This week on Two Queens, Two Crowns, the VMAs made us feel like certified elder millennials. From Mariah Carey’s forever-diva energy to Tate McRae’s “diaper chic,” we break down the performances, the fashion, and why the award show itself feels like it’s on life support.

We also dig into Sabrina Carpenter’s set—her pro-trans messaging, her connection to Taylor Swift, and why we still think she’s holding back.

Then, we turn to Lizzo’s New York Magazine profile and unpack her rebirth moment, what it means to start over after controversy, and why going deeper with fans might be the only way to win in 2025.

Plus, Megan Thee Stallion finds the most iconic way to serve legal papers, and Black News brings us everything from purple-dress wedding drama to dog-food lunches.
