Maybe you’ve seen the original videos — a young woman getting in an Uber, asking if it’s for Chanty Beluga, or walking up to a hostess stand, asking for her reservation for two under the same name. Or maybe you’ve seen the fan accounts posting that they have dirt on Chanty, or that Chanty hit them with a car or owes them thousands of dollars. Or maybe it’s the delicate cover of the Plain White T’s “Hey There Deliliah” with the name Chanty Beluga swapped in. Or maybe it’s just one of the confused tweets asking what the hell is…

E veryone who worked on Jae Stephens’ debut album Audacity received a mandatory assignment: to watch Coyote Ugly. The 2000 film stars Piper Perabo as Violet, an aspiring songwriter with big city dreams and a gig at a bar that’s like a boot camp for building self-confidence. “She just wants to be a star,” Stephens says on a sweltering morning in New York. The cult classic connected with her as a kid growing up in Pasadena, but even more so as a woman with ambitious pop star aspirations of her own — and the nerve to go after them. Stephens…
When I started working in music media around 10 years ago, I thought Taylor Swift was underrated, which seems like a ridiculous statement to make now. This was in the post-1989 and pre-Reputation days, when each album seemed like an expansion and continuation of its predecessor, each defined by a particular set of influences and imagery, all constellating around an increasingly confident style of writing that felt distinctive in any landscape she placed herself: country, singer-songwriter, pop. We didn’t use the term “eras” yet, but the evolution was clear. And with some notable exceptions, it seemed like the publications I…

Hayden Panettiere’s former partner, Wladimir Klitschko, issued a statement following the actress’ sudden death over the weekend, writing, “Our family is going through a time of profound shock and grief.” Klitschko, a former Ukrainian boxing champion, and Panettiere met in 2009 and spent much of the 2010s together.

ABC is accusing the Federal Communications Commission of infringing on its First Amendment rights Donald Trump and his administration has made common practice of filing dubious lawsuits against media networks they believed have somehow wronged the president. ABC flipped the script on Tuesday, suing the government for allegedly infringing on its First Amendment rights. The suit against the Federal Communication Commission stems from actions the agency has taken against ABC as Trump has raged over late-night host Jimmy Kimmel making jokes about him. In April, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr ordered a review of ABC’s broadcasting licenses. The agency said the…
