The British artist is making waves across the pond as she joins her party girl predecessor, Kesha, as a supporting act on the Tits Out Tour this summer. She's also brushed shoulders with some of Hollywood's elite off-stage, from Gracie Abrams to her longtime love and fellow up-and-comer, Harris Dickinson. If that wasn't enough proof that Rose effortlessly oozes star power, then her long line of fans awaiting her arrival might do the trick. 'I had a 5 p.m. soundcheck at Jean's, and as I left to get ready at the hotel, I saw a queue of fans wearing my merch, holding roses, and holding my CDs. Honestly, I wasn't even sure anyone was going to show up. But the night was wild,' Rose exclusively tells Cosmopolitan of her pop-up show. 'I played new remixes, jumped on the decks. The energy was unreal. Jean's was so chic. I loved it, and I can't wait to be back mid-August to play Night Club 101.' Luckily for us, Rose brought us along for her slinky, sublime, and sweat-filled pop-up show at Jean's through her POV. So, come for her chic looks and signature wine-red hair flips, and stay for her iconic party girl photo captions, shared exclusively with Cosmo.

Sabrina Carpenter fans threaten to 'leave' gig after 'truly British' moment
Fans of Sabrina Carpenter were left horrified before she came on stage at her recent BST gig, and some people said that if they were there and witnessed what happened, they would've 'left' Sabrina Carpenter played BST Hyde Park in London at the weekend (July 5 and 6), and fans were given a real treat. From high-energy singing to the costume changes, it looked like a night to remember - for all the right reasons. However, there was something that left fans gobsmacked before the 'Espresso' singer even took to the stage. Sabrina, 26, has caused quite a stir recently after unveiling the cover art for her upcoming album, 'Man's Best Friend'. The controversial image, which depicts Sabrina on all fours as her hair is gripped by a faceless figure in a suit, has a debate among fans. But that didn't stop them turning out in their thousands to see her, decked in adorable outfits. However, TikToker Celina Stephenson was left gobsmacked when she turned up to see the petite pop princess and something kicked off, and some fans said they would've "crashed out and gone home". Celina could be seen under an umbrella, screaming, with rain pouring down around her, coming around the umbrella as she looked amused, but also unimpressed that her cute outfit was potentially going to be ruined by the 'Great British summer'. Gig-goers could be seen walking around in short shorts and cowboy boots, borrowing their friends' hoodies instead of using umbrellas, desperately trying to shelter from the huge downpour as the heavens opened. "I'm not walking," Celina fumed as she stayed put under her umbrella, filming the field, which was swiftly becoming muddier by the second. Water started to pool in the grass as brave fans ran through the mud, and some even danced in the rain near the stage as everyone else took shelter. Celina filmed herself wading through the water, which appeared to reach her calves - meaning she was probably grateful to be wearing knee high boots and a short skirt, so she was able to dry off fairly quickly when the weather finally returned to normal. In the comments, people who went to Sabrina's first night were left mortified, writing: "Wait I'm so confused when was this because I was there and it wasn't like this at all?? Did she do a second night and I didn't know?" Someone clarified that this was the "second night, during Amber Mark's set". "Please, please, please, stop raining," a fan joked, playing on Sabrina's song 'Please, Please, Please'. Somebody who was there on the rainy night penned: "The thunderstorm warning that came after telling us to seek shelter in the middle of Hyde Park was so funny, not gonna lie". Another wrote: "If this isn't a true representation of British weather I dunno what is. There were videos of everyone vibing in the sun yesterday". "And I'd be right there too in the trenches, I know that's right," somebody said. A TikTok user said that the weather was "perfect" for them the day before, and they were questioning why it wasn't "rescheduled" because of the downpour. But others said that the rain soon cleared up and fans were able to enjoy the show when Sabrina came on at 9.07pm.
