Met Gala 2024 Met Gala couple speculation The Met Gala is tonight and I am already in Met-Mode, because I am just assuming that any celebrity in New York at this point is going to the Met Gala.

Mexican pop icon Thalia has a new album, “A Mucha Honra”, in which she incorporates contemporary sounds such as corridos tumbados, a trap-style take on more traditional corrido and sierreño sounds.
