What I think about the celeb world!
Today Rita Ora made her pop comeback with Your Song, her first track in two years, and I really like it. So I want to her to ditch all her other gigs and put full focus on her music career because I’m confident that she can become known as a legitimate popstar again, IF the rest of her album is as good as the lead single.
When Camila Cabello announced she was leaving Fifth Harmony in December, I wrote a post in which I said she basically made a mistake and left the group way too soon, because they weren’t big enough yet and she should have stuck with them for a bit longer as it would have been a better launchpad for her solo career. Turns out I was wrong and her solo stuff is amazing.
I’m not usually one to do a music review but I think Harry Styles‘ debut single Sign of the Times warrants discussion! It was released today after weeks of hype so I really feared it was going to be crap. He faced a lot of expectation and while he hasn’t received resounding praise, he won me over. Let me explain why.
Last night it was the Grammys awards, which is one of my favourite red carpet events because celebs dress bolder. The dress code doesn’t seem to be as serious and formal as the Oscars for example and celebs tend to have more fun – and there were certainly some interesting choices!
In case you have been living in a hole, let me fill you in: Lady Gaga performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show last night and she didn’t disappoint. I have been a fan of hers since the beginning but I haven’t loved her musical output so much in recent years and I was hoping she would eventually do something to come back on top and she has!! Her performance is definitely my favourite since Beyonce’s in 2013.
When Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik surprise released their sexy duet I Don’t Wanna Live Forever in December, I said this had marked a change for her and predicted this would be the start of a sexier phase – and judging by the video, I was right.

With the exception of The Weeknd and Little Mix there weren’t any impending music releases I was that excited about in 2016 and I hope that changes in 2017. There are quite a few pop stars we haven’t heard from in ages and I reckon this year is when they drop the much-awaited new material.

Camila Cabello‘s departure from Fifth Harmony wasn’t surprising to anyone. Their friendship looked frosty as hell, they had been dogged with split rumours and she had already been doing some solo stuff. But if she thinks leaving the band is going to be her Beyonce/Zayn Malik/Geri Halliwell/Robbie Williams moment then she will be mistaken. The girl group is not big enough yet and I imagine she will regret leaving so soon.
Today Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik blew our minds by dropping a surprise duet I Don’t Wanna Live Forever. So far, so unexpected. What shocked me further was that it’s for the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack! WHAAAAAT?! WTF?! This makes no sense to me in terms of Taylor’s ‘brand’ so I believe it that it can only mean one thing – she is overhauling her image.
You know I love a good red carpet! There were some absolutely gorgeous outfits at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last night – my favourite was Ariana Grande‘s crop top and white high-waisted trousers. I want this look!
