Sabrina Carpenter Considered Banning Phones During Her Concerts
If you've ever been to a Sabrina Carpenter show, then you already know it's full of Short n' Sweet treats. So much so, you might want to record her next 'Juno' position or have the entirety of 'Tornado Warnings' on your camera roll to soundtrack your next crash out. Either way, snapping those memories might not even be an option during her concerts in the future.
During an interview with Rolling Stone, the 'Manchild' singer got candid about playing live shows and how it feels to see a crowd full of phone cameras aimed at her. Of course, she's no stranger to lenses as a Grammy-winning pop star, but she revealed that she might consider banning phones from her shows at some point in her blossoming career, as artists like Madonna, Adele, and Bob Dylan have done in the past.
'This will honestly piss off my fans, but absolutely,' Sabrina admitted when asked if she'd ban phones. 'Because I went to see Silk Sonic in Vegas, and they locked my phone. I've never had a better experience at a concert. I genuinely felt like I was back in the Seventies — wasn't alive. Genuinely felt like I was there. Everyone's singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful.'
At the end of the day, the 'Bed Chem' artist understands why she's faced with a crowd full of phones and 'doesn't blame' her fans for wanting to preserve the moment.
'I've grown up in the age of people having iPhones at shows,' she continued. 'It unfortunately feels super normal to me. I can't blame people for wanting to have memories. But depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away.'
She then playfully added, 'You cannot zoom in on my face. Right now, my skin is soft and supple. It's fine. Do not zoom in on me when I'm 80 years old up there.'

KayCyy Comes Into His Own on 'BEFORE I WAS BORN'
KayCyyhas been one of contemporary hip-hop's favorite featured artists. The Kenya-born, Saint Paul, Minnesota-bred rapper has racked up a Rolodex of industry-wide A-list co-signs and credits. Most notably, just when he started gaining momentum as a rising artist, KayCyy contributed production and writing toYe'sDondain 2021, having worked closely with the rapper since connecting through mutual friend and record executive Abou 'Bu' Thiam, who later went on to become both artists' managers. Now 27 years old, KayCyy earned a coveted Grammy nom for for Album of the Year for his work onDonda,nabbing the Grammy win for Best Melodic Rap Performance for his backing vocals on 'Hurricane.' After proving his production prowess onDonda,KayCyy continued his momentum with some more standout singles (including 'Stay Up' withLancey Foux), followed by his first-ever collaborative EP withGesaffelstein,TW20 50, which spanned a trio of tracks and dropped on streaming services in March of 2022. The project established the pair's unexpectedly effortless-sounding ease of creative collaboration, KayCyy's slick vocals sliding over the distinctly smooth Gesaffelstein melodies, laying the groundwork for the duo's second collaborative EP,TW2052,in May of 2023, which came after another impressive KayCyy mixtape,Get Used To It, which dropped in June of 2022 and features Foux and 070 Shake among others. It's not just the heavyweights, theLil Keeds andJoey Bada$$es, that KayCyy chooses to tap in with; onGet Used To It,the malleable musician chooses to champion other emerging talent like Annahstasia and Nigerian-London singer Steven Bamidele. To close out 2023, the rapper hopped onTravis Scott'sUTOPIA,offering up vocals to 'THANK GOD,' on which KayCyy wasn't credited, which prompted him to drop 'My Jeans' with original cover art that read 'I'M NOT NO BACKGROUND SINGER.' Shortly thereafter, he assistedWestside GunnwithAnd Then You Pray For Metitle track, 'AND THEN YOU PRAY FOR ME,' closing out Gunn's captivating album on a high note. He's spent the last year or so continuing to dial in his sound, showing out on more small artist features and just over two months before droppingBEFORE I WAS BORN,he dropped another collaborative mixtape with Irish musician sign crushes motorist, curating a duo they called HIIBRYD. DubbedSADDEST TRUTH,the tape leans into a more indie-inspired rap sound and arrives as another prime example of KayCyy's collaborative capabilities and the versatility of his shape-shifting sonic persona. That's all to say that each one of these collaborative mixtapes, singles, and production credits has paved the way forBEFORE I WAS BORN. Handled almost completely solo, the 13-track project is an ode to KayCyy's independence – something only made possible by the journey he took to get here. Still toeing the line between being a behind-the-scenes force from the shadows and stepping fully into the mainstream, this is likely the most lowkey KayCyy will ever be. Swerving from nostalgic R&B-influenced cuts to trap-turned ballads,BEFORE I WAS BORNputs KayCyy's artistic adaptability center stage. StreamBEFORE I WAS BORN– out everywhere now.

Kesha Throws a Last Supper-Themed Sex Party and Breastfeeds a Man in NSFW 'Boy Crazy' Music Video
Kesha's NSFW music video for her latest single, "Boy Crazy," is out now The clip features nudity, explicit language and sexual themes "Boy Crazy" will appear on Kesha's new album, . (PERIOD), out Friday, July 4Kesha is getting raunchy. The Grammy-nominated pop star, 38, released the NSFW music video for her latest single, "Boy Crazy," on Tuesday, June 17, and the clip finds her in the midst of a filthy party reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper painting. The video opens in a venue with a long table covered in various cloths including an American flag. Kesha sits in the middle, surrounded by all different types of men ('Bikers and the dumb bros, daddies and the gym hoes,' she sings on the verse) as if she's Jesus in a sleazy depiction of da Vinci's famous work. As the chorus comes in, the men (wearing a wide range of clothing, some in nearly nothing) all dance around the Grammy-nominated artist and begin to cause a sexually-charged ruckus at the table. 'I'm obsessive, I'm fixating / I want all the boys lately,' she sings. 'Fly me out and entertain me / I'm boy crazy.' In the next scene, Kesha sits on the back of a man in fishnet tights and underwear, dangling a pair of pink panties in front of his face as two other men watch from behind. Back at the long table, Kesha kneels in the middle of the men — who are throwing food and beer around — and suggestively peels and eats a banana. She's also seen in the drivers' seat of a car, smoking through a long cigarette holder while men sit around her. Toward the end of the clip, she appears seated in a plastic chair with a man straddling her upside down while wearing a jock strap. In the background are two men: one in a shirt advertising the dating app Feeld and another who dances around and strips down to nothing. Kesha then stands in the same area, wearing nothing but boots and gloves, as she sprays a speedo-wearing man with a hose. Finally, she appears seated on rocks near water to breastfeed a tattooed man to close out the music video. The sexual nature of the visual is quite representative of the song's lyrics. 'I've been a good girl, now I'm a connoisseur / Many men are on the menu (Eat 'em up like amuse-bouche) / Boys better beware, I'm on a man tear / Driving ninety, they been tryna get me in my underwear,' she sings on the second verse. Feeld's appearance in the video comes as the dating app, marketed as "for open-minded individuals," is sponsoring Kesha's upcoming Tits Out Tour, which kicks off next month. "Sexuality should not be something that's shrouded in shame. I am a really big proponent of just be who you are and give yourself the permission to be proud and authentic in that," she told PEOPLE in March. The "Joyride" artist also opened up about her romantic prospects at the time. "I've dated a lot of very cool, very broke hipsters with very bad attitudes, and so I'm trying to swing the pendulum 180 degrees and go in the entirely opposite direction," she said. "I want someone that goes to an office building because they own the office building." "Boy Crazy" will appear on Kesha's new album, . (PERIOD), out Friday, July 4.
