Yes, there is such a thing as a “piano hat,” but the phrase usually refers to different things depending on context, not a single famous product or trend.

What “piano hat” can mean

  • A small electronic piano add‑on board (called “Piano HAT”) for the Raspberry Pi, with touch‑sensitive keys and LEDs that lets you play notes or control software with your Pi.
  • A novelty fashion item: costume or party hats styled like a piano keyboard or grand piano, sold on general marketplaces and party shops (these exist, but are not a major branded trend).
  • A historical “Napoleon hat” piano : a rare upright piano whose case is shaped like Napoleon’s hat, sometimes referred to in posts as a “hat-shaped piano” rather than a piano hat.

Quick Scoop on trends

  • The most talked‑about “Piano HAT” online in recent years is the Raspberry Pi add‑on board for music and coding experiments, popular in maker and education communities.
  • Fashion-style piano hats are niche novelty items rather than a viral or “latest news” trend; they appear more in party/DIY costume contexts than in mainstream fashion coverage.

If you meant a wearable musical hat

  • There are DIY and hobby projects where people attach small speakers and touch sensors to hats to trigger piano sounds, but these are one‑off maker builds rather than a mass‑market gadget line.
  • If you are thinking of a hat you can tap like keys to play music, the closest off‑the‑shelf thing is the Raspberry Pi Piano HAT board, which you could mount into or onto a hat as a custom project.

TL;DR:

  • Yes: “Piano HAT” exists as a Raspberry Pi mini‑piano board and as various novelty keyboard‑pattern hats.
  • No: there is no single universally known, mainstream “piano hat” product dominating current news or forums.
