Fans lost it when Brad Pitt wore a skirt on a promo tour for his new movie Bullet Train in Paris last week. His groundbreaking fashion choice is proof that male skirts are here to stay and he’s not the first Hollywood superstar to put this fashion craze on the map.

Billy Porter

Billy Porter is one of the leaders when it comes to gender non-conforming looks, and skirts and dresses are a staple of his show-stopping red carpet outfits.

Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X is also constantly pushing boundaries with his bold fashion choices. We’ve seen him wear skirts everywhere from his live performances to red carpet events and talk show appearances.

Oscar Isaac

Skits were all the rage at the Met Gala this year. Several male celebrities hit the red carpet in Thom Browne’s signature skirt designs and Oscar Isaac gave us a major skirt alert with his look.

Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny also attended this year’s Met Gala wearing a skirt, but this punk-inspired look proves he’s no stranger to wearing skirts off the red carpet.

J Balvin

Reggaeton superstar also doesn’t shy away from wearing skirts and he rocked several different designs of varying lengths in this photo.

The Grammy Awards took place on Sunday with Jon Batiste and Silk Sonic taking top awards by the end of the night. The live show gave us more amazing performances than we can count and here are five that created the most buzz and got everyone talking.

Olivia Rodrigo – “Drivers License”

We’ve already seen many live performances of Rodrigo’s breakout hit “Drivers License”, but it’s always fun to see what’s she’ll come up with next and her Grammy performance perfectly summed up the song’s nostalgic vibe.

Lil Nas X – “Montero” Medley

Lil Nas X brought some amazing choreography to the Grammys with his futuristic medley of the best songs from his album Montero, including “Dead Right Now,” “Montero” & “Industry Baby”.

BTS – “Butter”

We can count on BTS to go viral and give us an amazing dance performance every time they hit the stage, and they certainly didn’t disappoint when they performed their chart-topping hit “Butter” at the Grammys.

Billie Eilish – “Happier Than Ever”

Billie Eilish didn’t win any Grammys this time around, but her performance of “Happier Than Ever” was a consolation prize for her fans. She used it to pay tribute to the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

“In Memoriam” Tribute

Cynthia Erivo, Ben Platt, Rachel Zeglel, and Leslie Odom Jr. came together for the “In Memoriam” tribute and performed a touching medley paying homage to the late Stephen Sondheim.

Check out the complete Grammys show below.

This year has been full of amazing music and picking the top ones is challenging. But some artists have really brought their A-game in 2021 and these are the top five albums of the year. Did your favorites make the list?

Olivia Rodrigo – Sour

Olivia Rodrigo is definitely the biggest rising star of 2021, and she knocked it out of the park with her debut album Sour, which produced No. 1 hits “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U”.

Adele – 30

It’s been over five years since Adele released a new album, but 30 was worth the wait. It became the highest-selling album of 2021 only a few weeks after its release and its lead single “Easy on Me” is still leading the charts around the world.

Drake – Certified Lover Boy

Drake never struggled to top the charts with his new album, and he exceeded our wildest expectations with Certified Lover Boy. In addition to spending five weeks at No. 1, this LP set the all-time record for the most top-ten singles from one album.

Lil Nas X – Montero

Lil Nas X’s debut album Montero never even hit No. 1, but that didn’t stop it from being one of the most talked-about LPs of 2021 and producing two No. 1 hits—”Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” and “Industry Baby” ft. Jack Harlow.

Doja Cat – Planet Her

Speaking of albums that never hit No. 1, but still managed to become one of the biggest cultural milestones of 2021, Doja Cat’s Planet Her also falls under that category.

If you take a closer look at all the songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart this fall, you’ll notice a familiar pattern. All the tracks that reached no. 1 in the past few weeks saw two or more artists joining forces, and that’s the case with these three chart-topping singles.

“Stay” – The Kid Laroi ft. Justin Bieber

If we had to pick a single song that’s been dominating Billboard Hot 100 in the past few months, it would definitely be this one. The Kid Laroi’s collaboration with his idol Justin Bieber managed to stay on top for seven weeks, becoming one of the longest-running no. 1 singles of the year.

“Industry Baby” – Lil Nas X ft. Jack Harlow

“Industry Baby” debuted at no. 2 when it originally came out back in July, and its climb to the top was a joy to watch. Its surge to no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 was pushed by the release of two new versions, one with an alternative digital single cover and an extended mix.

“Way 2 Sexy”  – Drake ft. Future and Young Thug

Drake broke the record for the highest number of top-10 singles from one album making it to the Billboard Hot 100, but only one could reach the top. “Way 2 Sexy” put his new LP Certified Lover Boy on the map, and it became his latest collaboration to hit no. 1.

TikTok is teaming up with artists to release an NFT (non-fungible tokens) collection titled “TikTok Moments” and Lil Nas X will be the first artist dropping them. The collection will feature six TikTok videos as one-of-a-kind NFTs as well as a series of limited-edition NFTs inspired by cultural moments from the platform. So how do the NFTs work?

TikTok will be auctioning tokens weekly in October with the proceeds going to the creators and NFT artists involved. Lil Nas X will be the first creator to launch one-of-a-kind and limited-edition TikTok NFTs with artist Rudy Willingham. They will feature Willingham’s viral stop-motion video of the artist’s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” with each of the 81 frames having Willingham’s signature cutouts, photographed against a background that “reflects a different part of [Lil Nas X’s] genius,” according to TikTok.

Bella Poarch, Curtis Roach, Brittany Broski, FNMeka, Jess Marciante, and Gary Vaynerchuk, who are partnering with NFT artists including Coin Artist, x0r, RTFKT, and Grimes, are also releasing TikTok NFTs.

“As the creator economy continues to grow, we’re continually looking for new and differentiated ways to support our creators,” said Nick Tran, TikTok’s global head of marketing via Variety. “Now, fans can own a moment on TikTok that helped shape the internet while supporting some of their favorite creators.”

Lil Nas X’s will be released on October 6.

Lil Nas X’s debut album Montero was released last week to rave reviews and gave us many epic tracks. Some of them saw the Grammy-winning rapper join forces with some of our favorite artists, and here are five amazing collaborations that made us fall in love with this album.

“Industry Baby” ft. Jack Harlow

“Industry Baby” gave us a taste of things to come and served as one of the promotional singles for Montero. In addition to featuring Jack Harlow, this song also credits Kanye West as one of the producers.

“Am I Dreaming” ft. Miley Cyrus

This amazing collaboration between Lil Nas X and Miley Cyrus was a long time coming, especially since he previously collaborated with her dad Billy Ray Cyrus on “Old Town Road”.

“Scoop” ft. Doja Cat

Doja Cat and Lil Nas X both dedicated their careers to changing the way we look at rap and experimenting with many different genres, and “Scoop” proves they’re a match made in heaven.

“Dolla Sign Slime” ft. Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion is the queen of amazing collaborations, and her verse is pretty much the best part of “Dolla Sign Slime”.

“One of Me” ft. Elton John

Lil Nas X and Elton John may not sound like the most obvious duo, but they share the same love for showmanship and their collaboration is one of Montero’s poppiest songs.

It’s difficult to think of a current celebrity who’s better at marketing themselves than Lil Nas X. The Gen-Z rapper doesn’t shy away from anything when it comes to promoting his new music, and he’s taking things to a whole new level with his upcoming album Montero.

Album Cover

Lil Nas X’s really kept us waiting for his album cover, but it was worth the wait. Montero is hitting the shelves on September 17, and the cover art shows the rapper levitating in the air in the technicolor version of the Garden of Eden, inspired by John Stephens’ painting Genesis II.

Tracklist Announcement

Shortly after sharing the album cover with the world, Lil Nas X shared a full tracklist. In addition to featuring previously released singles “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)”, “Sun Goes Down”, and the Jack Harlow collaboration “Industry Baby”. Montero will also feature collaboration with Elton John, Megan Thee Stallion, Miley Cyrus, and Doja Cat.

Pregnancy Stunt

Shortly after Drake dropped the meme-worthy cover of his latest album Certified Lover Boy, Lil Nas X joined in the fun and shared his own version, featuring twelve pregnant men emojis. He also posted a divisive pregnancy photoshoot with a fake baby bump and explained he decided to do it as a joke because his album is his baby.

Lil Nas X recently announced his debut album, Montero, with a short Marvel-inspired trailer, but he’s been teasing it for a long time before that. There’s still a lot of mystery surrounding certain aspects of his debut LP, but here’s everything you should know before it hits the shelves.

Title and Release Date

Lil Nas X’s first album takes its title from the rapper’s given name Montero Lamar Hill, but its release date is still a mystery. The recent album trailer simply states that Montero is “coming soon”, and industry insiders expect it will hit the shelves later this summer.

Track List

According to the trailer that Lil Nas X shared with his fans, Montero will feature three of his previously released songs—“Montero (Call Me by Your Name)”, “Holiday”, and “Sun Goes Down”. “Montero” created a lot of buzz for this album with its provocative music video and debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the rapper’s second no. 1 hit.

Coming-of-Age Story

When it comes to Lil Nas X’s vision for his first studio album, he discussed it during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He said his entire life was leading up to this album, and that he wanted it to be honest and 100% him.

“I’m exploring my sexuality, my self. It’s a coming-of-age story. My heartbreaks, there’s been a lot of those. It’s everything. it’s something everyone can vibe along to,” explained the Grammy-winning artist.

We can always count on the BET Awards to give us an epic ceremony, and it definitely didn’t disappoint this year. In addition to amazing performances by our favorite artists, this year’s show gave us several viral moments that immediately broke the internet.

Cardi B’s Pregnancy Reveal

Cardi B was the talk of the night at this year’s BET Awards—and not only because shared two awards for her smash hit “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion. She also announced her pregnancy while performing alongside Migos, revealing her baby bump in a sparkly jumpsuit.

Zendaya’s Beyoncé Tribute

If we had to pick a single dress that everyone was talking about after BET Awards, it would be Zendaya’s flowy Versace frock. If you think it looks familiar, you’re not wrong—it’s actually a homage to a similar dress that Beyoncé wore during her first solo performance at BET Awards in 2003 when she performed “Crazy in Love”.

Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X has a habit of breaking the internet with each new live performance of his chart-topping hit “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)”. He did it again with a “royal rendition” of this song at BET Awards, which ended with a kiss with one of his backup dancers.

Recording artists come with many creative ways to put their new songs on the map. Alternative music videos are a pretty common strategy these days, and here are three artists who recently topped the charts after embracing it.

Lil Nas X – Montero (Call Me By Your Name)

Lil Nas X did such a great job promoting “Montero” that he didn’t even need to release alternative music videos, but he still did it. The official video was followed by several silly renditions, including one inside the bathroom of hell, a fake official video that shows random clips of the singer and his friends, and a lo-fi version that you can study to.

Cardi B – Up

Like many fellow artists, Cardi B shared the audio and lyrics video of her latest chart-topping single “Up”, but she didn’t stop there. She also dropped a “mood board visualizer” featuring behind-the-scenes photos and footage about a month after the original video came out.

Justin Bieber – Peaches

Justin Bieber often uses this strategy to give his new singles a push, and he’s doing it again with his latest single “Peaches”. In addition to the official music video featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, you can find several alternative videos for this track on his YouTube channel.

Lil Nas X will be the first creator to launch one-of-a-kind and limited-edition TikTok NFTs with artist Rudy Willingham. They will feature Willingham’s viral stop-motion video of the artist’s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” with each of the 81 frames having Willingham’s signature cutouts, photographed against a background that “reflects a different part of [Lil Nas X’s] genius,” according to TikTok.

Bella Poarch, Curtis Roach, Brittany Broski, FNMeka, Jess Marciante, and Gary Vaynerchuk, who are partnering with NFT artists including Coin Artist, x0r, RTFKT, and Grimes, are also releasing TikTok NFTs.

“As the creator economy continues to grow, we’re continually looking for new and differentiated ways to support our creators,” said Nick Tran, TikTok’s global head of marketing via Variety. “Now, fans can own a moment on TikTok that helped shape the internet while supporting some of their favorite creators.”

Lil Nas X’s will be released on October 6.

Lil Nas X’s debut album Montero was released last week to rave reviews and gave us many epic tracks. Some of them saw the Grammy-winning rapper join forces with some of our favorite artists, and here are five amazing collaborations that made us fall in love with this album.

“Industry Baby” ft. Jack Harlow

“Industry Baby” gave us a taste of things to come and served as one of the promotional singles for Montero. In addition to featuring Jack Harlow, this song also credits Kanye West as one of the producers.

“Am I Dreaming” ft. Miley Cyrus

This amazing collaboration between Lil Nas X and Miley Cyrus was a long time coming, especially since he previously collaborated with her dad Billy Ray Cyrus on “Old Town Road”.

“Scoop” ft. Doja Cat

Doja Cat and Lil Nas X both dedicated their careers to changing the way we look at rap and experimenting with many different genres, and “Scoop” proves they’re a match made in heaven.

“Dolla Sign Slime” ft. Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion is the queen of amazing collaborations, and her verse is pretty much the best part of “Dolla Sign Slime”.

“One of Me” ft. Elton John

Lil Nas X and Elton John may not sound like the most obvious duo, but they share the same love for showmanship and their collaboration is one of Montero’s poppiest songs.

It’s difficult to think of a current celebrity who’s better at marketing themselves than Lil Nas X. The Gen-Z rapper doesn’t shy away from anything when it comes to promoting his new music, and he’s taking things to a whole new level with his upcoming album Montero.

Album Cover

Lil Nas X’s really kept us waiting for his album cover, but it was worth the wait. Montero is hitting the shelves on September 17, and the cover art shows the rapper levitating in the air in the technicolor version of the Garden of Eden, inspired by John Stephens’ painting Genesis II.

Tracklist Announcement

Shortly after sharing the album cover with the world, Lil Nas X shared a full tracklist. In addition to featuring previously released singles “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)”, “Sun Goes Down”, and the Jack Harlow collaboration “Industry Baby”. Montero will also feature collaboration with Elton John, Megan Thee Stallion, Miley Cyrus, and Doja Cat.

Pregnancy Stunt

Shortly after Drake dropped the meme-worthy cover of his latest album Certified Lover Boy, Lil Nas X joined in the fun and shared his own version, featuring twelve pregnant men emojis. He also posted a divisive pregnancy photoshoot with a fake baby bump and explained he decided to do it as a joke because his album is his baby.

We can always count on the BET Awards to give us an epic ceremony, and it definitely didn’t disappoint this year. In addition to amazing performances by our favorite artists, this year’s show gave us several viral moments that immediately broke the internet.

Cardi B’s Pregnancy Reveal

Cardi B was the talk of the night at this year’s BET Awards—and not only because shared two awards for her smash hit “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion. She also announced her pregnancy while performing alongside Migos, revealing her baby bump in a sparkly jumpsuit.

Zendaya’s Beyoncé Tribute

If we had to pick a single dress that everyone was talking about after BET Awards, it would be Zendaya’s flowy Versace frock. If you think it looks familiar, you’re not wrong—it’s actually a homage to a similar dress that Beyoncé wore during her first solo performance at BET Awards in 2003 when she performed “Crazy in Love”.

Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X has a habit of breaking the internet with each new live performance of his chart-topping hit “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)”. He did it again with a “royal rendition” of this song at BET Awards, which ended with a kiss with one of his backup dancers.

Recording artists come with many creative ways to put their new songs on the map. Alternative music videos are a pretty common strategy these days, and here are three artists who recently topped the charts after embracing it.

Lil Nas X – Montero (Call Me By Your Name)

Lil Nas X did such a great job promoting “Montero” that he didn’t even need to release alternative music videos, but he still did it. The official video was followed by several silly renditions, including one inside the bathroom of hell, a fake official video that shows random clips of the singer and his friends, and a lo-fi version that you can study to.

Cardi B – Up

Like many fellow artists, Cardi B shared the audio and lyrics video of her latest chart-topping single “Up”, but she didn’t stop there. She also dropped a “mood board visualizer” featuring behind-the-scenes photos and footage about a month after the original video came out.

Justin Bieber – Peaches

Justin Bieber often uses this strategy to give his new singles a push, and he’s doing it again with his latest single “Peaches”. In addition to the official music video featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, you can find several alternative videos for this track on his YouTube channel.
