Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead is here, but is it her last album before she fully dives into acting? We break down the new era and what it could mean for her music career. Then, we look at other pop stars who’ve made the jump to Hollywood—who thrived, who flopped, and how it changed their place in music.

Plus, it’s Bop or Flop time with fresh tracks from Kesha, Kali Uchis, Lucy Dacus, and more. And in the headlines: Lady Gaga is being sued by a surf company (???)—we unpack the drama.

Five years ago, Dua Lipa dropped Future Nostalgia at the worst possible time—the start of a global lockdown. But instead of fading away, it became a quarantine anthem and one of the most iconic pop albums of the decade. In this episode, we break down how Dua turned uncertainty into a career-defining moment, reshaped modern pop, and cemented herself as a global superstar.
