The Girls Trip soundtrack contains a huge roster of recognizable songs. The 2017 movie, which was directed by Malcolm D. Lee from a screenplay by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver, starred Regina Hall, Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Queen Latifah. Although Haddish had played many characters in film and television before then, the movie provided her with her breakthrough role, allowing her further opportunities down the line including announcing that year’s Oscar nominees, hosting Saturday Night Live (a gig that won her her first Emmy), writing a memoir, and starring in future projects including Night School and The Afterparty.
