Pop Powerhouses to Announce The Grammys

The list of presenters includes pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, the charismatic diva-pop artist Chappell Roan, chart-topping rapper Doechii, and Latin music powerhouse Karol G. Given their own massive years, which could see all four artists earning nods, this is less a simple announcement and more a celebratory showcase of the year’s most dominant female voices.

Florence + The Machine Tells Everyone to Scream
Just in time for Halloween, Florence + The Machine dropped their sixth studio album, ‘Everybody Scream’, on October 31st.

The album is a powerful, cathartic exploration of fame, womanhood, and mortality, blending her signature sweeping alt-rock sound with themes of mysticism and folk horror. Featuring the title track and the single “Sympathy Magic,” the project is an intense, personal reckoning with what it costs to be an iconic performer.
