Nearly 30 years later, Peck has moved up to very different stages: she’s a longtime principal dancer with New York City Ballet, one of the most acclaimed ballerinas in the world, a 2026 Emmy-winner and a respected choreographer in her own right who recently premiered her second full-length work for NYCB.
But while her latest major dance role does involve a tutu, it brought her back to the world of pop music. Peck choreographed and stars in Olivia Rodrigo’s “Stupid Song” video, in which the singer-songwriter wanders around New York’s Upper West Side followed by a troupe of ballerinas who cluster, pirouette and, at one point, mosh around her.
