Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or so they say. In that case, Meghan Trainor’s Toy With Me is the biggest compliment anyone could ever pay Sabrina Carpenter. Between the sexy pastel babydoll aesthetic, glitzy production, cheeky hooks, (attempts at) winking innuendo, and even the stupid banged wig in every visualizer, there’s very little on the “All About That Bass” singer’s latest album that does not have the Short n’ Sweet star in its DNA. What doesn’t scream Sabrina, though, screams someone else: “Chef’s Kiss” echoes Taylor Swift’s “Karma”; “Rich Man” feels a little too close to aespa’s hit of the same name from last year. None of this compares to the closing track, “Shimmer,” which is so close to Tate McRae’s “Just Keep Watching” that a future lawsuit wouldn’t be surprising. The bridge is nearly identical to McRae’s chorus, down to lines like “Just do it like this, break your back”—shockingly similar to McCrae’s “Goes like this, start with the track / Eyes on me, archin’ my back.” You have to wonder what the hell Trainor’s team was thinking.

    Is MICHAEL Really The Worst Movie of The Year?

Michael is aiming for a record-breaking opening weekend. It’s also a critical flop. In a vacuum, the Michael Jackson biopic might sound like a perfectly palatable film. The movie stars Jackson’s real-life nephew Jaafar Jackson as the titular singer, following his childhood through the height of his career in the 1980s with non-stop musical sequences of the King of Pop’s greatest hits. But Michael Jackson’s legacy is more than just music. Audiences and critics alike are panning Michael for glossing over the dark side of Jackson’s life, proving that it takes more than a famous subject to make a biopic a critical success—even while Jackson’s star power propels the movie to a box office of $70 million its debut weekend.

    The Coachella 2026 Chaos, Explained (Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber)

Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGMQbVfYVmI TIMESTAMPS 0:00 New Year Same Beef 2:17 Justin Bieber Karaoke Hour 6:02 Sabrina Carpenter Controversy 12:04 Final Thoughts When Justin Bieber took the stage at Coachella on Saturday night, the performance quickly became the most contested headline set in recent festival history, drawing intense scrutiny that extended far beyond questions of vocals or production design and into a broader conversation about how live performance is interpreted within a media environment shaped by constant circulation, commentary and reinterpretation. Bieber reportedly earned close to $10 million for the appearance, placing the set among the highest-paid in Coachella history, yet the creative execution leaned heavily into minimalism, with the defining segment centered on a prolonged onstage “YouTube time capsule” in which he played viral clips, early career footage and fragments of older songs from a laptop, creating a deliberately fragmented and referential structure that resembled an internet browsing session more than a conventional festival headlining arc. Coverage from outlets like Entertainment Weekly and Business Insider emphasized this structural choice as the defining characteristic of the show, while The Guardian noted the strength of his vocal delivery even within the restrained staging.

Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wORZ2b-3lNc But four years since its last season and seven years since it began, "Euphoria" has come back to a completely different zeitgeist ‒ and not just because Sydney Sweeney, Zendaya and newly minted Oscar nominee Jacob Elordi are all bona fide A-listers bigger than the show. The world has changed, the stars have changed and "Euphoria" (Sundays, 9 ET/PT, ★★ out of four) has changed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"I feel like I'm hungover, but I'm not. It's just an emotional hangover. Last night was the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary premiere," Cooper began, speaking to the camera on her Instagram Stories. "And I'm just in my feels right now I think, because I got to go with my [childhood] best friend," who was also a huge Hannah Montana fan. Cooper said that growing up, she and her friend remade Hannah's music videos and made skits about the singer. They joined the Hannah Montana fan club and went to the Meet Miley Cyrus/Best of Both Worlds Tour. “I’ve gotten to do so much in my career that I’m so grateful for, but I think this one hit different because it was so connected to my childhood."
