The WNBA has had a slam dunk of a year, and we’re recapping the most memorable music moments from the season. Caitlin Clark has been one of the biggest breakouts, but did you know the Indiana Fever star is a Swiftie? In a video shared on X, Caitlin can be seen belting out her favorite Taylor Swift song. She also mentioned going to the Eras Tour and even showed off her friendship bracelets in an interview with her teammate Aliyah Boston. From Caitlin Clark to Angel Reese, superstar rapper Latto had a viral moment earlier this year while supporting Reese at a Chicago Sky game. Latto has been a huge supporter of Reese’s, ever since her “Put it on the Floor” cameo, but Angel Reese isn’t the only one with courtside celebs cheering her on, so do the New York Liberty. From New York icons like Spike Lee, to pop stars like Tyla. And with the team in the finals, the support has gotten even bigger. They celebrated a big win against the Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals by singing “Empire State of Mind” with Alicia Keys. Celebs aren’t just supporting teams, they’ve also become big fans of their iconic mascot Ellie the Elephant. Ellie does it all, hanging out with Justin Timberlake during sound check to performing onstage with Ciara and a Beyoncé ‘Renaissance’-themed halftime show. Who doesn’t love a good mascot? Go Ellie go!

Eminem Endorses Kamala Harris & Inspires President Obama to Rap to ‘Lose Yourself’ | Billboard News

Eminem has officially endorsed Kamala Harris while also having Barack Obama starstruck at Harris’ Detroit rally. Keep watching to see what went down!

Tetris Kelly:

Eminem made a rare public appearance at a Kamala Harris rally in Detroit, where he introduced Barack Obama and endorsed Harris in the upcoming presidential election. 

Eminem:

Going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever and I think it’s important to use your voice. I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country, where this freedom and many others will be protected and upheld.

Tetris Kelly:

Obama hit the stage and admitted he was a little nervous following in the footsteps of the iconic Detroit rapper. The former president even rapped a cappella to Em’s “Lose Yourself” anthem, which was also his walkout music. 

Barack Obama:

I got to say, you know I have done a lot of rallies, so I don’t usually get nervous. But I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem. Now I notice, my palms are sweating, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, mom’s spaghetti. I’m nervous but on the surface I look calm and ready to drop bombs but I keep on forgetting. Love me some Eminem.

Tetris Kelly:

The move hyped up the Detroit crowd, although Obama’s long been a fan of Slim Shady. He revealed in a 2020 interview that “Lose Yourself” was one of the tracks that served as inspiration while he was on the presidential campaign trail in 2008. 

Barack Obama:

When I needed some inspiration on the presidential campaign I often turned to music. It was rap that got my head in the right place, two songs especially.

Octavio Cuadras Reveals He’s an Anime Fan & More Things You Don’t Know About Him | Billboard News

Octavio Cuadras shares five things you didn’t know about him, including his love for anime, the food he doesn’t like and more.

Octavio Cuadras:
Hello, how are you? I’m Octavio Cuadras, and these are five things you don’t know about me.

No. 1: I really like animated series, but anime in general. I really like Dragon Ball, Captain Tsubasa, The 7 Deadly Sins, Naruto — all that stuff. I really like all of that, and it’s something I haven’t shared on my social media, but I’m a big fan.

The second fact is that I don’t like eating fish — it’s true, you got it right. I don’t like fish, I can eat anything, I like all food, all types of food, from everywhere, except fish. I can’t stand it — I can’t eat it. And my mother tells me that I grew up eating fish as a child, then I kind of grew to hate it.

Three: My dream is to go to Japan someday, go to Osaka to go and see all of Tokyo. I think that would be one of my biggest dreams. I would also like to go to Italy.

I’m a big fan of shopping for shoes. Octavio Cuadras spends his money on sneakers. So when the check comes in, I’m like, “Let’s go get some shoes,” you know? I don’t know, it’s something I can’t control it, since I was a little kid I have this thing. I always wanted sneakers. I always wanted shoes, you know? There was no money then, and now there is some money, so I buy my sneakers.
