Meaghan Garvey got very sunburned & set a new high bar for what I'll call "t-shirt journalism" w her deep chronicle of Morgan Wallen's Sand In My Boots fest for @billboard.com -- treat yourself to an astonishingly funny (and vividlyreported) read www.billboard.com/music/countr...

More @billboard.com news this week: an ace deep dive into how Anjula Acharia built 5 Junction Records and is readying South Asian stars for Western breakthroughs (with @warnermusic.bsky.social ) by @jasonlipshutz.bsky.social www.billboard.com/business/rec...

If you haven't read @hannahdailey.bsky.social @billboard.com cover story on Gracie Abrams yet you're missing out - whatever your feelings on Gracie, it's a fascinating look at building a devoted fandom and a rising star in the midst of the career whirlwind! www.billboard.com/music/pop/gr...

Not much in life can bring me more joy than breaking @carlyraejepsen.music-social.com.ap.brid.gy news and I got to do that this morning for @billboard.com - feeling good vibes about the potential for this!! www.billboard.com/music/pop/ca...

Saw @mincemeatbway.bsky.social last night — an enjoyably scrappy and clever show w unpretentious performances and delightful stagecraft, which ends up being a warm-hearted tribute to theater-making with friends, too

It's @billboard.com Women in Music week and our artist honorees are crazy great. Here's cover Icon Erykah Badu reflecting on performing v recording, making new music w Alchemist, building home ramps and so much more in Dallas (inc posing w her son's Great Danes) www.billboard.com/music/awards...

And our final @sxsw.com Billboard cover: John Summit, dance music prince ascendant, in Miami, who sees his life as cinema in action (and isn't above a LOTR reference!) www.billboard.com/music/featur...

Another @sxsw.com Billboard cover w more great TX storytelling: Grupo Frontera in McAllen, talking carne asadas, padel, repping the RGV and more! www.billboard.com/music/latin/...

The @sxsw.com Billboard covers are up and they're good ones First up: talking "noodling", ghosts, tequila and more in deep East TX w the very entertaining @KoeWetzel www.billboard.com/music/countr...

I spoke to Doechii’s choreographer about her instantly iconic #GRAMMYs performance — including, yes, the conveyor belts 🐊🐊 www.billboard.com/music/awards...

It's harder than ever for a new musical to survive; a new label is trying to help change that, supporting new shows from inception thru cast recording, and I wrote about it for Billboard www.billboard.com/music/pop/jo...

Excited to see what Joy Huerta (of Latin chart forces Jesse & Joy) does with the new musical of Real Women Have Curves! BB Español talked to her about venturing into theater: www.billboard.com/music/latin/...

First Billboard cover of the year by not-on-Bsky Kyle Denis - on the ground in Jamaica with the incredibly influential, divisive and charismatic Vybz Kartel as he preps for his first performance after 13 years in prison. A must-read! www.billboard.com/music/featur...

Incredible work by our Kyle Denis (come to Bluesky Kyle!!) capturing the post-incarceration career and mindset of Vybz Kartel -- who's prob still a bit underrecognized for being, in Kyle's own words, "the most influential Jamaican recording artist since Bob Marley." www.billboard.com/music/featur...

E-A-G-L-E-S! My first story of the year: getting the BTS lowdown on how @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social Philly Specials recorded their latest Xmas album. Yes, there is some fun Kelce scoop within. (cc @phleaglesnation.bsky.social @tayvisnation.swifties.social ) www.billboard.com/music/pop/ph...

Also pretty stoked that @tylerthecreator.bsky.social managers Christian and Kelly Clancy opened up about their longtime relationship w him -- and just as significantly, Christian's @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social fandom (peep that pendant...) www.billboard.com/pro/tyler-th...

Genuinely thrilling to at long last have @tylerthecreator.bsky.social on the cover of Billboard — one of the most consistently surprising & truly innovative artists in any year — by @rembert.bsky.social www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip...

Literally almost ran into singing Tom Francis and the Sunset Blvd. THING tonight 😮 (Now that I know it is real I am *very concerned* about their tender lil vocal cords in this weather!!!)

Hi, I'm new here. 👋 Here's a fun intro to "me-core" stories: a fun chat I had with @davidwain.bsky.social & Ken Marino about Middle Aged Dad Band. It's got magic AND Pippin...coincidence? I think not. www.billboard.com/music/music-...
