Miley Cyrus Offers To Counsel DaBaby After Homophobic Rant
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty DaBaby is currently a target of intense criticism after delivering a homophobic rant at Rolling Loud Miami and then doubling down on his ill-advised stances before finally apologizing. While the cancellation is still going strong, Miley Cyrus is offering to counsel the rapper from a kind place instead of one fueled by vitriol. Cyrus, 28, posted a lengthy message as a screenshot to her Instagram post offering to lend an ear and guidance to DaBaby, adding that she’s aware that he’s on everyone’s cancel list at the moment. From Instagram: As a proud and loyal member of the LGBTQIA+ community, much of my life has been dedicated to encouraging love, acceptance, and open mindedness,” she wrote. “The internet can fuel a lot of hate & ange...
Perry Farrell’s 5 Favorite Lollapalooza Moments
Lollapalooza has defied the old F. Scott Fitzgerald adage from The Last Tycoon that “there are no second acts in American life.” Since 2005, Perry Farrell and partners have hunkered down in Chicago’s Grant Park (for the American version) to bring the once-alternative playground that spit in the face of the mainstream more into the mainstream. Though this year’s fest’s impact is yet to be known, there’s no doubt in the festival’s 30 years (on and off at various points), Farrell has seen it and been through it. So, what better way than to get the best stories from Lollapalooza’s history than from Farrell himself? However, just as we got rolling, the Jane’s Addiction/Porno for Pyros didn’t pull any punches and came out of the gates firing. In fact, he blamed SPIN for him n...
Watch Miley Cyrus Cover Cocteau Twins’ ‘Heaven or Las Vegas’ in Las Vegas
What happens in Vegas usually stays in Vegas, but not this time. This past weekend fans gathered to celebrate the Fourth of July in Sin City were able to see Miley Cyrus perform at the opening celebration at Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World Las Vegas. What transpired next should surprise no one: another cover. But you probably weren’t expecting her to break out a 1990’s Cocteau Twins tune. “Now I’m gonna do a classic Miley — no, I’m not gonna show my titties are something — but I am gonna sing a song that no one fucking knows,” she said. “But you will know it after tonight. And I’ve seen the tweets — ‘Stop doing covers’ — but yet, somehow, ‘Jolene’ was requested. So one for me. This song is called ‘Heaven or Las Vegas’ for obvious reasons.” See Cyrus’s take on “Heaven or Las Vegas” by Cocteau ...
Miley Cyrus Covers Cher’s ‘Believe’ on Pride Month Special
Over the past year, Miley Cyrus has provided a grab bag of excellent covers ranging from artists like Nine Inch Nails, Hole, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Mazzy Star, Blondie and many, many more. So, it was only a matter of time before the pop star turned rocker took on Cher, right? That’s exactly what happened at her upcoming Pride special titled Stand By You that will air on Peacock later this week. Keeping with her love of the ’90s, Cyrus covered Cher’s 1998 hit “Believe” (though it would have been great to see her do “If I Could Turn Back Time”), check it out below. [embedded content] The rest of the set included covers of “True Colors,” “We Belong,” ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” and a slew of Madonna tunes. The Ryman Auditorium concert was recorded on June 8 and features artists like Orville Peck a...
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 ...

Austin City Limits Unveils a Lineup Fitting for Austin
As festivals finally return, it seems like each event is trying to outdo the competition by curating lineups that are a bit…unusual. This is a good thing! Usually, when these things are announced, there’s a logic behind who plays where. But yesterday’s Lollapalooza reveal had folks wondering what audience the event is for (apparently you can try to be everything for everyone) but today’s Austin City Limits lineup took that to another level, with a diverse slate of impressive acts. This year’s bill, which marks the fest’s 20th edition, will feature headlining artists George Strait, Billie Eilish, Stevie Nicks, Miley Cyrus, Erykah Badu, DaBaby and Rüfüs Du Sol. That’s some variety for you. Sure, there’s some of the 2021 standbys in the lineup, but that’s to be expected because you know, not ...

Miley Cyrus Plays ‘WITHOUT YOU’ and ‘Plastic Hearts’ on SNL
Last night, Miley Cyrus made her sixth appearance as Saturday Night Live’s musical guest. As promised, she performed her new collaboration with The Kid LAROI, “WITHOUT YOU,” as well as “Plastic Hearts.” Unfortunately, she didn’t pull double-duty this time around, leaving the hosting to Elon Musk. However, she did perform Dolly Parton’s “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” during the show’s cold open, which was an ode to the cast members’ mothers. Cyrus’ own mother, Trish Cyrus, appeared as well.

During the Super Bowl pregame festivities, she brought out Billy Idol and Joan Jett and covered the likes of Nine In...
Miley Cyrus to Play Elon Musk-Hosted Episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’
Saturday Night Live announced their latest episode pairing, and it’s a weird one. On May 8, Miley Cyrus is set to take the stage for an episode hosted by Elon Musk (no, that is not a typo). This will mark the Tesla CEO’s hosting debut and Cyrus’ sixth appearance as the show’s musical guest. While it’s assumed Cyrus will play tracks off her latest album, Plastic Hearts, you never know—she’s been covering everything from Queen to Nine Inch Nails during her recent performances. As for Musk, we have no idea what to expect, but we know it’s bound to be an interesting (and maybe a little cringy) episode and who knows, maybe Grimes will show up too.

Miley Cyrus Covers Queen, Blondie at NCAA Final Four Concert
Between Baylor’s beatdown of Houston and Gonzaga’s jaw-dropping buzzer beater win against UCLA, Miley Cyrus performed a rousing mini-concert at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium, where the NCAA Final Four took place on Saturday. The six-song set began with Cyrus strutting out of her dressing room, donning aviator sunglasses, a black vest, and tight black pants, while her band rocked out onstage. By the time she joined them, they transitioned to into Queen’s “We Are the Champions.” From there, she took on the band’s hits “We Will Rock You” and “Don’t Stop Me Now.” After singing her own song, “We Can’t Stop,” Cyrus covered Blondie’s “Heart of Glass.” She ended the performance with “Edge of Midnight,” her Stevie Nicks-assisted “Midnight Sky” remix off Plastic Hearts, and her own iconic tra...
Wuki’s Debut Album is “Part Rave, Part Circus, Part Amusement Park, and Part Art Installation”
Just one year ago, Wuki was prepping for the 2020 Grammy Awards, for which his flip of Miley Cyrus‘ “Mother’s Daughter” earned a nomination for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical. The most pressing matter on his mind was picking out a suit. “I’m living it up right now,” he told EDM.com last January. That reality now feels miles away, but the pandemic hasn’t kept Wuki from staying sharp in the studio. March 12th saw the official release of his debut album, WukiWorld, via HARD Recs. In fact, the pre-pandemic vision for the release was built around an IRL WukiWorld, which Wuki described as “part rave, part circus, part amusement park, and part art installation,” to EDM.com. “Upon entering, you would be ...
