was one of the top-streamed artists of 2024, and this hit song ranked sixth most-streamed in the US. Moreover, Roan's debut album 'The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess' was the fifth-most streamed album in the US.

Gracie Abrams' Close To You rounded up Brewer's Top 5. Abrams recently made headlines with her song 'That's So True' which hit No.1 on Billboard in November - a first for her.

How Lindsay Brewer effortlessly merged fashion into her high-paced racing career

Lindsay Brewer has built a loyal following on social media on the back of her unique fashion sense. She boasts 2.8 million followers on Instagram. What started as a bid to get more sponsorships to fund her racing career built into an alternate career.

In an interview with Numero Netherlands in September this year, she explained how fashion helps her express herself without words. Brewer said:

"Fashion is a wonderful way for me to express myself and showcase my personal style. I enjoy experimenting with different looks and staying on top of trends. It’s important to me because it allows me to merge my passion for racing with another creative outlet. Fashion and racing complement each other in my life, helping me feel confident both on and off the track."

Her comments also echo Lewis Hamilton's stance on his passion for fashion, which he developed after stepping into F1 in 2007. That she considers herself a fan of the 7x F1 champion only strengthens the connection.

Brewer recently attended the Las Vegas GP and the Qatar GP as a guest of McLaren and Alpine, respectively. Though she took a solid step towards an IndyCar career with the 2024 Indy NXT series, it remains to be seen what her 2025 racing plans are.
