Camila Cabello Came Incredibly Close to Kissing Nick Jonas on New Year's Eve


New Year’s Rockin Eve was memorable for a few reasons this time around—Mariah Carey’s take two, Maria Menous’ wedding—one of which we’re just catching wind of. Singer Camila Cabello had a lil’ story to tell when she appeared on the Tonight Show Friday evening regarding a midnight kiss of her own that almost was.

The singer was invited to Times Square to perform her solo hit, “Havana.” But as the minute hand began inching toward 12 and the ball began to drop, she looked around and realized who she was with.

“When you go into the ball drop thing, they do not let you bring your family with you… so it was just me, and I had Nick Jonas, and Ryan Seacrest and Mariah Carey and the ball was dropping, and I was like, ‘Am I going to kiss Nick Jonas!?'” Cabello told Jimmy Fallon.

Apparently (apparently!) she only thought about that because that’s just what you do on New Year’s Eve. Definitely no other reason. Nope. Much like many of us faced with the prospect of locking lips with a Jonas bro as the clock strikes midnight, she, um, “chickened out.” Relatable!

“But I thought it would be funny! You know what I mean?” Cabello said. “Mariah Carey did blow me a kiss though so that was good!”

The singer, formerly of Fifth Harmony before branding out on her own, has had similar moments when it comes to celebs, including getting “kind of weird” around Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Gonna say it now: same (should it ever actually happen). What a glorious life, Cabello.

Watch it all go down here:

Camila Cabello Was Hurt by Fifth Harmony's 2017 MTV Video Music Awards Dig


Camila Cabello officially left Fifth Harmony more than a year ago, but there still seem to be some unresolved hurt feelings. In a new interview with The New York Times, Camila discusses her solo career and touches on the pain that Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui caused her with their 2017 MTV Video Music Awards performance. When asked about the moment, Camila began to tear up and said, “It definitely hurt my feelings. I wasn’t expecting it, I wasn’t prepared for it — especially because at that point I’d moved on from it. I was just like, ‘What? Why?'”

She also called out her former band members for being “petty” with the stunt. “I have to make space for the good stuff to happen in my life,” she said. “I don’t like holding onto the past, especially when it’s stuff that, in my opinion, is just petty.”

Fans will remember that the remaining members of Fifth Harmony took the stage at the VMAs with a fifth person, who many speculated was meant to represent Camila, before the silhouetted figure was dramatically pushed offstage, leaving the rest to perform. (For what it’s worth, the remaining Fifth Harmony members later clarified on Good Morning America that the message was more about who is in the group rather than who’s not.)

Meanwhile, Camila seems to be doing just fine as a solo act. Her first album drops January 12, and she was just nominated (alongside every member of One Direction) for best solo breakout award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Camila Cabello Dedicated Her 'Havana' Performance on 'Today' to 'the Dreamers'


Camila Cabello has an impressive catalog of solo songs out right now. The Sia-penned “Crying in the Club” is a glittery dance-pop smash; “Havana” is a delicious, mid-tempo ode to Cuba; and “Bad Things,” featuring Machine Gun Kelly, goes harder than any pop song on top 40 radio. Of course, Cabello has more tracks than these, but she chose this trifecta to highlight during her electric performance on the Today show Friday (September 29).

The former Fifth Harmony member didn’t miss a beat during her live set, effortlessly delivering stellar vocals and precision dance steps at the same time—not an easy feat. This shouldn’t surprise people who’re fans of Cabello, though. She’s always been a dynamic performer with incredible stage presence.

What might surprise them, however, is the powerful message she gave toward the end of her performance. Right before closing “Havana,” Cabello delivered a quick monologue dedicating the song to “the dreamers” of America.

“This is America—the America we love, where no matter your race, your color, your beliefs, or where you came from if you have a dream, you can make it possible,” she said.

Watch Cabello’s performance for yourself, below:

This sentiment rings especially true to Cabello, who immigrated from Cuba to the United States with essentially nothing. “I can just imagine all the little girls who have dreams of coming here and feel unwanted. It inspires me in my music to do my best to give [them] the light that I have,” she told Glamour in April. “I want to be what people think of when they think of America—a person who, no matter what her first language was or what her religion is, can see her dreams come to life if she works hard enough.”

Camila Cabello Opens Up About Spending Halloween With Taylor Swift


Camila Cabello embodied all of us last year when she attended Taylor Swift’s model-studded Halloween bash dressed as a “Grandma Who Couldn’t Find Her Cat Because She Sat on It.” The look became an instant classic and was a stark contrast to the slinkier costumes Swift’s other friends, like Gigi Hadid and Martha Hunt, sported that evening. No shade to anyone who opts for a sexy Halloween costume, but Cabello’s outfit just felt so relatable—we’ve all been in a situation where it feels like you missed a dress code memo.

And during her interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show on Monday evening (September 25), Cabello finally opened up about what it was like to be the “grandma” in a sea of sexy cub scouts.

“I didn’t [leave the costume on for the whole party],” she said. “I walk in, and it was, like, Gigi Hadid, Martha Hunt—these models—and I just walk in, like (goofy face). Then these two attractive guys come in, so I went to the bathroom. I had this black turtleneck and pants under it, and I went to the bathroom and took [the costume] off. And then I came back out, and I was like, ‘I was really hot.'”

We’ve all been there. Everyone knows what it’s like to attend a T.Swift Halloween party in a gag costume but immediately rip it off because two guys with washboard abs walk in. OK, maybe we don’t, but Cabello did what 98 percent of humans with a pulse would’ve done in this scenario.

Honestly, though, Cabello should’ve kept the costume on. If the guys at the party couldn’t appreciate her A+ costume, then they weren’t worth her time.

Watch Cabello tell this story for yourself in the video, below:

Let this be a lesson to everyone who wants to dress as “Grandma Who Sits on a Cat” this Halloween: Own it. (Unless you actually feel overheated—in which case, yes, take it off.)

Fifth Harmony Called Out Camila Cabello During Their 2017 VMAs Performance

Fifth Harmony just shocked everyone watching the 2017 VMAs with their most direct attack on former member Camila Cabello to date.

The audience may have gotten excited for a minute when they saw five figures standing on stage in metallic puffy jackets at the top of their performance. But right before the music kicked in, the fifth figure (presumably meant to represent Camila) was literally thrown off the stage, doing a backwards dive right off the platform. Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui did not miss a beat, immediately thereafter busting into an epic performance that included everything from broken glass to rain and a beautiful split by Normani.

The blatant jab at Camila is somewhat surprising, especially considering Fifth Harmony has consistently shut down interviewers who ask about the former member of their group. They even side stepped conversation of their former member earlier in the night during the MTV VMA 2017 red carpet. The four members of the girl band artfully avoided an awkward question from Charlamagne Tha God, who asked if they would give their award to “a member who’s no longer in the group” if they were to win, and the girls went silent for just a beat too long. Thankfully, Normani broke the silence. “Well if we win for best choreography we’ll give it to our choreographer,” she said.

So while it may have seemed like the 5H girls would remain silent on Camila’s departure from here on out, they were clearly just saving their diss for later in the show—no words necessary. We’ll be watching to see if or how Camila responds.

In the meantime, who can I give an award for this epic shade?
