The Riverdale star did the TØP single justice...
Shannon Purser is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting actresses of our generation. Not only was she one of the breakout stars of Stranger Things in 2016 (#JusticeForBarb) but she's since had starring roles on the likes of Riverdale and Rise. Not to mention, she starred in the horror film Wish Upon alongside Joey King in 2017 and she is about to play the lead in Netflix's new teen drama: Sierra Burgess Is A Loser.

However, Shannon isn't just brilliant at acting. On Rise the 21 year old proved that she also has a stunning singing voice and we've been desperate for her to record her own music since. Unfortunately, it does not seem like Shannon has any plans to work on an album or single anytime soon (we can dream) but the star is treating us in the meantime.
Shannon just took to Twitter to share a cover of Twenty One Pilots' new single 'Jumpsuit'. Sharing her gorgeous acoustic TØP cover, she simply tweeted: "jumpsuit ||-//" and let her talent do the talking.

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular...
Twenty One Pilots surprise released 'Jumpsuit' this week alongside another new song called 'Nico and the Niners'. To make things even more exciting, they also announced a world tour and that their new album Trench will be released this October. Naturally, the skeleton clique globally is living for all of the TØP content and fans are already sharing covers, including Shannon.
Naturally the responses to it were full of huge praise from Shannon fans and TØP stans alike. One fan wrote: "I demand a full cover immediately" and another asked: "Can we can an EP with covers and original songs tho?" We need both of these things.
I demand a full cover IMMEDIATELY. ///sobs
