SZA didn’t start as a superstar, she became one in real time. ✨

That’s what makes her run so special.

She never felt like she was trying to fit into the industry. The industry had to adjust to her.

From questioning herself, to becoming one of the most dominant voices in music.

That’s real evolution.

Cowboy Carter wasn’t just an album — it was a cultural shift. Beyoncé challenged the idea of who country music belongs to.

Country music has always been shaped by Black artists and Black Southern culture; this album simply brought that history back to the center. And she did it intentionally.

Let me give y’all a quick story on how I got these Zara Larsson photos. ☀️

The day before the show, I get an email asking if I wanted to pull up to the TODAY Summer Concert Series. The answer was obviously yes — only problem was the deadline to submit names had already passed. I sent my name in anyway and somehow got confirmed. First roadblock cleared.

All media had to be at the TODAY Plaza by 7 a.m. Early, but manageable. I set my alarm for 5 a.m. so I could get ready and leave the house by 6. Morning of the show? My alarm never goes off. I wake up at 5:40 with only 20 minutes to get ready. Thankfully, I packed my bag the night before.

I rushed, threw on a fit, grabbed my gear, and sprinted to the train. Once I finally made it to the plaza, I found media check-in and realized I was number 27 in line. Thought that was cool at first… until we got inside.

Media got pushed way off to the side, and there was only one small bleacher with three rows — all packed by the time I got there. So I ended up standing behind the bleachers in the corner with nothing but hope, an iPhone, and a camera.

Meanwhile, Zara Larsson turned the TODAY Plaza into a full-on party. She even brought Sheinelle Jones onstage for the viral “Lush Life” dance challenge after breaking her heel mid-set.

“We gotta dance extra hard because I lost my heel!” Zara joked before the two danced it out together.

Considering the situation, I honestly just tried to make the best out of it. The photos definitely could’ve been better, but sometimes that’s part of being a photographer too. Let me know what y’all think.

Momo Boyd might be one of the most important new voices of 2026.

And the crazy part?
It didn’t happen overnight, it just looks like it did.

A lot of people first heard her on “Good Flirts” with Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar.
But standing out on a track with artists like that?
That takes presence.

And she has it.

Rihanna didn’t just tap into dancehall, she helped take it global.

Because for her, this wasn’t a trend. It was identity.

Being from Barbados, Caribbean sound has always been part of who she is.

She wasn’t borrowing from the culture…
she was bringing the world into it.

A’ja Wilson being No. 1 isn’t a ranking… it’s a reality.

This isn’t about opinion.
It’s about dominance.

4× MVP.
Finals MVP.
Defensive Player of the Year.
Back-to-back double-double seasons.

And the efficiency? She’s controlling every part of the game.

This isn’t just about stats, it’s about separation.

A’ja is setting the standard

Nigel Sylvester didn’t just drop a sneaker, he built a universe.

“Brick by Brick” was never just a shoe.
It was the start of something bigger.

Now with “Brick After Brick,” he’s expanding it:
Music.
Art installations.
Even a game.

Every piece connects back to one idea:
progress takes time.

Brick by brick.

Beyoncé isn’t just attending the Met Gala, she’s helping run it.

This time, she’s not a guest — she’s a co-chair.

And that changes everything.

Because the Met Gala isn’t just about fashion.
It’s about influence.
