Ariana Grande is blessing Arianators with a seventh studio album titled Eternal Sunshine, which from the teasers the “Yes, And?” singer has been posting on Instagram, takes inspiration from the 2004 movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This isn’t the first time that Grande has used her favorite movies as themes for albums of course — she famously paid homage to Mean Girls in the video to 2019’s Thank U, Next.

As for Eternal Sunshine (the film) and Grande, the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper recently posted photos of herself dressed exactly like the film’s character Clementine, played by Kate Winslet, while holding up vinyls of Eternal Sunshine (the album). The most obvious callout to the film is in her teaser video announcement for the single “We Can’t Be Friends,” which shows Grande in a waiting room while going over a consent form that is just like the one from the movie.

What Is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind About?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind asks the question: if you had the option to erase all of the painful memories from a breakup, would you? Winslet’s character Clementine decides she’s going to erase her ex-boyfriend Joel (Jim Carrey) by undergoing a non-invasive procedure that can detect and delete painful memories — ultimately causing her to forget someone completely. When Joel finds out that she’s done this, he decides to go through the procedure as well, but as the painful memories begin to disappear and he can only remember the happy ones, he starts to fall back in love with Clementine all over again.
Other cast members include Kristen Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo and Tom Wilkinson.

As you start packing your festival gear and other travel necessities, you’ll want to make sure Eargasm’s earplugs are one of the things stocked in your luggage.
Do Earplugs Actually Work At Concerts?
If you’ve ever left a concert or music festival with ringing ears, then you’ve probably experience Tinnitus, which is described by the Iowa Carver College of Medicine as the “perception of sound in the absence of it (such as whistling, buzzing or roaring sounds within the ear or head).” This is just one of the symptoms from music induced hearing loss, which occurs when you’re exposed to high volumes of noise.
Concert earplugs work to minimize hearing damage by muffling sounds and reducing the noise, so your ear cannel doesn’t experience it at full force.
How to Get EDC Las Vegas 2024 Tickets
Tickets for EDC Las Vegas 2024 are still available at VividSeats, Seatgeek and StubHub. Ticket packages on resale sites start at $382 and you can choose from three-day passes to single-day tickets as well as VIP packages. Learn more about the festival including its lineup and tickets here.

Outdoor festivals and concerts are just some of the perks that come with warm weather, but sitting on the ground can come with its risks if you don’t have the proper festival gear. Whether you’re resting after dancing to your favorite artists or are enjoying sunny weather with friends at the park, a good picnic blanket is essential to avoid ending up with a wet bottom — or worse, grass and dirt stains on your jeans.

Adding a picnic blanket to your packing list will not only add some cushion to the hard ground, but will keep you dry and comfortable, no matter your location.
Trending on Billboard
There are a number of good outdoor blankets you can choose from online, but which ones should you actually be buying? To help make the decision easier, Billboard Shopping has broken down the best picnic blankets below to help narrow your options.
What Is the Best Material for Outdoor Blankets?
Sure, you could use any type of blanket outdoors, but the best picnic blankets are made from a waterproof material that won’t soak through if the ground is wet. You’ll want to be on the lookout for fabrics like polyurethane laminate (PUL) and nylon to prevent any water soaking through. Plus, if you go to the beach, these materials are smooth enough to easily brush off sand without trapping it.
What Is the Best Size for a Picnic Blanket?
If you plan on using a picnic blanket for yourself and another person you’ll want to opt for a blanket that can fit you, the other person, as well as additional space for snacks, drinks and more. Outdoor gear brand Kamui suggests using a blanket 50 inches x 60 inches to comfortably fit two people. For five or more people you’ll want to consider an outdoor blanket that measures around 80 inches x 80 inches.
What Are the Best Picnic Blankets?
From beach-friendly designs to budget-friendly picks, below we rounded up some of the best picnic blankets on the market that’ll easily become a travel necessity.
