Machine Gun Kelly drops new single 'vampire diaries'
Produced by Travis Barker, the guitar-driven song is accompanied by a unique music video where MGK dances through a natural history museum, despite the absence of any vampires. The video, directed by Sam Cahill, features choreography by Sean Bankhead, who previously worked on MGK's hit "Cliché."
Lost Americana is set for release on August 8 and serves as the follow-up to his 2022 album Mainstream Sellout. The album's lead single, "Cliché," dropped earlier this summer. Fans can pre-order Lost Americana ahead of its global release.
In celebration of the album's release, MGK will host a three-day event in Cleveland, Ohio, from August 8-10, marking MGK Day. The event will feature a mix of music, art, community engagement, and philanthropy to honor the artist's local influence.
The Cleveland-native also made headlines with an acoustic version of "Cliché," dubbed the "sad version." Known for his genre-defying style, MGK has seen major success with past projects like Tickets to My Downfall, which topped the Billboard 200 in 2020, and his Grammy-nominated album Mainstream Sellout. Both albums solidified his place as a prominent figure in the rock and pop-punk scenes.

Machine Gun Kelly reveals meaning behind daughter Saga's name
Machine Gun Kelly has opened up about the meaningful inspiration behind the name of his daughter Saga Blade Fox-Baker, whom he welcomed with Megan Fox in March 2025. During a June 20 appearance on the Today Show, the rapper and singer shared that the name Saga was chosen because of its deep connection to storytelling. 'She is an epic story,' MGK said. 'That's what saga means.' The artist, born Colson Baker, noted that the name also draws from his Norwegian heritage, referencing the Nordic goddess of storytelling, named Saga. 'She has a storytelling future ahead of her,' he added, reflecting on the symbolic significance of the name. MGK, 35, and Megan Fox, 39, announced their daughter's birth earlier this year, marking a new chapter in their high-profile relationship. Their daughter's name, while unique, avoids typical celebrity clichés and instead focuses on personal and cultural meaning. Ahead of his Today Show performance, MGK also gave a heartfelt shoutout to his 15-year-old daughter Casie, whom he shares with ex Emma Cannon. Casie was present at the event, sending her dad 'hand hearts' from the side of the stage. The couple has largely kept their daughter's life private, but this rare moment offered fans a glimpse into their family's personal values and MGK's emotional connection to both of his daughters.

Casie wore a light purple minidress and silver heels, while MGK opted for a black corduroy jumpsuit and silver chain. MGK posted a short clip of the two on Instagram with a cheeky caption, "I'm just the dad". Photo: Instagram Later in the event, MGK took the stage in a new outfit to perform, ending his set covered in neon green slime. Returning to the carpet, he posed with Casie, sharing a moment of laughter — a reminder of his dedication as a father. The event follows his recent appearance on the Today show, where he opened up about his new baby girl with Megan Fox, who was born in March. He revealed her name as Saga Blade Fox-Baker, calling her arrival an 'epic story' and attributing the name to their emotional journey after Fox's miscarriage. 'She is an epic story. And that's what Saga means,' MGK said. 'I'm also of Norwegian heritage, so that's the Nordic goddess of storytelling.' He added that Fox is a 'great mum' and praised her parenting. The couple is now co-parenting Saga Blade after they split in late 2024. MGK continues to share small glimpses of Saga on social media, including a touching black-and-white clip of her hand wrapped around his finger.
