Lady Gaga Calls Taylor Swift ‘Really Brave’ for Opening Up About Eating Disorder

Lady Gaga had some kind words for Taylor Swift recently. After a fan on TikTok posted footage from the former pop star’s Miss Americana Netflix documentary, the “Bloody Mary” singer left a sweet comment praising Swift on her courage while speaking about an extremely difficult topic: disordered eating.

The TikTok Gaga commented on featured one of the more heartbreaking clips from the 2020 documentary, in which Swift recalls how she used to eat too little and work out too much in order to maintain what she says was an unhealthy body weight.

“I’m a lot happier with who I am,” she says in the video. “I don’t care as much if somebody points out that I have gained weight … it’s just something that makes my life better, the fact that I’m a size six instead of a size double zero.”

“That wasn’t how my body was supposed to be — I just didn’t really understand that at the time,” added the “All Too Well” singer. “I did exercise a lot, but I wasn’t eating. There’s always some standard of beauty you aren’t meeting. It’s all just f–king impossible.”

One of hundreds of people leaving messages of support for Swift on the TikTok clip was none other than Lady Gaga, who wrote, “That’s really brave everything you said ? wow.”

The topic is something that’s common ground between the two musicians. The “Rain on Me” musician has also dealt with eating disorders in the past, opening up in 2012 about having struggled with anorexia and bulimia since she was 15 years old.

Her recent comment isn’t the first time Gaga has praised Swift for her bravery. When Swift appeared in One World: Together at Home, a virtual benefit concert curated by Gaga at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the “Anti-Hero” singer-songwriter performed the devastating Lover track “Soon You’ll Get Better,” a The Chicks-assisted ballad dedicated to her mother, Andrea, who’s been battling cancer since 2015.

“This is so beautiful, Taylor,” the Haus Labs founder said on Instagram Live after Swift’s performance. “Thank you for sharing this vulnerable moment with us. You’re really, really even so much braver in this moment.”

If you or someone you know is battling an eating disorder, please contact the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) at 1-800-931-2237 or go to NationalEatingDisorders.org.

M&M’s Replaces Spokecandies With Black Woman Maya Rudolph, MAGA Twitter Melting

HipHopWired Featured Video

Premiere Of Apple TV+ Comedy

M&M’s chose violence on a Monday (Jan. 23) morning. The brand announced it was replacing its “spokecandies” with Minnie Riperton’s daughter, actress Maya Rudolph.

The announcement from M&M’s almost immediately got the former SNL star (he Apple TV show Loot is damn good, too) trending. To be clear, we’re in on Maya Rudolph holding M&M”s down because it probably means there’s at least a hilarious Super Bowl commercial on the way.

“America, let’s talk,” reads the statement. “In the last year, we’ve made some changes to our beloved spokescandies. We weren’t sure if anyone would even notice. And we definitely didn’t think it would break the internet. But now we get it — even a candy’s shoes can be polarizing. Which was the last thing M&M’s wanted, since we’re all about bringing people together.”

True. They continued: “Therefore, we have decided to take an indefinite pause from the spokescandies. In their place, we are proud to introduce a new spokesperson America can agree on: the beloved Maya Rudolph. We are confident Ms. Rudolph will champion the power of fun to create a world where everyone feels they belong.”

M&M’s may want to reconsider what Americans can agree on, though. There really are those who are seriously butt hurt by the announcement showing their whole asses on Al Gore’s Internets. Safe bet you can guess the type of people they vote for, just saying.

Worth noting, the statement comes almost a year to the day after FOX’s alleged racist Tucker Carlson declared that the spokescandy updates were “less sexy”. Seriously.

Peep some of the polarizing reactions below. All the impending slander of their suspect cause is surely deserved.

Aaron Sawyer, Hannah Boren Join Triple 8 Management

Triple 8 Management has added Aaron Sawyer as an artist manager. He brings with him longtime colleague and associate manager Hannah Boren.

Prior to joining Triple 8, Sawyer spent seven years at Red Light Management. With his hire, he expands the Triple 8 Management roster to include Madison Cunningham, I’m With Her, Julian Lage, and Melt, as well as Sean and Sara Watkins and Watkins Family Hour.

“We’re really proud that Triple 8 is known for being a collaborative and creative environment where everyone in the company is willing to raise a hand and help across teams and departments,” said Triple 8 Management founding partner George Couri in a statement. “Aaron and Hannah embody those qualities and compliment the team perfectly. We are thrilled to welcome them to our organization. We are lucky to have them.”

“Aaron Sawyer has been a trusted friend for at least 15 years, and Hannah and I have known each other since her time at Noisetrade in 2014,” added Triple 8 partner Paul Steele. “I can not say enough kind things about these people and am honored they have decided Triple 8 is the right place for them to be. I have never been more excited about our future than I am today, and Aaron and Hannah are a big part of that.”

Sawyer added, “I’ve long admired the company George and Paul have built over the years, as well as their all-hands approach to management and ability to look at every minute detail to foster enduring artist growth and development. Paul and I nearly joined forces in 2015, so when the opportunity to join him arose again, it felt kismet.”

Cunningham currently boasts two Grammy nominations leading into next month’s ceremony, with nods for best folk album (for Revealer) and best American roots performance (for her song “Life According to Raechel”). Lage sold out concerts across Europe and North America last year following the release of View With a Room, his second album for Blue Note Records. Meanwhile, Sean and Sara Watkins continued their longstanding Watkins Family Hour project, releasing their record Vol. II and celebrating their 20th year in residence at Los Angeles club Largo. They are also gearing up for a big year with their group Nickel Creek, with the band slated to tour in Europe for the first time in nearly two decades.

Warner Music Acquires Yes Catalog From Atlantic Records

Warner Music Group’s global catalog division has struck a deal to represent Yes’ complete Atlantic Records works, an era that spans 12 studio albums and includes the prog-rock legends’ Grammy Award-winning ‘80s classic 90125.

WMG announced today (Jan. 23) that it has acquired the recorded music rights and income streams to a raft of albums, from 1969’s Yes through the band’s final studio album of its Atlantic/Atco period, 1987’s Big Generator, along with various live recordings and compilations. (See a full list below)

Financial terms weren’t disclosed.  

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers “came together and worked enthusiastically with Warner Music Group to secure this historic deal,” reads a statement from the band, “ensuring that these iconic recordings will continue to be curated in the optimum manner to delight their fans across more than five decades, while also finding and developing new audiences for this timeless music.”

Covered by the acquisition is 90125, the multiplatinum album from 1983 that yielded “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” the biggest hit from Yes’ 50-year-plus career. The single peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at No. 28 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart; a 2005 remix, credited to Max Graham vs Yes, went to No. 9 in the U.K., one of the group’s two top 10 hits in their homeland.

Also, an instrumental track from the 90125 album, “Cinema,” went on to win the Grammy Award for best rock instrumental performance.

While Yes did not have any No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, the band did land seven in the all-genre chart’s top 10: 1971’s Fragile (No. 4), 1972’s Close to the Edge (No. 3), 1973’s Tales From the Topographic Ocean (No. 6), 1974’s Relayer (No. 5), 1977’s Going for the One (No. 8), 1978’s Tormato (No. 10) and 90125 (No. 5) — all of which are covered by the new deal.

Global album sales total 30 million units worldwide, according to WMG.

“My introduction to Yes came while working at a record store in Ohio in 1983,” comments Kevin Gore, Warner Music’s president of global catalog. “I loved the 90125 album and went to see the band live, where I was introduced to their catalog of incredible songs.  I’ve been a fan ever since and we’re absolutely thrilled and deeply honored that the strong relationship between Yes and Warner Music will continue forever.”

The Yes lineup evolved much like the group’s music. The 90125 incarnation featured Trevor Rabin on guitar, alongside singer Jon Anderson, late bassist Chris Squire, late drummer Alan White, and original keyboardist Tony Kaye. In 2021, private equity firm Round Hill Music Royalty Fund acquired the music publishing catalogue from Rabin.

Yes entered the Rock Hall in April 2017 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, on a night when folk icon and social justice activist Joan Baez, string-augmented rock hitmakers Electric Light Orchestra, arena rock titans Journey, grunge pioneers Pearl Jam and West Coast rap god Tupac were all elevated.

Rush bassist and fellow Hall of Famer Geddy Lee inducted the band and joined them onstage for a “crushingly loud” run-through of “Roundabout,” Billboard reported at the time.

Speaking backstage about it, Lee said, “I just wanted to make sure I didn’t f— it up. They are without question my favorite band.”

Yes studio albums, live recordings, and compilations included in the deal:

Yes (1969)
Time and a Word (1970)
The Yes Album (1971)
Fragile (1971)
Close to the Edge (1972)
Yessongs (1973)

David Crosby Was Working on New Music on the Day He Died: ‘He Hadn’t Lost the Fire’

David Crosby was working on new music until the end. In an interview with Variety, guitarist Steve Postell said that the 81 year-old two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame veteran who died last week at 81 was talking about his new album on the day he died.

“David didn’t think he was gonna last for years, which he joked about all the time. But there was no sense that we weren’t gonna be able to do this show and these tours,” Postell told Variety. “We were talking tour buses, and what kind of venues, and the whole team was all back together again — the road manager and tour manager and sound guys — on top of this band we’d put together. There was not even a remote sense that we weren’t about ready to hit the world. And it’s a shame people didn’t get to hear it. This was something else. This was as close to the original thing” — specifically, the original sound of Crosby, Stills and Nash — “as we were gonna get. It was very powerful.”

Postell had been speaking on the phone with Crosby near the end after taking part in an “intimate” rehearsal in Santa Barbara the week before Crosby died; that was the follow to a full-band rehearsal in mid-December at which Postell said Crosby seemed “practically giddy with all of it.” During the latter, Crosby reportedly showed his band some new songs, asking them what they thought of the lyrics and proving that he “hadn’t lost the fire. I’d like people to know that he was on it. He was writing, playing, singing his ass off and preparing a fantastic show. That’s what he was doing. He was not lying in a bed for two years, out of it. That’s not what happened at all.”

In a testament to Crosby’s enduring love of playing and writing, Postell said he was talking to the singer on the phone on Wednesday morning discussing plans for a two-night run in Santa Barbara at the Lobero Theatre in late February that they were considering recording for a live album; Crosby’s death was announced on Thursday (Jan. 19).

The shows would have been Crosby’s first live gigs since 2019 and after spending Wednesday afternoon rehearsing the full set list they’d worked out, Postell said he texted the singer with some ideas that night and got a return text from Crosby son and bandmate, James Raymond, that his dad had died.

Though Crosby was eager to get back on the road after announcing in 2022 that he was done performing live, Postell said the CSN star was having difficulty with arthritis in his hands and could still play, but it had “gotten harder and harder for him.”

Another musician who had been working with Crosby on new material, Texas singer-songwriter Sarah Jarosz, told Variety that she’d recorded some vocals remotely and sent them to James Raymond and that Raymond told her after his father’s death that Crosby had listened to the tapes and appreciated her work.

“I never got to actually be in the studio with him when I was recording those vocals,” Jarosz said. “But he and James had reached out to me about a month ago saying they were working on this new album, and he really wanted me to sing on a new song, ‘Talk Till Dawn.’ It had just been a few days since I sent the vocal off [before Crosby died], but the way James made it seem to me is that he did get to hear it before he passed, which is obviously extremely emotional for me. I guess the way that I would describe the song is quintessential David Crosby —interesting chord movement and just a beautiful, stunning vocal performance.”

Sebastian Yatra’s nods include the coveted all-genre artist of the year, song of the year and album of the year categories. He is also nominated for tour of the year — which returned this year by popular demand, according to the organizers — and other pop categories. His PLN-nominated album Dharma (2022) peaked at No. 2 on Latin Pop Albums and No. 13 on Top Latin Albums, among other Billboard chart achievements.

He is closely followed by Bad Bunny, Camilo, Becky G and Grupo Firme, who each garnered nine nods; urbano household names Maluma, Daddy Yankee and Ozuna take eight each. Beloved couple Rauw Alejandro and Rosalía tie with seven, as well as Carin León, Karol G and J Balvin.

Aside from topping the list, Yatra will co-host the longest-running Latin music ceremony alongside TV presenter and actress Alejandra Espinoza, Mexican pop superstar Paulina Rubio, and Adrián Uribe of Univision’s late-night show De Noche Pero Sin Sueño.  

In total, 192 artists across diverse musical backgrounds are nominated within 39 categories. The nominations for Premio Lo Nuestro are based on Uforia radio airplay during the eligibility period of Oct. 1, 2021 through Sept. 30, 2022. Streaming counts and the assessment of a committee of music and entertainment experts also factor in this list. 

Starting today, fans can vote for their favorite artists on PremioLoNuestro.com, until Sunday, Feb. 5. 

This year’s theme is “El Mundo Es Lo Nuestro” (or The World is Ours), and the 35th annual award show will broadcast live on Thursday, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. ET. It will simulcast on Galavisión in the U.S. and Canal 5 in Mexico.
