Jersey Shore Family Vacation season 8 dropped its first episode on May 29, 2025. The episode featured various segments of the cast where they gave updates about their personal lives since the seventh season ended earlier this year.
Starting off with Angelina, she is seen in a studio trying to record two songs. The lyrics, she says, represent her life and breakup from ex Vinny 2.0. In a confessional, Angelina reveals that she has been singing for a long time now, but manages to hit none of the notes that Tony was asking of her.
However, she is blissfully unaware of how bad the situation is and says that her songs are coming out "really amazing." As she hears the final version, Tony admits that he used a bit of autotune to correct minor notes. In her Jersey Shore Family Vacation confessional, Angelina says that she is more of a rapper than a singer.
