Lady Gaga Debuts 'Copper Blond' Hair for the American Music Awards 2017


The American Music Awards always brings out an interesting mix of beauty choices. It’s not as dressy as the Academy Awards or the Emmys, or quite as “just have fun with it” as the VMAs—which makes it the ideal testing ground for stars who want to change up their looks, without too much pressure. Example A? Selena Gomez casually going extremely blond, and Example B just came to us from Lady Gaga’s American Music Awards look. In a move we can’t say we saw coming, the singer rung in the AMAs remotely with an all-new hair color, showing off a shade given the freshly coined name of “copper blond.” Excuse the pun.

That name came to us from Lady Gaga’s beauty team on her Joanne tour, hairstylist Frederic Aspiras and makeup artist Sarah Tanno. Aspiras describes the color as “on the warmer blond side with a copper rinse, so say goodbye to the rose gold blond. It’s warmer and rich.” That lines up with what we’ve been seeing elsewhere in hair trends, with warm, dare-we-say brassy-leaning colors on the rise.

Also different about Gaga’s look? The serious curls she’s wearing. The effect is pure Madonna, ’80s edition, which makes sense: according to Aspiras, her spirals are thanks to a real-deal perm (the most ’80s hair treatment of all). On top of the treatment, Aspiras says that he used a gel cream oil to tame any frizz (we like Ouidad’s Curl Immersion Hi-defining Custard), and hair oil to protect Gaga’s new copper color. A diffuser got her curls bouncy and soft, with a wand iron used to add some extra curl definition around her face.

The finished effect is a massive cloud of glamorous curls unlike anything we’ve seen on Gaga before. Not to be outdone, Tanno’s makeup job brought in rosy pink shadow, copper lipstick, and lashes on lashes. Combined with her Alaia dress, Gaga gone ’80s feels so very right.

Selena Gomez Debuts Blond Hair at the American Music Awards 2017


The world has been waiting with bated breath for Selena Gomez to arrive at the 2017 American Music Awards—not only for her first live performance in over a year, but also to see whether she would have a certain date (ahem, Justin Bieber) by her side. But rather than revealing her rumored rekindled love on the red carpet, Gomez debuted a brand-new hairstyle instead: The 25-year-old singer has a chic, icy platinum bob now.

Whether the stunning new blond ‘do is a permanent change or a temporary look for the AMAs is unclear—especially considering six hours prior, Gomez had dark hair and blunt bangs, per her Insta story. But her longtime stylist Marissa Marino’s Instagram gives us some clues: apparently Nine Zero One colorist Nikki Lee is the one responsible for Gomez’s new hair, meaning she very well could have just joined in Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande in the “real fake blondes” club.

Beyond the blond, Gomez is set to perform her new song “Wolves” at the 2017 AMAs, making it her first performance since receiving a kidney transplant due to complications from her struggle with lupus. The performance marks a major milestone for Gomez, on a stage where she’s made several: Crying over Justin Bieber during “The Heart Wants What It Wants” back in 2014, delivering an inspiring speech post-treatment in 2016, and now returning from her latest health scare. “The AMAs have been a place where I’ve shared some of my most intimate moments,” she wrote on Instagram earlier in the week, while teasing her “Wolves” performance.

New Beyoncé Music Is Finally, Finally Here


We have big news, Beyoncé fans: New music from your queen has finally arrived.

Well, kind of. This new song isn’t Beyoncé’s, per se; it’s actually Eminem’s first single in two years, but Beyoncé’ is featured. The tune is called “Walk on Water,” and Beyoncé’s singing verses on it are absolutely stunning.

Go ahead and listen to it, below, and then we can discuss.

“I walk on water / But I ain’t no Jesus / I walk on water / But only when it freezes,” Beyoncé croons on the rap song, which features some of Eminem’s most poignant, introspective lyrics to date.

“It’s true, I’m a Rubik’s / A beautiful mess / At times juvenile, yes / I goof and I jest / A flawed human I guess,” Eminem raps at one point in the song. Thematically, “Walk on Water” is all about owning up to the fact that we’re humans; we’re not perfect, and we should stop pretending to be. “Cause I’m only human, just like you / Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew / I don’t think you should believe in me the way you do,” he raps again.

This is the second feature Beyoncé’s done this year. She lent her pipes to a remix version of J. Balvin and Willy William’s “Mi Gente” to raise money for the hurricanes that impacted Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the Caribbean islands. Unfortunately, she hasn’t released any solo work since 2016’s Lemonade. (“All Night” was the last single from that album.)

But new solo songs could be coming sooner than you think. Bey was recently spotted wearing braids in New Orleans—and, according to a popular fan theory, she almost always sports braids when recording new music.

Fingers crossed that’s the case. It’s time for Queen B to make her triumphant return to the charts.

Carrie Underwood Honors Las Vegas Shooting Victims at 2017 Country Music Awards


This year’s annual Country Music Awards was not marked by tragedy, but rather hope and some good ol’ fashioned Nashville perseverance.

Carrie Underwood took time out of the award show’s standard “in memoriam” segment—which recognized country music artists who have passed away this year, such as legends Don Williams and Glen Campbell—to also pay tribute to the 58 victims of the devastating Las Vegas shooting that occurred last month. (The shooter specifically targeted attendees at a country music event: the Route 91 Harvest Festival.)

Performing a gorgeous rendition of the Christian hymn “Softly and Tenderly,” Underwood visibly became overcome with emotion when a black and white photo compilation of the victims appeared on a screen above the stage.

Underwood hosted the show alongside Brad Paisley for an astounding 10th time in a row, and the duo dedicated a significant portion of their opening monologue to encourage people to lighten up and enjoy the show for as long as they can—despite all of the terrible things going on in the world. The country community really is like a family, after all. “This has been a year marked by tragedy, impacting countless lives, including so many in our country music family,” Underwood said. “So tonight, we’re going to do what families do: come together, pray together, cry together, and sing together, too.”

Paisley added: “The way we see it, the best way to honor our fans is to play our music—loud and proud. Our music lifts people up and that’s what we’re here to do tonight. So this year’s show is dedicated to all of those we’ve lost and to all of those who are still healing. We love you and we will never forget you.”

Taylor Swift Subtly References Joe Alwyn in Her 'Ready for It' Music Video


There’s a lot to unpack in the “Ready for It” video that Taylor Swift dropped last night. The storyline, even after several viewings, is still unclear. We know Swift plays some kind of animatronic cyborg; she skulks around a futuristic-looking basement menacingly, fiddles with a neon crystal ball, and gets into a fight with herself at one point. But how these ideas are connected to a song seemingly about a relationship is still a mystery.

One thing that’s clear, though, is the reference she makes to her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, at the top of the video. It happens around the 16-second mark: The numbers 89 and 91 are spray-painted on the wall behind Swift. The first is an obvious self-reference—Swift, as we all know by now, was born in 1989—and the second is most likely a nod to Alwyn, whose birthday is February 21, 1991. Take a look at the numbers for yourself, below:

There’s one more 1989 reference you might’ve missed in the video, too. The phrase “The Year of the Snake” appears in Chinese toward the beginning of the video. Swift was infamously branded as a “snake” last year after that whole Kim Kardashian Snapchat drama. She’s since reclaimed that image, and she does it again here…because 1989 is the Year of the Snake. Connections!

It’s no surprise Swift nodded to Alwyn in this video. Most fans think “Ready for It” is about the English actor, whom Swift has been dating for more than a year. The lyrics make several not-so-subtle references to him. “Younger than my exes, but he acts like such a man,” Swift sings at one point. (Alwyn is 26—noticeably younger than her last two boyfriends, Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston.) The vibe of the tune also indicates a loose Alwyn theme: It’s about the giddy, bubbly stages of a new relationship.

“Ready for It” is the second song Swift’s released from her new album, Reputation. She dropped the first, “Look What You Made Me Do,” in late August, and the third (“Gorgeous”) just last week. The album is due out November 10.
