Shawn Mendes has caused controversy with his latest track, What The Hell Are We Dying For? after he used a photo of New York City engulfed in clouds of smoke from the Canadian wildfires as artwork for the single. The photo has since gone viral, with many fans calling the decision "ignorant" and "silly". Shawn, however – who is donating proceeds from the song to the Canadian Red Cross – revealed that he wrote the song just 24 hours prior to its release because he felt it was important for him to share it "in real time".
Elon Musk is facing the wrath of Taylor Swift fans after he compared her to "Napoleon Dynamite in drag". In a since-deleted post, the Twitter CEO shared a photo of the Bad Blood singer next to a picture of actor Jon Heder, who starred in the 2004 comedy, sporting his trademark ginger perm. Captioning the image, Elon claimed he was a Swiftie before making the comparison which has angered many of Taylor's fans, who retaliated by calling him "bitter" and an "attention seeker."
Rebel Wilson is taking her career to the next level after signing a deal with Warner Music. The Pitch Perfect actress is launching her own record label she has called Rebellionaire, and will release soundtracks for musicals sent through her scholarship program, the Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission, which she developed in 2019 at Sydney's Australian Theatre for Young People. Rebellionaire's first release is slated to be the soundtrack for her upcoming directorial debut, The Deb, a musical set in Australia.
And Robbie Williams has revealed that his hit 1997 song Angels is actually about angels, specifically the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. Speaking on the 'Weaponized' YouTube page, Robbie said that for years people have believed he has been singing about his mum, but the track was inspired by his own belief in the celestial beings, saying he "loves" the idea of them and that it is not lost on him that "the most powerful song" he's ever had is "about an angelic force".
