“Major hair. Major era.” 

That’s the caption of Cardi B’s recent post on social media that accompanied the announcement of her newly launched hair care brand, Grow-Good. 

The short promo clip, posted on Instagram Wednesday, starts with a throwback 2023 video of the rapper showing off her long, natural tresses. 

“It took me [from] about 2016 till now to grow my hair,” Cardi says in the clip. 

Throughout the rest of the video, Cardi is seen working alongside what seem to be hair professionals to develop products she says she’s proud of. 

“I am very passionate about this,” Cardi says. 

The rapper briefly opens up about “hating” her hair as a child.

“Now that I’m older, I grew to love it, appreciate it and it’s really a part of me now,” Cardi says.

Grow-Good Beauty’s Instagram page, which had more than 50,000 followers as of Wednesday afternoon, describes the brand as “Upgrading the classics with the latest science for booty-length certified hair.”

While Cardi did also release a website for purchasing products, there are not yet any products available.

Ella Langley’s the new face of American Eagle. 

“The Denim Darling,” the brand’s homepage reads, as it rolls out its campaign “introducing the award-winning country music star in her favorite AE looks.”

Ella also debuted the partnership with an Instagram video in which she’s modeling its fashions.

“When I started out playing gigs I was 18,” she says in the ad, set to the title track of her upcoming album. “There wasn’t a day or a time I don’t remember where this wasn’t the plan. Country music is storytelling. And then you do it with a little bit of twang.”

“It’s cool to be from such a small place and get to do such massive things,” she adds.

The Hope Hull, Alabama, native currently tops both the Billboard Hot 100 and Country Airplay charts with “Choosin’ Texas,” the lead single from Dandelion, which drops April 10.

Now that Bad Bunny has sung his way into Super Bowl history, who could the next halftime show performer be? According to one sports book, there’s a clear favorite.

Bovada has set odds on a slew of top artists taking the stage in 2027, and Miley Cyrus is the favorite at 3 to 1. Next is Cardi B at 4.25 to 1, followed by Taylor Swift at 4.75 to 1.

Others farther down on the list in terms of odds include Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Morgan Wallen, Metallica, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, Queen, Ed Sheeran, Adele and Tate McRae. The longest odds? Dolly Parton at 40 to 1.

The site has also set odds on a couple of artists who’ve already headlined the Super Bowl: Lady Gaga is at 12 to 1, while Bruno Mars is at 28 to 1.

Bovada notes that in the past 10 years, seven out of 10 Super Bowl halftime acts have been male, so the odds  are better for a female headliner next year.
