I am still processing all the BTS today. Basically cried all morning streaming the concert, their first tour show in four years. And then spent the rest of the morning watching fan-cams while waiting for Hot Ones to drop the new episode, howling through those 25 minutes because of all the chaos, the trademark BTS chaos. Honestly, I have no coherent thoughts, I may need some time to sort it all out, if that’s even possible.

Every time I think it might be possible, something like this comes across my feed and I’m a mess again. Livestreams are great… but like… we’d be nothing without fan-cams. Tae’s body-rolls here are devastating.

Even more powerful, for ARMY at least, than the body-rolls and the way the rain somehow made it that much sexier, is how obvious it was that they were having the time of their lives – with the fans and with each other. Here’s another one of Tae, hopped up on adrenaline and just pure desire to entertain.

There are just too many distractions, of the horny kind and also just straight up professional appreciation. As we have seen over the years, they are the best of the best on so many levels across their team in terms of production which includes all the staff members but when it comes to the artists themselves, their stage awareness and coordination is breathtaking. There were drones flying around while they were performing, which is impressive in and of itself considering how close to the stage they were – close enough for Jung Kook to casually beckon towards one, and the drone operator in a control room somewhere immediately responding to his request, and then he catches it and starts filming.

That’s the fan-cam angle of what happened. Now here’s what was on broadcast.

Seriously, it’s not just the sophistication of their technology, it’s how they have integrated it. Their capabilities are astounding. But, at the same time, RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and JK are also professional idiots, LOL, which is the version of themselves that we saw on Hot Ones today. Credit to the producer who knew to seat Hobi and Jin together, they must be ARMY. Because whenever the two of them are together for any situation that is even slightly intimidating, the result is always ridiculous – and by ridiculous I mean funny as f-ck. Every 10 seconds of this video is basically a meme, from Jin’s screaming to all of them sweating, to these babies being placated by ice cream, to “your body crying”, hahahaha forever. See? I told you, I’m BTS-delirious, I make no sense. 

 

What else happened today…

Not much, actually, and one of the reasons, at least in Hollywood, might be that people are getting ready for the Influencer Bowl, aka Coachella. Justin Bieber’s been heard at soundcheck, and it sounds like his set might be a retrospective, because he’s going back into his early catalogue, and also some of his early covers. Plus… what many consider to be his best song, “Sorry”.

Here’s Ema Sasic on why it’s the right time for JB to headline the festival. (Desert Sun)

If you’ve been wondering where Brie Larson is, Dustin at Pajiba has you covered. (Pajiba)

This isn’t my favourite thing that Rosamund Pike has ever worn… but I do love that black collar, and the dress does show it off very well. (Go Fug Yourself)

Taylor Swift stepped out for dinner with Ashley Avignone and Jerrod Carmichael last night in New York and everyone’s saying she’s already in wedding mode because of what she was wearing: a white slip skirt. Ashley was also in white.

Meanwhile, for those who want to model their engagement ring after Taylor’s, this is now an option. (E! Online)

To be honest, right now I’m more interested in the KitKat theft than Taylor’s wedding – because the missing KitKats have still not been found and here in Canada, KitKats are getting their own bodyguards, I’m deaddddd. (Celebitchy)
