Chappell Roan “Pink Pony Club” Grammy Performance

The Grammy Awards were two weeks ago, but they’re just finally releasing full videos of the performances on YouTube.

Which, I get it. They wanted people who didn’t watch it live to stream it for a couple of weeks. I mean, it makes sense.

Anyhow, in case you missed it, Chappel Roan did one HELL of a performance of her massive hit “Pink Pony Club” and it’s pretty much the energy I want to give every day of my life.


I mean, WHATTTTT???

She performed it totally live and absolutely KILLED it.

And having a horse that is very similar to the props in this performance, I’m thinking I know what Angel and I are going as for Halloween.

What I loved most about this performance is the sheer joy that Chappel Roan brings to the stage. You can tell that she thrives there.

And her guitarist.

Hot Freaking Damn!

I absolutely love this song and performance, and I literally wake up with “Pink Pony Club” on loop in my head.

I’m not mad at it, though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sabrina Carpenter and Dolly Parton “Please, Please, Please”

Earlier this morning, Sabrina Carpenter dropped the deluxe version of her Grammy Award winning album “Short n’ Sweet”, and it features a remake of her hit song “Please, Please, Please” with none other than the ICONIC Dolly Parton on it!

And of course, it’s stinking adorable.

Aaaahhh! LOVE it!

And I love the reference to Sabrina’s ex- actor Barry Keoghan- at the end.

Perfect.

And in case you missed it, here’s Sabrina’s full 2025 Grammy Award performance. It finally got released to YouTube:

I freaking love her.

Again, her deluxe version of “Short n’ Sweet” is out now, and I highly suggest you check her out if you’re not up on how awesome she is!

Teddy Swims “Guilty”

New Teddy Swims?

Ain’t nobody gonna be mad about that.

Teddy Swims became majorly mainstream in the past couple of years, thanks to his massive hit “Lose Control” which was (and still is) everywhere.  And he proved that he’s no one-hit wonder with more hits like “The Door” and “Bad Dreams”, which are also getting major airplay. His sound is perfect- incredible bluesy rock vocals that seem to have no limit, plus great, catchy songs that pretty much everyone can enjoy.  I always say that he’s what would happen if Chris Stapleton and Jelly Roll had a baby.

Anyhow, Teddy has a new album out called “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2)” and here’s the new single off of it called “Guilty”:

Pretty damn good, right?

Teddy’s vocals are in another universe.

Yeah, this guy isn’t going anywhere, and that’s a good thing.

“Die With a Smile” Acoustic Version

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have a big hit on their hand with “Die With a Smile”, and rightfully so, as it is absolutely gorgeous song.

Well recently, they released an acoustic version, and it’s stunning, of course:


Ok, so it’s not a big departure from the original, but I love that you hear Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’s incredible vocals even more on this.

Just a perfect song highlighting two massive talents.

Can we just get a duet album from these two?

Pretty please?

Michael Buble and Carly Pearce “Maybe This Christmas”

Tis’ the Season for Holiday Music!

And we just got a beautiful new Christmas song from Michael Buble and Country Star Carly Pearce called “Maybe This Christmas”, and I absolutely love it!


First of all, you can’t go wrong with these two mega-talents.

Secondly, I love that it’s a more somber, poignant song, which differentiates itself from the usually overly cheerful holiday tunes that dominate during the season.

It’s a reminder that not everyone is feeling super festive, and many are lonely during these times. I’ve been there myself, being an Army wife and spending holidays with my husband overseas, and away from my family.

Just a different perspective for the holidays, and completely necessary in my opinion.

Also, remember those deployed durng the holidays, and their families back home- this song definitely makes me think of them all.

 

And as one of the lines in the song states, “I wish you all the love that your heart can hold”.

 

Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga Live in Vegas!

I am floored.

I mean, I already know that Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are some of the best talents in the business, but this recent live performance in Las Vegas of their hit duet “Die With a Smile” is just wow.

Like really, really, wow.

It is so rare for artists to sound as good or better than they do on a recording, but Bruno and Gaga just proved why they are still relevant and some of the absolute BEST out there.

Bruno is currently at the Dolby Live in Las Vegas, where he is in residency.

Also, I think we need a collaborative album with these two, don’t you think?

Oh, and just for comparison, here is the recorded version:

Again, WOW.

 

Postmodern Jukebox “Good Luck Babe”

I’m just a little obsessed with Postmodern Jukebox and the amazing covers and reimagining of popular songs in a vintage style.

Their latest offering?

A take on the wildly popular Pop song “Good Luck, Babe” by one of this year’s breakout stars Chappell Roan in the style of the late Lesley Gore.

It’s prety dang fantastic, and Tatum Langley KILLS it on the vocals.

Enjoy:


LOOOOOVVEEEE!

Seriously, everyone in this group is insanely talented, and I’m gonna jump down the rabbit hole once again instead of doing things I actually should be doing, like dishes.

Lady Gaga “Disease”

Lady Gaga announced earlier this week that she had more new music coming, and she made good on that promise this morning by dropping the Rock tinged track “Disease”, and, of course, it’s pretty damn good.

I mean, it’s Gaga after all.


I love the rock edge, and I’m feeling Nine Inch Nails “Closer” vibes as well as a tinge of her song “Bloody Mary” in there.

I’m definitely not disappointed, and it’s already taking up rent-free space in my head.

The song is most likely off of Lady Gaga’s upcoming 7th studio album, which we know she has been working on.

This song defnitely bodes well fr the rest of the album. I’m hoping for more Rock Gaga in he future.

You hear that universe? Make it happen.

 

 

Jelly Roll and Kelly Clarkson “I Am Not Ok”

 

This is SO good!

Jelly Roll was on the “Kelly Clarkson Show” earlier today, and they performed his latest hit on Country Radio “I Am Not Ok” together with Kelly on the back-up vocals, and it just took it to a whole new level.

Seriously, though. Kelly just makes everything EVEN better.

Her voice is just on a whole different plane than most humans.

Also, Jelly Roll has a new album out featuring the song you just heard and 22 other songs. It’s called, “Beautifully Broken”, and came out last week.

I still have chill bumps from that performance, how about you?

Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert Cover Chappell Roan!

The “Kelly Clarkson Show” is back on NBC for the 6th season, and Miranda Lambert was one of the guests this morning, and Kelly and Miranda did an acoustic version of the Chappell Roan smash “Good Luck Babe”, and it totally killed:


Ok, can we get a full-on recorded version of that?

Their voices mesh so well, and it’s just a cool take on that song.

In case you have been on another planet this Summer, here’s the OG:

 

There’s no official music video for the song, which is annoying. BUT this live version on Jimmy Fallon from this past Summer is almost as good:


Yeah, pretty sure Chappell Roan isn’t going anywhere for a while.

Also, I can’t wait for more great covers from Kelly Clarkson this season!

You know I’ll be sharing my favorites.
