Music’s biggest names rally together for FireAid & love is in the air with Father John Misty—this is what you missed.
#1
Father John Misty = Cupid
Love is in the air—and on vinyl—as Father John Misty celebrates the 10th anniversary of I Love You, Honeybear with a remastered edition dropping Feb. 14. The reissue includes a pearlescent red “Loser” vinyl, a Canadian exclusive “Coke Bottle Clear” pressing, and a digital collection featuring Josh Tillman’s soulful cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box.” The album, a romantic opus inspired by Tillman’s love story with wife Emma, cemented his fame and earned a spot on Rolling Stone‘s best-of-the-century list. Bonus? His North American tour kicks off just in time to soundtrack your Valentine vibes.

FireAid Ignites
Music’s biggest names, including Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, are rallying for FireAid, a massive Jan. 30 benefit concert supporting wildfire victims in Los Angeles. With a powerhouse lineup featuring Gwen Stefani, Sting, Stevie Nicks, and more, the event spans two venues and countless streaming platforms, offering fans a chance to tune in and donate. Proceeds will aid rebuilding efforts, displaced families, and fire prevention, while the LA Clippers cover event costs. A true “evening of music and solidarity,” it proves once again: where there’s fire, there’s heart.
#3
Turning Loss Into Creativity
After losing their home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire, The Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are channeling heartbreak into hits. Montag’s 2010 album Superficial soared to No. 1 on iTunes, and the couple is now working on new music with top-secret collaborators. Grateful for fan support, they’re also exploring ways to give back to the community through their projects. As Montag puts it, this dark time is transforming into a “blessing” fueled by hope, creativity, and a dash of nostalgia.

A Literal Artist
Lucy Dacus stepped out of the frame—literally and figuratively—on The Tonight Show, debuting her haunting new single “Ankles” in a museum-inspired performance. Donning a regal red dress, she delivered poetic lyrics backed by a seven-piece band and a dreamy painted backdrop. The track, alongside “Limerence,” teases her upcoming album Forever Is a Feeling, out March 28. Known for her nuanced songwriting, Dacus moves beyond the “sad-girl” trope, embracing joy and depth. Next stop? Intimate shows in museums and churches, proving art and music are her perfect canvas.
