I saw Tinashe last night, and I still cannot believe how loud the crowd was. Being there, it felt as loud as some stadium shows I’ve been to.

The debate over Olivia Rodrigo’s Christmas song speaks to a larger problem in the music industry. Songwriters deserve credit when their work is used, and artists should be able to share what inspires them without the internet treating it like a confession.

Pause for one minute, and listen to Ariana Grande live loop “eternal sunshine” because it’s one of the most magical things I’ve ever witnessed at a concert. @arianagrande #arianagrande #eternalsunshine #barclayscenter #livemusic #arianator

My 2027 Grammy Album of the Year predictions: • Olivia Dean • Olivia Rodrigo • Bruno Mars • Rosalía • Taylor Swift • RAYE • Ella Langley • and… Noah Kahan or Madonna? Predicting a nomination does not mean I think it’s deserved. Who is your top pick?

Taylor Swift brought The Life of a Showgirl back almost a year later, right before Grammy voting kicks off. One new song is solid, one is among her worst, and somehow The Encore makes my biggest problem with the original album even worse. Full reaction:

Olivia Rodrigo’s first Christmas song, “take me home (4 christmas),” is exactly what I expected: playful, bratty, and distinctly Olivia. Is it a new holiday classic? Most likely not, but it's still a fun listen. Watch my full reaction →

Taylor Swift just did the exact thing she said she wasn't going to do. After announcing The Life of A Showgirl last year and saying there's no deluxe edition, she's now releasing The Encore almost one year later... and I'm excited to hear if she reacted to its mixed feedback.

Miley Cyrus at the Hollywood Bowl left me torn: a dream night as a fan, but a performance that left me wanting more. The deep cuts & Dolly Parton tribute felt most connected to Miley while the big hits became singalongs. Does Miley even want the career fans imagine for her?

Miley Cyrus’ Bass Persuades went from number 1 to 157 on the Billboard 200 in just one week, the biggest drop from number one ever for a female artist. But this is bigger than Miley. It says a lot about how pop albums are marketed in 2026, where so much energy goes into winning release week and not enough goes into building an era that lasts. More on the Miley chart drop, Taylor Swift, Olivia Dean, Holly Humberstone, Slayyyter, and this week’s biggest music stories in today’s Pop Pulse. L!nk in b!o. #MileyCyrus #popmusic #musicindustry #billboard #musicreview

Taylor Swift officially has 16 #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, so I ranked every single one from "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" to "Patient Zero." My full Substack piece goes deeper on every placement and why each song landed where it did →

Miley Cyrus had every reason to play things safe after “Something Beautiful.” Instead, she chose to keep pushing boundaries. “Bass Persuades” is dark, menacing electropop, and needless to say, it persuaded me. My full reaction is up at :)

I was lucky enough to watch Miley Cyrus’ “Something Beautiful” visual album tonight, and it’s the best album she’s ever made. @MileyCyrus #SomethingBeautiful

Miley Cyrus’ new album “Bass Persuades” takes her into a darker, grimier and more experimental/industrial world, but after my first listen, I’m still waiting for it to fully persuade me. My full album reaction to Bass Persuades will be on my Substack at

Was 2025 a mid year for music? Here are five albums that dropped in 2025 that are too good to leave behind, including Rosalia’s “LUX,” Miley Cyrus’ “Something Beautiful,” Lady Gaga’s “Mayhem,” Olivia Dean’s “The Art of Loving,” and Lorde’s “Virgin.” @La Rosalia @Miley Cyrus @ladygaga @Olivia Dean @Lorde #popmusic #albumreview #musicrecommendations #bestof2025 #songrecommendations
