Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey collected the honorary Chart Achievement Award at this year’s BBMAs, and spread holiday cheer with the very first award show performance of her timeless classic “All I Want for Christmas”.
Tate McRae
Only a day after making her Saturday Night Live debut, Tate McRae impressed us with her vocal abilities and epic dance moves with another performance of her TikTok hit “Greedy”.
Karol G
Only a few days after dominating the Latin Grammy Awards, Karol G came back to slay at the BBMAs, and delivered a show-stopping medley of her songs “Qlona”, “Labios Mordidos”, and “Ojos Ferrari”.
Bebe Rexha and David Guetta
The collaboration between Bebe Rexha and David Guetta is a gift that keeps on giving, and their latest performance merged their songs “I’m Good (Blue)” and “One In a Million” into one.
Stray Kids
Stray Kids always impress us with their live performances, and they knocked the BBMAs audience off their feet with an epic medley of their recent singles “S-Class” and “Lalalala”.

]]>The Recording Academy finally announced nominations for the Grammy Awards last week, with SZA leading the pack with nine nods. The list of nominees brought many snubs and surprises our way, and here are five that got everyone talking.
Surprise: Girl Power
In one of the most pleasant Grammy surprises this year, the main fields are more female-dominated than ever. Seven out of eight contenders for album of the year are female acts, including SZA, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Miley Cyrus.
Snub: Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
This year’s best pop duo/group performance field includes some worthy contenders, but it’s missing such smash hits as “Calm Down” by Selena Gomez and Rema, “Escapism” by Raye and 070 Shake, and “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” by PinkPantheress and Ice Spice.
Surprise: Victoria Monét
Victoria Monét’s big break was a long time coming, and it’s finally her moment to shine in the spotlight. The R&B singer is one of the most nominated artists this year with seven nods, including record of the year and best new artist.
Snub: Latin Artists
Several Latin artists were shockingly overlooked by the Recording Academy this year, including Peso Pluma for best new artist and Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito for album of the year.
Surprise: “Barbie” Love
It’s not a shocker to see Barbie: The Album be nominated for best soundtrack, but that’s just the beginning! Four out of five nominees for best song written for visual media hail from this movie, while Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” and Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” even scored nods for song of the year.

Surprise: Demi Lovato – “Swine”
Genre nominations at MTV VMAs aren’t always easy to predict, with the exception of the best pop video. This year’s nominations, however, delivered several shockers, starting with Demi Lovato’s “Swine”.
Snub: “Unholy” for Best Collaboration
Sam Smith and Kim Petras received several nominations for their collaboration “Uholy”, including video of the year and song of the year, so it’s quite a shocker to see that they’re not in the running for best collaboration.
Surprise: Karol G and Shakira – “TQG”
Seeing “Unoloy” left out of the best collaboration category didn’t sting too much since many deserving songs made the cut, including “TQG” by Karol G and Shakira.
Snub: Blackpink – “Pink Venom”
Blackpink’s “Pink Venom” was a K-pop song with the best chance to break into the major categories, but it failed to score nods for video and song of the year.
Surprise: Beyoncé
Beyoncé fully deserves to be in the running for artist of the year at MTV VMAs, but it’s pretty surprising to see her get her first nod for this award right now since she didn’t even release a new album this year.

]]>After several international editions of Lollapalooza took place all around the world this summer, the main event returned to Chicago’s Grant Park this weekend. This year’s festival has given us many epic performances, and we’re bringing you five that stole the show.
Karol G
Karol G’s Lollapalooza set was one for the books and she kicked off the festival’s opening day by making history as its very first Latina headliner.
Tomorrow x Together
Tomorrow x Together became the first South Korean act to ever headline Lollapalooza, but this wasn’t the only historic moment for K-pop music. NewJeans also performed at this year’s festival, becoming the first K-pop girl group to do so.
Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar’s Lollapalooza return was a long time coming, and his first performance at Chicago’s Grant Park in a decade reminded us how much amazing new music he’s given us in the past few years.
Billie Eilish
It’s been two years since the release of Billie Eilish’s last studio album, but that didn’t stop her from setting the Lollapalooza stage on fire with her biggest hits.
Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey’s headlining set at this year’s Glastonbury ended in disaster, with her set being cut short due to the festival’s strict curfew, but she redeemed herself by bringing Lollapalooza to an epic conclusion at the Bud Light stage.
