EVOLution by Sabrina Carpenter is many things to me. My favorite Sabrina Carpenter album. My second favorite album ever. My rainy day album. It’s just so perfect ,and for it to be 10 year anniversary today is absolutely so crazy!

A lot of fake kicking, fake shaking the TV Tuesday night during and after the elimination. And if you hear how depressed I sound on the episode, know that I'm not over it yet.

Almost twenty years ago, Selena Gomez became a Disney icon. Eleven years ago this week, she released a record amidst personal turmoil that became an instant hit, an inspirational album, and was truly the rebirth of Sel.

If I had to choose which song perfectly encapsulated the hit F1: The Movie film, it would be Tate McRae’s “Just Keep Watching”! Full of adrenaline and escapism, this song was a bona fide home run for McRae - kind of a bonus feat to her already incredible 2025! This was such a fun episode to make, and I hope you enjoy!

How was the part two reunion more annoying than part one?!

All good things begin with a little trust. To be trusting, but not too trusting, of people. To be trusting of the positive things of the world. But most importantly, to be trusting of yourself. Welcome to part two!

I've somewhat recovered from last week's finale, but...

Anyone who says music is a “dying art” clearly hasn’t listened to Meg Donnelly’s effortlessly cool EP. Full of 90s hip-hop influences, exciting energy, and NYC vibes, Meg really struck gold with this record. Arriving six years after her debut album, Meg’s debut EP dying art is more than just an extroverted work of art: it’s about finally taking ownership of yourself. Not conforming to the outside world. Just being you.

After watching *that* scene on the Next Gen NYC season 2 finale, in the words of Ariana Madix, "My stomach dropped to my f**king a**." Which scene? Well, you gotta tune in!

A baddie EP decked in red. The Masked Singer. The newest Descendants lead. Kylie Cantrall's 2025 was one of the highest points of her career. And then...the personal life went to s**t. So, what was supposed to be an album extension of Kylie's B.O.Y turned into her most emotional project to date, Valley Girl Problems.
