Lizzo is defending herself after receiving a bunch of backlash after promoting a juice cleanse she went on. She posted videos to her TikTok and Instagram showing the progress photos of her 10 day cleanse and explained that after messing up her body by not eating properly. The comments quickly filled with people saying that she is promoting diet culture and unhealthy practices. Others say they were surprised at the fact that she would promote limited eating to people when she is all about preaching body positivity. 

Lizzo responded by posting a video explaining that she didn’t do the cleanse in order to lose weight but to fix her stomach after eating lots of spicy food and drinking a lot in November. She talked about the benefits like sleep, inner peace, mental stability, her skin and more. She also made a post on her instagram saying, “To the people who look to me, please do not starve yourselves. I did not starve myself. I fed myself greens and water and fruit and protein and sunlight. You don’t have to do that to be beautiful or healthy. That was my way. You can do life your way. Remember, despite anything anyone says or does ✨DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH YOUR BODY”

Shawn Mendes opened up about people assuming and guessing his sexuality when he was on the podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Sheppard. He talked about having to respond to the speculation and said “It was so frustrating for me because there were some people in my life that I was very, very close to who were gay and in the closet, and I felt like this real anger for those people. I don’t know, it’s such a tricky thing. You want to say, ‘I’m not gay but it’d be fine if I was gay, but also there’s nothing wrong with being gay but I’m not.’ You don’t really know how to respond to the situation.”

He said that people have been calling him gay since he was 15 because of his feminine characteristics but when on to say that men shouldn’t feel shamed for being vulnerable and holding in emotions. It is nice that this is the message that he and people like Harry Styles are pushing because it’s totally true - we don’t need these “manly men” - we just need people who are comfortable in their skin. 

After three years we are finally on our way to getting new music from Lorde. She went on a big trip to Antarctica last year that she says has been a huge influence on the album she is working on now. 

Taylor Swift cleared up the rumours that she has a third secret album on the way. A lot of fans thought we could expect another one since they found the word “woodvale” in white font found on a photo she posted. 

Taylor was on Jimmy Kimmel and explained that leaving that word there was actually an accident. She explained that she was keeping the album title “folklore” such a secret when creating the album and album art that she would use the word “woodvale” as a place holder. She said they were playing around with how the album title would look but then she ultimately decided to go without any text but forgot to remove the word. She said there is no album coming.
