Hayley Williams is happy to confirm that Morgan Wallen is the "racist country singer" she is referring to in her song " Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party." During a recent interview on the New York Times' " Popcast" to discuss her latest solo album, the Paramore lead singer was asked whether she would like to "name names" to reveal who she means when she sings about being "the biggest star / At this racist country singer's bar" in the title track. "It could be a couple but I'm always talking about Morgan Wallen," Williams said. "I don't give a s-. Find me at Whole Foods, b-, I don't care."
Hotties already know that Megan is partial to a NSFW sartorial look that swaps plunging necklines for a major underboob moment. Case in point: When the "WAP" singer debuted her new Walmart swimsuit collection on the cover of Who What Wear this summer (while clad in nothing but a lilac purple string bikini that showed off an inch of lower-boob cleavage).
While reporting on the Eurovision Song Contest, the New Yorker 's Anthony Lane asked a man named Seppo, from the seven-hundred-strong Eurovision Fan Club of Norway, what he loved about Eurovision. 'Brotherhood of man,' he said - a slightly ambiguous answer, because that was the name of a British group that entered, and won, the contest in 1976. And the concept has a longer history in European music than that:

The closing weekend of Neo Kaos Garden at Ibiza's colossal new venue, [UNVRS], was less a party and more a vibrant, collective odyssey into a world where art, music, and technology violently and joyously collided. The event, a partnership between the legendary party organisers elrow and the visionary artist Okuda San Miguel, was described by Okuda as a "digital circus," a 2.0 version of his psychedelic universe brought to life with geometric creatures, moving stages, and a 360-degree immersive spectacle.
A federal judge again threw out a lawsuit by a man who accused grunge rock band Nirvana of distributing child sexual abuse images by using a photograph of him as a naked, swimming baby on the cover of its breakthrough 1991 album Nevermind. US District Judge Fernando Olguin tossed out the lawsuit filed by plaintiff Spencer Elden for a second time after finding that no reasonable jury would consider the picture pornographic.
I told them I was not but they insisted that I was, even when I expressed my truth otherwise. I understand they concluded that I had been sex trafficked and involved in 'forced prostitution.' I did not agree with that conclusion. I was not trafficked. I did not engage in prostitution with him or others.
We start in "The Garden Spot," where a chorus of Rocky Mountain toads introduces a bright clarinet melody. No mere scene-setting or shorthand, field recordings are integral here and throughout the album; the instrumentation accompanies the sounds of nature rather than overpowering them. When Sage works his studio magic to sound like a full band, as on "Witch Grass," one pictures it jamming on the back porch on a starry night with the full participation of the surrounding creatures-at one point, the session pauses and
Growing up in Veracruz, Lucia Gutierrez Rebolloso was weaned on the percussive, celebratory sound of son jarocho, performing in her family's ensemble before she started grade school. She hasn't left her Mexican roots behind, but these days the Harlem-based singer, who records and performs under the single moniker Lucia, is one of the most sought after young artists in jazz.

But the masters rights for her first six albums - which means the actual recorded versions of her songs and music videos - belonged to her first label, Big Machine Records, as is standard in the music industry.
