BRITNEY SPEARS MADE HER RETURN TO MUSIC

BRITNEY SPEARS IS BACK, B*TCHES. It's been six years since she's released music, but Britney's collaboration with the legendary Elton John, "Hold Me Closer," was totally worth the wait. An end-of-summer disco anthem, much? I'm also loving seeing Britney continuing to enjoy her newfound freedom. KEEP BRINGING IT, QUEEN!

 

LIZZO HAD A MET GALA MOMENT AT THE MTV VMAS

It's the fact Lizzo had a Met Gala moment at the MTV VMAs for me? While this Jean Paul Gaultier dress would look like a garbage bag on most people, Lizzo, of course, transformed it into an iconic gothic vision that'll for sure go down in Black Carpet History. Oh, and don't even get me started on this Nicki Minaj-quoting acceptance speech!

 

CARDI B WAS COUNTING DOWN TO CHRISTMAS

A WHOLE DAMN MOOD, MUCH? As far as I'm concerned, September 1st is basically the official start of the Christmas countdown. Okay, so I appreciate we have to get through Halloween and Thanksgiving first, but I'm thinking let's celebrate it all at once? Just imagine sipping on a Pumpkin Spice Latte under the glow of a Christmas tree?

 

CHLOË WENT FOR A SING AND A MORNING SWIM

While I'm not sure how practical it is to go for a morning swim in full makeup and eyelashes, it can be said with confidence this video has me gagged. The vocal technique? The bikini body-ody-ody-ody-ody? Chloë really has it all. Bring on "For the Night." P.S. This cameo during Jack Harlow's MTV VMAs performance was everything!

 

DOLLY PARTON WAS NEITHER DUMB NOR BLONDE

Me every time Dolly Parton so much as breathes:

 

LIL NAS X SERVED BLACK SWAN AT THE MTV VMAS

While Lizzo may have won Best Dressed at the MTV VMAs, Lil Nas X was most definitely a close second with this feathered masterpiece by Harris Reed. It's giving Black Swan, and I'm absolutely here for it. If there's one thing about my Twitter King, he's going to single-handedly slay an awards ceremony. Hint hint, BET. AND I OOP!

 

TYLER, THE CREATOR TOOK US BACK TO 2001

THE NOSTALGIA JUMPED OUT. Tyler, the Creator is taking me back to better times with this tweet. Why was life so much simpler then? It really feels like the summer of 2001 was our last moment of childhood innocence before everything went to sh*t. Another nostalgic banger: "Movies." ALIEN ANT FARM COLLABORATION WHEN?

 

JACK HARLOW SUBTWEETED FRANK OCEAN

Jack Harlow really do be out here tweeting the first thing that comes into his mind, huh? It's times like this that I remember why Frank Ocean doesn't use Twitter or Instagram. Hahaha. P.S. Those plane cameos were everything, but can we also talk about that Fergie appearance during Jack's MTV VMAs performance of "First Class?" ICONIC!

 

TAYLOR SWIFT ANNOUNCED HER NEW ALBUM MIDNIGHTS

FALL IS SAVED!

 

DIONNE WARWICK DISCOVERED YUNG GRAVY

LMAO. I think Dionne Warwick speaks for all of us with this tweet? No, really, I'm a professional music correspondent, and I can officially say I'd never heard of Yung Gravy until three nights ago. Now, of course, I'm totally obsessed with Gravy (Do I call him that?) and Sheri Easterling. Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian could never!
