Charli XCX’s new song is called “Rock Music,” and while it does incorporate an electric guitar, she denies that it actually is rock music. Now, she’s taken to Instagram to share her thoughts on the divisive feedback she’s been getting about the song.
“seeing all the different reactions to my song rock music has been really interesting,” she writes, adding, “i’m not gonna explain where i was coming from with ‘rock music,’ but all i know is that things can be funny, earnest, sincere, and joyful all at the same time and that’s what i feel about a lot of the things i make.”
“i love talking about music and art w my friends, so im happy people are throwing out thoughts,” Charli writes, concluding, “anyways, just was thinking about things and thought i’d put them on the internet, will probably regret it lol.”
Charli has also posted a behind-the-scenes look of the making of the song’s video, revealing that in one scene, she decided to throw a salt shaker and accidentally hit her husband, George Daniel, right in the head. “I feel so terrible,” she says. In another part of the clip, we learn that she’s wearing her actual wedding dress under a black leather jacket in several scenes.

Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, are among the celebrities recognized on the Time 100 Philanthropy list, which the magazine says highlights the “world’s most influential givers, leaders, advocates, and thinkers.”
The mag notes that those who made the list are “representing the most compelling stories in philanthropy today, in a field that moves more than $1 trillion globally each year.”
Elton and David are recognized for their Elton John AIDS Foundation, which was founded in 1992, and is dedicated to eradicating HIV/AIDS by 2030. Since its founding, the organization has raised more than $650 million to help AIDS-related causes.
“We’re honoured to be named on the 2026 #TIME100Philanthropy list, alongside the most influential people shaping the future of giving,” reads a post on the pair’s individual Instagram accounts. “Philanthropy, at its heart, is solidarity. It’s funding the boldest, bravest ideas before anyone else will. It’s standing with the people the world has tried to push aside and refusing to accept that any life is worth less than another.”
“And that’s exactly what we are committed to doing through @ejaf’s mission: to end the AIDS epidemic and ensure that no one is left behind,” they add. “So thank you, @time. And more than anything, thank you to every person who has stood with us along the way. The fight to end AIDS is far from over. Neither are we.”

Mike and Thug have previously worked on songs including 2017’s “W Y O (What You On)” and “Fate” from the Creed II soundtrack.

Paul McCartney was a guest on this week’s Goalhanger podcast, The Rest is Entertainment, where he talked about the importance of his iconic Beatles tune “Hey Jude” in bringing folks together.
“Particularly these days, too, you do something like ‘Hey Jude’ and you see this whole audience singing together,” McCartney says. “I mean, in Trump’s America, and the Republicans and Democrats all at each other’s throats — when we do that song, they’re not.”
“They’re all loving it, and it’s like, wow, this is pretty amazing,” he adds. “You know, suddenly this room has forgotten all of that, and is not, you know, going to argue with each other, they’re just going to sing together. So those kinds of things, I think, are valuable.” He notes, “I like that, and I also like it for them.”
In talking about pleasing his audience, McCartney brought up Bob Dylan, noting he has seen him live a couple times and “I couldn’t tell what song the song was he was doing.”
“I get it if he doesn’t want to do ‘Mr. Tambourine Man,’ you know, maybe he’s fed up with that, but I would like to hear it,” he says. “And I’ve paid.”
McCartney is set to appear on another Goalhanger podcast, The Rest is History, which debuts Thursday at 7 p.m. ET. During the appearance he discusses growing up in Liverpool, The Beatles’ creative process and more. He also debuts a clip of the new song “Salesman Saint” from his upcoming album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, which will be released May 29.
The music of Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, The Charlie Daniels Band and Rosanne Cash is officially becoming part of American history, as their work joins the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
Reba’s Rumor Has It album is one of only 25 recordings chosen this year, alongside Rosanne’s 1993 album, The Wheel, The CDB’s “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and Vince’s “Go Rest High on That Mountain.”
“I’ve been writing songs for over 50 years, and if you asked me straight up what’s the one song you’d want to be remembered for, I would pick this one, hands down. Wouldn’t even be close,” Vince says. “In my era of success, it was probably the least charting record I’ve ever had, but what this song has gone on to do for other people is what makes it special to me.”
Ray Charles’ pivotal Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music from 1962 is also part of country’s 2026 contributions, alongside country alum Taylor Swift’s 1989 album.
Other cultural juggernauts like José Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad,” Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” Chaka Kahn’s “I Feel for You” and Gladys Knight and the Pips’ “Midnight Train to Georgia” also enter the collection.
Lainey Wilson & Devlin “Duck” Hodges (Disney/Michael Le Brecht)
Lainey Wilson and Devlin “Duck” Hodges were married Sunday, May 10, at Ruskin Cave in Dickson, Tennessee, the couple revealed in an extensive spread via Vogue.
“Pretty inseparable since” being set up on a blind date in 2021, the former NFL quarterback surprised Lainey with a proposal at George Jones’ estate in February 2025.
The two discovered their wedding venue by chance.
“Duck and I were driving backroads in Tennessee and saw a billboard for The Ruskin Cave,” the CMA and ACM entertainer of the year tells Vogue.
On her wedding day, Lainey arrived by horse-drawn carriage, wearing a custom Oscar de la Renta gown emblazoned with tiny Japanese cherry blossoms representing “living in the moment.”
“I have never seen Duck smile as big as he did then,” she recalls. “It made me feel giddy about turning the page into this next chapter of marriage. We were both anxious to say ‘I do!’”
Married on a cobblestone ledge by a waterfall, the two kept their big day true to their roots.
“We wanted it to be special and beautiful, but really welcoming and comfortable,” Lainey says. “Being from Louisiana, I wanted to bring in a little bit of Cajun flair, so naturally we hired a 12-piece jazz band called Rebirth and had a Cajun meal from the chefs at my bar, Bell Bottoms Up.”
After cocktail hour, it was time for the reception in the cave, complete with a prayer from Lainey’s mom.
“Our family and friends know how to have a good time, and the dance floor was packed all night,” Lainey says. “To close out a perfect evening, Duck and I followed the band through a send-off line of sparklers and cheering loved ones, climbed into an old white Ford truck, and drove off!”
