Peloton is Hosting a Music Festival With Disclosure, Depeche Mode, More
While the pandemic caused a harsh blow for many companies on the market, there were a few who found mass success, such as Peloton. The at-home fitness company provided both a physical and mental health outlet for those cooped up indoors. And for those of us who yearned for clubs and festivals, it also provided a healthy alternative for consuming high-energy music. After all, walking around for miles from stage to stage does have some similarities to 45 minutes on a stationary bike. Peloton seems to agree because the company has officially launched the All For One music festival, a three-day virtual event beginning on July 1st that will feature more than 40 instructors covering their signature cycling, running, cardio, strength, and yoga classes. They will be joined by a diverse ...
The 20 Best Rock Songs by Pop Stars
Olivia Rodrigo may be a teenage pop star who works for Disney and first scaled the Hot 100 with a piano-driven ballad, but her second No. 1 of 2021, “Good 4 U,” is a surprisingly feisty pop-punk song. And Sour’s even harder-rocking opener “Brutal” is currently ascending Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart. Rock music has been deeply intertwined with American pop ever since early rockers like Little Richard and Bill Haley started scaling the charts. But since the ‘80s, Top 40 radio has largely favored sleeker tracks with synthesizers, drum machines, and influences from genres like dance music, R&B, and hip-hop, with only occasional bursts of electric guitar and live drums. Plenty of rockers have become pop stars, from Pat Benatar to Bruce Springsteen, but there are also pop stars who ...
Poster Girl Is the Bodacious Fashion Brand Loved by Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, and Bimini Bon Boulash
Poster Girl founders Natasha Somerville and Francesca Capper (Daniel Sachon) Are you familiar with Poster Girl? The London-based online boutique founded by Francesca Capper and Natasha Somerville is creating the hottest dresses of summer 2021. We first fell in love with Poster Girl’s skintight signature dresses after Rowan Blanchard shared a photo on Instagram wearing the brand’s Charlotte dress in autumn 2020. But with nowhere to go at the time, it wasn’t until spring 2021 that stars like Dua Lipa, Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, and Doja Cat started to catch on to the brand’s “bold and bodacious” designs. With Poster Girl set to be one of the It brands of summer 2021, we spoke to the designers about how a pair of red stilettos decided their friendship, the...

Trump Administration Moves Forward With TikTok Ban
After weeks of discussions over the future of TikTok in the United States, the Trump Administration has announced it will be banning the social media platform as well as messaging app WeChat from mobile app stores starting as early as Sunday (Sept. 20).

Doja Cat’s Forthcoming Album Is Inspired By Afrobeat and House Music
Doja Cat is dipping her toes into the dance music pool for her forthcoming album, revealing in a recent interview that the record is rooted in afrobeat and house music, among other genres. Following her “Best New Artist” win at the 2020 MTV VMAs, the polarizing Los Angeles-based pop star dished on her upcoming album in a recent interview with MTV News. “I have my album coming, can’t say when,” she said when asked about her next project. “I really wanna make it a surprise, I don’t wanna say too much.” “It’s not gonna be perfectly consistent, I’ve never been anyway, but we do have some dancehall stuff on there, some afrobeat stuff, some funk, house,” she continued. “I’m trying to cover all bases, I can’t wait for people to hear ...
The Struggle Files: Doja Cat Gets COVID-19 After Thumbing Nose At Virus
Source: Getty Images / Getty Doja Cat has been holding a few bags of Ls this year, and another one was just recently collected. The rapper and racist chat room enthusiast revealed she’s contracted COVID-19 after initially mocking the disease online. Earlier in the year, the “Say So” star likened COVID-19 to being nothing more than a glorified remix of the flu, which we need to remind folks is also a potentially life-ending condition. During one of her infamous Instagram Live sessions, Doja Cat wasn’t about to take coronavirus all that seriously despite rampant rising numbers and deaths nationwide and globally. What made matters worse was Doja’s defiant IDGAF attitude that turned most heads. In a new radio interview with Captial XTRA, Doja revealed she had a bout with COVID-19 recently and ...
Doja Cat Got COVID-19 After Calling Those Scared Of It ‘Pussy’
Karma’s a bitch, just ask Doja Cat. During an interview with Capital Xtra, the rapper revealed that she contracted COVID-19. “I got COVID,” she confessed. “Honestly, I don’t know how this happens, but I guess I ordered something off of Postmates, and … I don’t know how I got it, but I got it … I’m OK now, it was a four-day symptom freakout, but I’m fine now.” The diagnosis comes after Doja mocked the virus’ severity in an Instagram live video, calling it nothing more than “a flu” and anyone scared of it “pussy.” “Bitch, I’m not scared of a coronavirus or the motherfucking beer version of that shit,” the 24-year-old declared at the time. “I’m gonna get corona and then I’m gonna get a Corona, cos I don’t give a fuck about corona, bitch. It’s a flu!” “I’m not scared. Y’all are pussy, period,”...
