The 9 Best "SNL" Musical Performances of the 21st Century!
For "Reliquia", she sang almost motionless while standing en pointe, sparking debate among professional dancers about what clever stage machinery was involved to make that possible. Later, she performed "Magnolias" beneath a downpour of artificial rain, her white gown becoming sheerer and clingier as the song went on. Oh, and she sounded great, too. The "SNL" stage famously offers artists a high-stakes opportunity: a few minutes with millions of eyes on them, and exactly one chance to get it right.
TRACK BY TRACK: Troye Sivan's 'She's The Best'
Throughout the record, Sivan puts two versions of himself at odds: the one who feels perfectly at home in a crowd, and the one who yearns for someone to go home with after the party. He’s both a feverish hedonist and an introspective romantic. The further you get into the tracklist, the harder it becomes to separate the two. In a TikTok-ified music landscape that’s hellbent on building songs around one catchy hook, Sivan makes music that rewards you for listening from start to finish.
Witchy Is The New Black
You might’ve noticed that a coven was assembled at this year’s VMAs. Teyana Taylor, Charli XCX, PinkPantheress, Ella Bright, Normani, Adam Lambert, and Bebe Rexha are only some of the celebrities who stepped out in witchy ensembles. We imagine anyone who walked that red carpet without a bit of a gothic vibe felt like they missed the memo.

Tinashe Has Been a 'Popstar': Now The World Is Catching Up
On September 25, Tinashe released her 8th studio album, Popstar, and if she hasn’t been on your radar, that’s about to change.
An October Worth Romanticizing: Your Fall Media Guide!
One of the best parts of getting absorbed in another world is getting to test-drive a different way of moving through life and come away with a slightly better sense of what you want from your own. Maybe it makes you want to dress differently, stay out later, start writing letters, ride a motorcycle, or simply stop spending every day exactly the same way. Sometimes, the right movie, TV show, book, or album is enough to remind you that your routine is not actually a binding contract.
A Season For Making Things (Badly)
We’re bringing that energy back. As you get older, the pressure to be good at what you do can get in the way of enjoying it — or trying something new altogether. But cooler weather is the perfect excuse to pick up an indoor hobby, regardless of whether you have any talent for it. And if you suck at it, who cares? You’re inside. No one has to know. So, here are a few ways to put your hands to work and your talents (if any) to the test.
The Electro-Pop Iceberg: 10 Albums/EPs To Take You Off The Deep End!
Noisier, harsher, and more electronic sounds that once lived at the fringes of the mainstream are showing up at its center more, and more often — a shift Charli XCX’s Brat seemed to accelerate. Which raises the obvious question: if Brat is mainstream, what isn’t? Of course, terms like "electronic pop" and "experimental pop" are broad enough to become meaningless pretty quickly.
5 Songs That Prove Troye Sivan Deserves More Credit
Troye Sivan started out as a boy filming YouTube videos in his Perth bedroom; then, against considerable historical precedent, he became better known for his music. More than a decade later, he’s got enough reach for SNL to do a skit about his underwear, but a surprising amount of his catalogue still feels under-explored. With his fourth album She’s the Best arriving October 9, now’s the time to revisit some of Troye’s buried gems before the pile gets any bigger.
Adéla’s 'Prima' Is For Anyone Sick of Being Nonchalant!
Brimming with glossy, hook-heavy pop, it marks a departure from her prior EP, The Provocateur, which was as brash sonically as it was visually (I mean, have you seen that cover?). On Prima, Adéla trades confrontation for charm, trying on the many pop lanes she could occupy — and clearly sees herself occupying.
