Music BTS is trying to kill me The BTS team, which includes the band members themselves, and their managers, and their social media marketing experts, are taking western artists to school right now because, Jesus, the amount of content that they’ve been dropping with the release of their new album, Map of the Soul: 7, is By Lainey • Mar 04, 2020 11:56 am

Douchebags Mandy Moore’s Silver Landings Mandy Moore has a new album coming out this week called Silver Landings. This is a great time for her, the last few years, and now, with the success of This Is Us, she’s been able to leverage some of her accumulated capital into her music.

Maple Leaf Celine’s week in New York You guys, I’ve just realised that we’re now in March 2020 and this is my first post about Celine Dion all year, what the F-CK. Sorry. It’s just that there haven’t been all that many pictures. She also lost her ma a month ago and, well, By Lainey • Mar 02, 2020 01:53 pm
Maple Leaf Alanis: “Reasons I Drink” It’s music video week. Here’s another one and I think, of all the videos we’ve talked about today, including BTS, and I do LOVE BTS so much, and their video is epic and wonderful, but this one might be the one that affected me most. That’s By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 03:18 pm
Music BTS “ON” Film It’s music video day so let’s keep it going. Not that it’s a competition but what was the biggest video that’s dropped today? It depends on how you measure “big”, right? And there’s no one right way to measure it. Taylor Swift is a global By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 01:00 pm
Music Harry Styles too I would like to go back and rewrite today’s open and take out the word “apparently” and replace it somewhere with definitely because it IS in fact music video release week. Taylor Swift, BTS, SZA and Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga tonight at midnight. And also Harry Styles. FALLING. TOMORROW. By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 11:38 am
Music SZA: JT’s better side The sequel to Trolls, Trolls World Tour, is coming out in April. I didn’t see the first movie. I don’t plan on seeing the second movie. But I am, like you, familiar with the song that came out of Trolls: Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop The Feeling” By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 09:46 am
Music Taylor Swift is “The Man” Taylor Swift’s strength is not subtlety. And she leans all the way into that – or away from it – in her video for “The Man”, which she directed, wrote, owns, and stars in. Sure, there may be some Easter eggs for her fans throughout, but for those who don’t By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 09:14 am
Music Intro for February 27, 2020 Dear Gossips, Apparently it’s music video release week.

Music BTS Carpool Karaoke I feel vindicated today. Sasha’s been mocking my BTS obsession for weeks. This morning she texted, probably after watching them on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. Her message: “I do think my goal is to laugh as much as BTS.” Exactly. That’s exactly why, as I wrote yesterday, By Lainey • Feb 26, 2020 01:56 pm

Quiveration BTS: The Dirty Hair Era If you’re new to BTS, one of the most basic things to know about the band is that their career has progressed through eras. I don’t want to get too granular about this but an era for BTS isn’t exactly limited to a one album cycle – sometimes By Lainey • Feb 21, 2020 03:21 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Intro for February 21, 2020 Dear Gossips, Beyoncé has been pretty quiet since the IVY PARK x adidas drop. That’s the way of our Queen. She never lets us know what she’s doing until she’s good and ready to let us know what she’s been doing. If she’s doing anything. By Lainey • Feb 21, 2020 09:39 am
