the way she knew he only got up to instill fear and intimidate the girls but aniya matched his energy and sonned tf outta him, this will genuinely go down as one of the greatest moments in reality tv. she really tore 😹
these men not understanding that the girls are angry with kc because of the disrespectful and misogynistic comments and not that he’s exploring is FRUSTRATING #loveiandusa
🏴 Scotland fans discovered you can't drink in public in Boston and immediately hired a boat to start getting on the pints at 10am.
No one is having more fun at the World Cup than the Tartan Army 😂
Some men are just solid. They don’t lie. They don’t cheat. They don’t entertain other women or move funny when nobody’s watching. They’re loyal in your face and behind your back. That kind of integrity can’t be taught, bought, or forced. So salute the men who still stand on that.🫡👑They’re rare. And anyone who had one and fumbled him didn’t just lose a good man, they lost something they’ll never really replace.
"not all men!" but all women are bad drivers and all women are moody and all women are emotional and all women get to be painted with the same brush but don't you dare generalise men that's unfair!!!!!!!!
We didn’t know it then but this was the golden age for a certain generation. Every song felt this big & magical.
The writers, producers, artists, labels, everyone took this genuine, unquantifiable energy for granted. It’s a lesson on appreciating what you have before it’s gone🎀
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Newly-released surveillance video shows a high school principal in Oklahoma TACKLING a school shooter before he could open fire on kids
What a HERO!
Principal Kirk Moore RUSHED the shooter when he aimed at his first would-be victim, wresting the gun away from him.
Give this man an award. Absolute legend.
The attempted shooter at Pauls Valley High School is now being held on a $1 million bond.
A 13-year-old Canadian kid uploaded R&B covers to YouTube in 2008 from his bedroom. A talent manager named Scooter Braun stumbled on the videos and signed him.
For the next 15 years, Braun controlled everything. Tours, branding, business deals, public image. The kid became the biggest pop star on the planet, sold 150 million records, racked up 32 billion Spotify streams, and had three Diamond-certified singles before turning 25.
Then in 2022, he got hit with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Partial facial paralysis. Cancelled the world tour. Disappeared from public life entirely.
Here's where it gets interesting.
In January 2023, he sold his entire 290-song catalog to Hipgnosis for $200 million. Every song he'd ever released. "Baby." "Sorry." "Love Yourself." All of it. Gone. At 28 years old, he cashed out his past.
Then he dropped Scooter Braun. After 15 years. No manager. No agent. For the first time in his career, nobody was making decisions for him.
Fast forward to this weekend. Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself. Rolling Stone confirmed he negotiated his own headlining deal directly with Goldenvoice. No agent commission. No manager cut. $10 million for two weekends, and he kept all of it.
Then he walked onto the biggest stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook, and pulled up YouTube.
He played "Baby" from 2010. He played his bedroom covers from 2008. He harmonized with his 13-year-old self in front of 100,000 people. Katy Perry joked about whether he had YouTube Premium.
Half the internet called it lazy. The other half called it genius.
They're both wrong. It was a receipt.
He sold his catalog for $200 million. He fired the man who discovered him. He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the exact platform where it all started and said: I built this from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a laptop. And for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine.
The kid from YouTube just closed the loop.
