Even the staunchest Drake hater can probably name at least one song that does it for them. For better or worse, Aubrey Graham has spent nearly two decades giving voice to the millennial subconscious more skillfully than any mainstream musician not named Taylor Swift, soundtracking the fears, insecurities, and romantic delusions of a generation raised on reality-TV melodrama and the first wave of social media’s main-character ethos. It should come as no surprise, then, that Earl Sweatshirt, underground rap’s poet laureate, has singled out the deep Iceman cut “Don’t Worry,” singing the song karaoke-style to close out his recent live…
Tate McRae has responded to accusations of being MAGA after her Morgan Wallen duet and alleged relationship with Jack Hughes. The ‘Sports Car’ singer has addressed her rumoured MAGA affiliations in an interview with Variety. McRae has collaborated with Morgan Wallen on the song ‘What I Want’; Wallen stirred controversy over his use of a racial slur in 2021. Additionally, McRae is reportedly dating Jack Hughes, who plays for NHL team The Devils and for the USA team when they won the Winter Olympics this year. He and the team caught flack when they met President Donald Trump after snagging the…

The Pentagon, nexus of American military might, the institution that holds the brightest martial minds in the world, whose resources are greater than any warchest the greatest killers of history could even imagine, has a question for all those under its command: Does anyone … uh … have any ideas? According to CNN, a senior Pentagon official sent an email last week to a broad group of military analysts asking for new ideas on the Iran war, which has become a tactical and strategic quagmire for Donald Trump’s administration. “We are looking for new creative and unconventional ways to pressure…
The fundraiser was started in anticipation of any wrongful death lawsuits and to pursue potential defamation claims against the “online mob” A fundraising campaign has been launched on behalf of Nolan Xavier Wells’ friends in anticipation of any potential lawsuits lodged against the teens in wake of the 18-year-old’s still unsolved death. Beyond defensive measures, the father of Wells’ purported best friend, Warren Hudson, said the money would be used to go after those who “falsely and wrongly blamed” Wells’ friends for having any part in how the Mississippi teen’s body was discovered after spending the Fourth of July out…
System Of A Down‘s Serj Tankian has suggested that drummer John Dolmayan no longer supports Donald Trump. The frontman was profiled by Rolling Stone Italy, where he was asked about comments he made in his 2024 memoir Down with the System in regards to Dolmayan’s political affiliations. In the book, he referred to Dolmayan as “is or was” a Trump supporter. When questioned by Rolling Stone Italy about Dolmayan’s current beliefs, Tankian replied: “First of all, I don’t want to speak for John about his political views; that wouldn’t be fair. I can say that the verb “was” is correct.” However, Tankian cautioned that…
The sequel to “Beat Up Chanel$” is tuned to the pop radio of the early 2010s.
It has been two years since the Netflix series Pop Star Academy brought Katseye together, and the girl group still hasn’t had a truly universal hit. They’ve had popular songs, sure. There’s the smooth, Latin-pop-inspired “Gabriela,” which peaked at Number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, and of course “Gnarly,” the skittering viral track about fried chicken, Takis, and Teslas. “Internet Girl” seemed promising when Katseye premiered it on tour, but the studio recording that arrived at the top of the year features some bizarre vocal choices that unravel the track. “Pinky Up” barely cut through the discourse about their…
The designer was fired from Dior in 2011 after he was filmed going on an antisemitic rant at a Paris bar In an unexpected decision, next year’s Met Gala will be devoted to the works of the equally celebrated and controversial fashion designer, John Galliano. The British designer, who held the head design position at French heritage brand Dior from 1996 to 2011, was revealed last week to be the theme of fashion’s biggest night next May — an honor that only two other living designers have had in the Met Gala’s 78-year history. The announcement is somewhat surprising given that…
It wasn’t just any Fourth of July. It was America’s 250th birthday, and fittingly, Rolling Stone brought its inaugural Stateside festival to Kingston, N.Y. — New York’s first capital and a city steeped in Revolutionary history. The lineup reflected the occasion. From Vermont headliner Noah Kahan to Austin native Bo Staloch, all 11 artists on the bill were born in the U.S.A., with sounds rooted in folk, Americana, country, indie rock, and soul. And that patriotic spirit extended well beyond the stages. Scout Motors, the iconic American brand preparing to launch its next generation of all-electric and EREV (extended range…
