IT’S CATCH UP TIME!
A sneak peek of Sabrina Carpenter’s new album, Riri and Chappell meet fanfiction, and heartthrobs finding their +1’s — here’s a quick roundup of what went down in the pop culture world this weekend.

Hey Kim, are you there?
You don’t need to guess the colour of Charli’s underwear anymore. Posing for Kim Kardashian’s Skims, the zeitgeist disruptor stunned in a campaign shot on film by Petra Collins, rocking a set of white cotton boxers and a tank top. But what we really want to know is — will it be available in brat green? Add to cart.
Love is in… London

Apparently, Paris’ romance-infused air has crossed the pond, making the British capital the ultimate nest for lovebirds — or at least, it was this past weekend. After months of internet gossip and sneaky paparazzi photos over dinner, Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams were seen walking around London holding hands. And so were Doja Cat and Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn, spotted together at Camden’s Dingwalls following the rapper’s iconic public demonstration of interest in the actor on X, asking his then co-star Noah Schnapp to set her up with Quinn. The power of manifestation, my friends.
Bad Gal Chappel Roan?
Riri has followed Chappell on IG. And yes, the biggest pop star of our generation might have just caught up with the Midwestern Princess fever now, but we can’t help but speculate that the move means more than just a mere button hit. Amid heated speculations that Rihanna could be coming back on tour next year — headlining Glastonbury and releasing her highly anticipated new album??? — a public show of appreciation for another artist could also mean… a collab incoming? The house (as in, the internet) would go down, but we’re so here for it.
A Midnights dream
Queen Taylor Swift’s love affair with London is undeniable—and what better way to celebrate the last leg of her British tour this summer than by sporting a new Midnights bodysuit? Taylor’s Eras Tour wardrobe is already etched in the annals of fashion as one of the most glamorous (and extensive) costume showcases of the year. As in, worth an exhibition in the V&A kind of imprint. We’re obsessed with her newest addition — and fans, of course, are expecting it to be another one of Taylor’s Easter eggs about her upcoming release plans.
The countdown is on!
@sabrinacarpenter 4 days until short n’ sweet! who got a vinyl
Sabrina Carpenter’s new album, Short n’ Sweet, will be out in just 4 days—and this weekend, the pop star took to TikTok to show fans a sneak peek of what’s coming our way, playing around with her brand-new vinyl. The internet, always quick on the trigger, immediately went into hysterics upon noticing a bonus track on the vinyl’s alternate cover, named “Needless To Say.” We’re on the edge of our seats, Miss Carpenter!
