April Gloria: Taylor Swift lookalike

If Taylor Swift had a twin, April Gloria would be her. The New Jersey native who started cosplaying in May 2013, took on another sort of role when shortly after family, friends and strangers alike couldn't help but notice how much she resembled the pop-star. As one pop culture writer put it — April looks more like Taylor than Taylor does. Since taken on her forced fame, she's been featured in the pages of Elle, Teen Vogue, People, Maxim, and on sites such as Buzzfeed, The Daily Mail and many more. When she's not creating content for her 200,000 fans on Facebook, or 90,000 followers on Instagram — April makes her home with her husband in Kansas, where she spends her days working at a factory. So what must it be like to be a lookalike to a big time celebrity? Is she constantly being mistaken for Taylor? What do her family and friends think? We asked her all of this.

Dorie Golkin Smith & Emelyn Northway: Co-founders of Of Mercer

Of Mercer Co-founders Dorie Golkin Smith and Emelyn Northway met the first week of Wharton Business School at a welcome event … wearing the exact same black dress. Laughing over the initial awkwardness, they immediately bonded over their shared appreciation for their one, go-to confidence-inducing professional outfit. Having worked in consulting and finance for years, they knew there had to be a better way to get dressed for work 5 (or 6 or 7) days a week. The solution was simple: create a dedicated work-wear brand with a bold modern aesthetic to take women where they need to go. It seemed easy enough, but the endeavor was ambitious and something was missing…a creative, a designer, someone with fashion industry experience… Enter Aja Singer: Parsons grad and tailored clothing specialist. And with that Of Mercer was born. Though the label started as an e-commerce business model, the pair would go on to open their flagship store in New York City's Flatiron district located at 42 East 21st Street.

More recently Kyla has now re-entered the charts with a world smash but courtesy of OVO Sounds frontman Drake. Drake ft Kyla & Wizkid “one Dance” has quickly become a club/chart hit taking the number 1 spot in 33 countries, whilst holding the place in the UK for a month.

Rozes, Singer-Songwriter, The Chainsmokers, "Roses"

When it comes to the song you’re most likely to crank up this summer and jam out to with the windows down and sun-roof dropped back — it’ll most likely be The Chainsmokers, "Roses" featuring Rozes. The female voice you hear in the song that has taken over radio play (currently No. 3 on the American Top 40 chart) is that of the Philadelphia born Rozes, who, when speaking to her for the first time you get the sense that her career in the spotlight hasn’t reached peak. She tells Amore that she still feels relatively unknown. Which one might find hard to believe considering she's taken to the national spotlight several times, performing the hit song on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" and "The Late Late Show with James Corden." Aside from her massively successful collaboration, the starlet recently released her debut EP "Burn Wild" — a collective of reflections on modern day romance. Solidifying her position at the top of pop, Rozes will perform at SXSW 2016 in mid-March. Beyond SXSW, she's poised to play a few club dates around the country. More at http://www.AmorePodcast.com
