Bad Bunny continues to break barriers seemingly every other week — and rightfully so. He is now the first Latin American artist and the first Spanish-language musician to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Blackpink perform at Sahara Tent during the 2019 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival, in Indio, Calif., on April 19, 2019. Other notable performers at Coachella this year include Rosalía, Calvin Harris, Gorillaz, Pusha T, Bjork, Becky G, SG Lewis, Burna Boy, EarthGang, Labrinth and Chemical Brothers. Bad Bunny is expected to perform on both Fridays, Blackpink will go on both Saturdays, and Frank Ocean will close out both Sundays.

On TikTok, the hashtag “Gaylor” has more than 264 million views; the term refers to Swift fans who subscribe to the theory that she is queer. Fans have gone down these rabbit holes before, speculating over other hints across Swift’s songs, music videos and social media posts. Previous Easter eggs discovered by fans include the album title for “Lover” hidden in the background of the music video for “Me!” ahead of the album title’s announcement. “I think a lot of people have to deal with this now ... because we live in the era of social media,” Swift said. In a 2019 interview with Vogue, she addressed why she made her support for the LGBTQ community more visible.

☆ I got Web3 VIP access to see Jack Harlow in concert through an NFT club called Dancing Seahorse. But the experience felt very Web2 — and that's exactly what the company's CEO wants.

The VIP suite hosted by Dancing Seahorse offered a good but not spectacular view of the stage. Until five months ago, when he cofounded Dancing Seahorse, Nahai wasn't really into crypto or Web3, he told me. Dancing Seahorse's suite drew a crypto-curious crowd. From left: Melanie McClain; Phillip Hale-Christofi, Dancing Seahorse's head of events and experiences; and Ladidai. It was perhaps no coincidence, then, that Dancing Seahorse's suite drew a pretty crypto-curious crowd.
