Description

This week on Name 3 Songs…

⚡ Fangirl Nonsense: Dua Lipa is maybe a boring pop star? Chappell Roan owned Coachella. Barry Keoghan is spotted being a supportive boyfriend to Sabrina Carpenter. 

⚡  Orville Peck and Willie Nelson teamed up for a gay cowboy anthem. Orville Peck is one of the few openly gay country singers. Willie Nelson is a grandfather of the genre. The two teamed up for a cover of “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other” – making a statement that country is for the LGBTQIA+ community despite what the country industry tries to make people believe. 

⚡ Jojo Siwa faces backlash from netizens after claiming she wanted to make a new genre – “gay pop.” This is coupled with the release of her new song “Karma” and the accompanying music video that sees Siwa leaning into the sexual pop star trope for the first time in her career. We discuss how the 20 year-old dancer-turned-singer is using sexual imagery to distance herself from her child star image and how this decision compares to Disney stars like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.
