That meant that I heard the question “who’s that?” directed at By Prem • Aug 27, 2019 10:16 am
Music Miley Cyrus’s Surprise Performance at the VMAs 2019 I have been obsessed with Miley’s “Slide Away” since she first released it a week and a half ago.

Music Shawmila’s Strategy for the VMAs On Saturday, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello shared another behind-the-scenes video of “Señorita”. I know nothing has been officially confirmed, even though they’ve kissed in public like a bajillion times, but watching this video convinces me that they were definitely f-cking before, during, and after “Señorita”.

To cap it all off, Miley dropped a new song last night called “Slide Away” that most people are assuming is about breaking up with Liam.

Douchebags Nobody asked for this It’s just so like him, isn’t it? Justin Timberlake is glomming on to Lizzo. Of course he is. Of course he had to flex. Of course he had to flaunt.
