It was hard to look away from the news last night as Trump supporters stormed Capitol Hill, starting a riot which then sent the building into lockdown. The chaos started as lawmakers were formalizing Joe Biden’s election victory.A lot of different artists commented it like Pink who said, 
“As a United States Citizen, and the daughter of two veterans, and the sister of another, I am ashamed of what is happening in Washington. Hypocrisy, shame, Embarrassment. Unpatriotic hypocritical sheep drinking poison Kool aid. This a sad day for America.”

John Legend went to Twitter to say, “Anyone who voted for this tragic shitty narcissist mess of a president bears responsibility for this debacle today. He has shown you exactly who he was all along. You still supported him. You are complicit in the attempted destruction of the country. You are not a patriot.”

Sara Bareilles said, “This is insane. Trump’s wreckless negligence and insistence on an alternate reality has built a real one in front of our eyes. This is beyond dangerous, pathetic and completely desperate. It’s not powerful to “rage” against the TRUTH. It’s anarchistic chaos. GROW THE F UP.” 

Cardi B said “Where the National guards ?” Before they had shown up and added “The irony is pretty funny.........weren’t people just wild animals in the summer for demanding justice and now?......Let me just watch” 

Selena Gomez who has been using her platform to call out different leaders of social media sites for allowing the share of misinformation said, 

“Today is the result of allowing people with hate in their hearts to use platforms that should be used to bring people together and allow people to build community,” she wrote. “Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Jack Dorsey, Sundar Pichal, Susan Wojcicki — you have all failed the American people today, and I hope you’re going to fix things going forward.”

Demi Lovato shared tweets and posts about the riots with a caption that read, 

“My heart is broken. It makes me too sad to believe how naive I was to think this couldn’t possibly happen, and yet it did. Here we are. For everyone in my comments saying “where’s d7” or wanting me to sing instead of speaking up about what needs to change in this country, THIS IS WHY I POST AS MUCH AS I DO. THIS IS WHY I CARE. THIS CANNOT HAPPEN ANY FUCKING MORE. I’m angry, embarrassed and ashamed. I’m in the studio working on something special after today’s assault on democracy.”
STORY 2

In order less stressful news today Zayn went on his Instagram story to tease that he has new music coming out tomorrow. The video had a few seconds of what we are assuming is the new song with a curtain and text that said “Tomorrow”. 

We got the music video from The Weeknd for his song “Save Your Tears” and also a continuation from his whole bandage thing he’s been doing since he came out with his album After Hours. We have slowly seen him sporting more and more bandages on his face. When he was on stage at the American Music Awards he was hardly recognizable and now in the video for this song he is seen sporting many prosthetics to make it appear that he has a lot of plastic surgery in his face. A lot of people mainly just want to know his reasoning behind it and also if this is a look we can expect from him at the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. Fans also think that he planed a Selena Gomez look alike in his video because one of the actresses looks surprisingly just like Selena. 

Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z is celebrating her 9th birthday today. This girl has already accomplished so much  in her short life. She is the youngest person to receive a Grammy nomination for the music video for “Brown Skin Girl” and if she wins she will become the younger Grammy winner in history.
