Chicago pride! Chance the Rapper has been BLOWING UP the charts, airwaves, television stations, and everything in between. His care for social movements, casual personality, and simple style has made him one of everyone’s favorite artists they believe no one has heard yet. Not to mention being from Chicago, he is providing nothing but pride here by having special shows including his Magnificent Coloring Day, and Grammy nomination celebration party at a music venue in Wrigleyville. SPEAKING OF WRIGLEY, how about them Cubs?!
Drake and Taylor Swift. Not only were they fueling dating rumors, but they were writing songs together? Is this a preview to 2017 Swift? Is she crossing over to Hip Hop? Also, their Apple Music advertisements (1, 2) covering each other were not only entertaining, but were extremely necessary for life.
Disney stars rising and falling, and rising again. If you know me, I always have to keep up with my Disney stars. Where do I begin? Demi Lovato announcing her break-up with boyfriend of six years, Wilmer Valderamma, only to go on to headline the biggest tour of her career with her best friend, Nick Jonas, and earn a Grammy Nomination. Incredible. Jonas releasing his best-selling album and most personal album, Last Year Was Complicated. Now looking forward to when next year is Uncomplicated… I don’t know I tried. Selena Gomez wrapping up her biggest tour, only to check herself into rehab and admitting on the American Music Awards that she is broken and working to repair herself. We’re here for you, Selena! Joe Jonas in DNCE winning the Video Music Award for Best New Artist, and perform Cake By the Ocean, almost every night. What a smash that tune is, really. Miley Cyrus becoming a judge on The Voice USA. I catch her Hannah Montana movies on HBO all the time, and it seems like another dimension. Can’t forget the other Jonas’s! Kevin has been releasing apps and had another daughter, Valentina, and Frankie got arrested for marijuana possession, and started college as a 15 year-old. That Jonas family though…
BEYONCE. Lemonade. Formation World Tour. Girl power. Black Culture. EVERYTHING about this year with her has been life-changing and nothing but progression. LOVE.
Here’s to an INCREDIBLE 2017!
